Apple's market cap soars past $800 billion as shares march higher on 'iPhone 8' hype
That's why imo reading the troll infested comments on MacRumors is a waste of time. Glad AppleInsider is here.lkrupp said:And just to show how f’d up the blogosphere is the trolls over at MacRumors are trashing Apple big time over this achievement. That site has become about as anti-Apple as any Android fanboy site.

With Apple abandoning AirPort, here are the best alternative Wi-Fi routers for Mac users
My home wireless network has been flaky.
I had a cable tech redo most of the wiring so, the signal to the modem is good.
What's left? My 2011 AirPort Extreme 5th generation router.
I figure, get a new router. I look at all the miniature space ships being sold by other companies and I say no thanks.
I remember hassling with Linksys customer support many years ago. Never again.
Apple still sells the AirPort Extreme 6th generation router and I'm getting one this weekend.

Frankenphone combines (Product)Red iPhone 7 Plus with Jet Black iPhone face
Back to the purpose of the red iPhone 7; it's about (RED) Products or red . org.
Go to their website and a person will see that the colors of this organization are red and white.
The billboards for this organization are red and white.
And naturally almost all the products offered by this organization are red and white.
* And so it makes sense that the red iPhone made for this organization"s fundraising would be red and white.

New Apple 9.7-inch iPad aimed squarely at iPad 2 owners looking to affordably upgrade
irnchriz said:Seems a bit odd if this doesn't have a laminated screen. The Air 1 didn't have a laminated screen and it was far more fragile compared to the Air 2.
The screen on the new iPad is the only negative which would lead me to hesitate getting one.
The screen is not laminated and this new iPad screen doesn't have an antireflective coating.
I would rather get a refurbished Air 2.

Samsung makes good on promise to bring Gear S2, S3, Fit 2 smartwatch compatibility to iOS
Another thing to add is that the rectangular (or square) watch is also traditional. Mechanical watch makers have produced rectangular / square watches for decades.hexclock said:
I agree with your points, and I do like a nice mechanical watch. However, if I want to wear a computer in my wrist, I would rather have a rectangular screen and forego any mechanical aspects.macgui said:It's hard to break new ground on something that's been around for hundreds of years— the mechanical watch.
So it's not surprising that the S3 looks similar to hundreds of other mechanical watches with its pseudo-mech face. A smartwatch in mech-watch's clothing.
I like the look of the Frontier and wish Apple would do something similar. Likely won't happen, or at least not for a long time, but as useful as a smartwatch is, I miss the look of a good-looking analog watch, and a round one at that.
How does its data plan work— like typical phone plan or that of an iPad (month-to month)? Can you order up data and a phone plan OTA on the S3?
I like choice and competition. I'm not surprised at the criticism here of the S3, but am surprised that six posts in and nobody's made a 'blowing off your hand' or similar 'joke'.
- For instance, just Google "rectangular watches", then select "images", and you will see over 100 examples of these kinds of traditional watches.
- An Apple Watch can look like a traditional watch. Take a stainless steel / silver AW, attach it to a decent steel / leather watch band, use a traditional watch face and it will almost pass as a traditional watch. (The only limit being that the screen is not always on but the look is still pretty close to known mechanical watches imo.)
