    I don’t know about you. All these years, I was never influenced by social media to change my vote. And any news that might influence my vote is on main stream media as well.

    I have never gotten any virus on any of my computers the last 20 years. Not sure why people would spend money on anti virus software.

  • AirPods Max review: it's not easy to justify the price

    Best non-biased review I’ve read here in a long time. For a couple hundred more you could get a ________________. I think Apple has lost their way here. While the integration into the Apple ecosystem is great, the price is simply a money grab and an insult to the Apple faithful. 

    I feel as if I’ve read this exact sentence 1976 times. 

    Apple. Losing their way since 1976™ 
    Hyperbole much? He / She is obviously talking about the AirPods Max and not Apple as a company. Apple is not infallible. They have had product failures in their 40+ years as a company.

    I deal with one everyday using the Apple TV. The damn remote, worst design for a remote ever. 

    Apple is not infallible. They generally make good design decisions but when they fail... man those fails are spectacular. Like this purse case.

  • iPhone 12 Pro Max battery smaller than iPhone 11 Pro Max, according to regulatory filing

    Meanwhile Android phones have 4500mah so they can do 5g AND 120hz screen. I just don’t get apple’s priority sometimes.

    Despite claiming to have laser focus, Apple decided to make frivolous halo products like the $1000 monitor stands, $700 wheels, and $500 nano surface... while scrimping on key components. This so called rumor just reinforced what I suspect - Apple is now all about marketing and no longer customer satisfaction. 


    You would be incorrect.

    Apple doesn't have to compete on features alone because it has very little competition from Android OS device makers, all because of it customer satisfaction. Going back years, Apple has almost always been behind in screen size, cameras, arcane features, and lately, 5G. It has almost never been an actual marketing problem, and that's because the iPhone has such a long life cycle, and maintains a high trade in value, that most customers are not worried about whether Apple has the latest and greatest features that Android OS devices have; they can always wait for another release cycle or two for particular features.

    Apple has undisputed reign in SoC's, and because Apple has such a tight integration with its OS variants and hardware, it can work off a very long roadmap of product development. Apple doesn't need to have the very same features at the very same time as Android OS device makers, and will add these as it makes sense in terms of value and ubiquity in the iPhone product line.

    I would leave you with this analysis from Horace Dediu:

    I don’t know if the lack of competition is why Apple is resting on its laurels. But I disagree that most customers are ok with their iPhones lagging their competition. If anything it’s the ecosystem that’s making it hard for people to switch. That said holding your customers hostage in a walled garden is not a sustainable strategy. If Apple doesn’t take back the mantle of innovation or at least keep pace, they’ll continue to lose market share.
