  • Man causes explosion in Chinese electronics store by biting replacement iPhone battery

    Probably part of a plot by Samsung to pay mentally unstable people to create an artificial Batterygate for Apple. Especially now we know it can be done without lethal consequences

  • Ireland's plans for Apple to pay $15.9B in back taxes may be delayed until Q2 2018

    LOL. Keep those delays coming! And in the meantime, prepare for Irexit.
    Why would they exit? The UK at least has a large enough domestic economy to keep them going but Ireland would lose all of these international companies the moment Ireland left. Ireland was a total backwater before it joined the EU. Or perhaps you think they'll join the UK?

  • Apple shipping delays higher under Tim Cook than Steve Jobs, data finds

    There are plenty of explanations for this - the company is much bigger and therefore more complex, there are more leaks so secrecy makes no sense, and perhaps they've become more relaxed about sometimes letting the market know what they are working on because the competition has improved in the last ten years.

  • Google releases tool that helps security researchers hack iOS devices

    I find it appalling that a company with a product like Android that has the largest security problems in the industry and the largest number of exposed users would focus any resources on finding ways to hack a competitor and partner for search and other services. Then to release them and put my devices at risk like they leave there’s is irresponsible!  This is why I don’t use them for anything. They can not be trusted. Period!

     
    You know that a large part of their mobile revenue comes from iOS right? They aren't just a competitor but also a partner. Look at the most popular iOS apps - plenty of them are from Google. Of course they want to push security forward, on their platform and on that of their partners.

  • Foxconn puts halt to illegal overtime at iPhone X plant

    I understand the critique of Apple and Foxconn, but at the same time one can only imagine the workplace violations going on in some out of view toaster oven factory supplying brands that sell for razor-thin markups in Walmart and other US and international retailers.  Where’s the indignity and shame in those cases?  It’s disingenuous to judge and castigate Apple and Foxconn while turning a blind eye to what most assuredly goes on in a large number of third-world workplaces.  You should see the conditions I witness here in the Philippines, which here is just a matter of normal existence.  
    Hopefully on WalmartInsider, people are holding them to account for any unethical practices too. It's no surprise that the largest companies are the first targets and once they shift, the rest of the world does too.
