    Plenty available on eBay...I see some at $500.

    And you'll be able to get them direct from Apple in time for Christmas...2017. 

    I wonder what really happened here. 
    They've had review units available since September. Users gave them generally favorable reviews. I also saw some in the wild in October while passing by the Apple campus. Low yield and high demand are the likely reason.

    Haha! I hadn't heard about this douchebag before.

    Comparing Apple to Nazis? What is he a liberal or something? :#

    Anyway, I am glad that their stock is crashing and had to be halted.

    Hopefully, it will be reopened soon, so that it can continue to dive.
    I'm a liberal and Apple shareholder. I suspect there are many of us.

  • Apple 'iPhone 7s' rumored to retain iPhone 7 design, debut without wireless charging

    Nothing says this will be an either/or. There could well be an iPhone 8, with the 7s being the 2nd-tier offering. Apple has done something similar in the past.
    Agreed. I'd be surprised if the only thing on the iPhone docket for next year is an SoC update and a new color.  Apple would get crucified in terms of mindshare if that's all they did for next year. I'm more inclined to think that Apple will pull a page out of its Watch playbook: 1) It will update the iPhone 7 / 7 Plus to the A11 SoC processor and 2) There will be a brand new iPhone (iPhone 8?) with completely new design, OLED, wireless charging, etc.
    Probably no iPhone 8 in 2017: http://daringfireball.net/2016/10/iphone_edition
    The linked article refutes the prospect of an iPhone edition (ie an identical phone using novel materials like ceramic). It does not rule out a high end version featuring a new design. It practice it would look like iPhone 7s and a iPhone 8.

     A bunch of Chinese iPhone knock offs are fighting Apple so they have a hard time making the real iPhone? 
     These scumbags have no shame.
     The US should have stopped these knockoff manufacturers from stealing American technology and selling them on American soil. 

     I'd like to see Apple invest in a new screen technology exclusive to their devices or license to televisions but not knockoff devices. 

     The last paragraph of the article provides the usual fuel for android users. If Apple does invent true wireless charging you'll have idiots saying "X phone had it first". Even if X phone uses different tech and no one(including the idiot) use X phone. 
    They're securing scarce components for future production - not fighting Apple. Supply chain management 101.

  • Apple to halve App Store fees for content providers integrated with new 'TV' app, report says

    levilevi
    Yes, time to get serious about TV content. Give us an alternative to standard cable or Sling, and sell those boxes (and services). By the way, Risk on Apple TV is fantastic
