    This is a newly granted patent. Read yesterday in Apple News. Check patentlyapple.com.

  • iPhone's global marketshare dips to 10.1% amid rise of Samsung & Chinese brands

    That signifies nothing. Just noise without signal. Unlike other brands whose only achievement is a smartphone, Apple has many products that sell, such as iPad, Watch, AirPods and certainly Mac. I’am the one who caused iPhone’s marketshare to shrink by one for example, this year instead of updating my iPhone 8+ to an XR with good trade-in value, I purchased Watch 4, 10.5” iPad Air and a Pencil without any trade-in. Put the blame on me for shrinking iPhone’s market share...

  • Apple's iPhone sales down 13% in Q3, accounts for less than half of total revenues

    macplusplusmacplusplus
    2018 was a boom year thanks to the newly introduced iPhone X. We’ve seen that before with the release of iPhone 6. It is natural that sales normalize the following year. This is nothing more than a normalization, or even if there is a drop on a relative base after adjusting for the 2018 boom, it may not be as much as that.

  • Apple earns $53.8B in revenue in record-setting third quarter

    macplusplusmacplusplus
    A quick glance at the last graph (iPhone) shows that Q3 is half of Q1 in both 2018 and 2019. Actually this is a good thing for Q3, It didn’t go below (Q1)/2. B) 

    2018 Q1 points to a boom created by the newly introduced X. It is natural that sales normalize the following year since the next model is being taken as incremental.

    Whatever, I can’t see in that graph anything that would alert Apple to significantly modify the current iPhone product range. That drop (if real) can be compensated by routine sales and marketing mechanisms.

  • What Apple's T2 chip does in your new MacBook Air or MacBook Pro

    Everyone loves their T2 until they need to boot from external media. And you will. You will... I like security, but I like *ME* deciding what level of security I want or need, not Apple. If I like sleeping with my windows open is my choice. I don't want anyone saying to me 'dude close your windows, you might get robbed' or even worse, someone actually nailing my windows shut and saying 'it is not safe to have windows at your house, screw you.'.
    And I'm sorry, as a third party repair business owner... we have already encounter issues with the t2 chip... why the hell should it prevent us from replacing a keyboard?? A speaker? Its ridiculous and Apple is going to get their asses sued off under the Right To Repair movement!
    No jurisdiction, no law can force a company to sell its products in a disassembled form. That would destroy the market economy and is not possible even in China !
