  • Samsung rumored offering foldable display samples to Apple for future iPhones

    macplusplusmacplusplus
    OK Samsung invented or produced the flexible OLED and they are looking for a problem to sell their solution. A phone is the wrong problem to that solution: where will the folding display go, inside or outside? If it goes outside like Huawei's then there is a durability problem, scratches, drops etc. If it goes inside like Samsung's then there is a usability problem, one cannot use it without opening first.

    The conceptual Knowledge Navigator had the display "inside" but that was a computer just like all laptops which have their "folding" displays "inside". So that folding display can only be useful on a laptop or a tablet, a device that has to be used in "open" mode.

    Do not hold your breath. I saw one in use in an Apple Store to transfer the customer's Android phone data to the iPhone.

    5 nanometers ...  Sheesh!  I am getting flashbacks to computer RAM stated in kilobytes.  How long before we see picometers used?  
    I’am not an electrical engineer. What happens after 1 nanometer chip designs?
    Most probably one won’t reach that point because of quantum tunneling: electrons jumping deliberately among transistors or something like that...

    She’s great and did a great job, but these execs are obscenely overpaid.
    I noticed that when people hear how much someone is paid especially when they know nothing about the experience and expertise needed for that job they say they are over paid. Apple as all big corporations doesn't fill important positions like this one with rookies. Apple paid her the amount which was justified by that field of work. None of the negative comments here come from anyone that has held a high position in the fashion or the tech industries, but go ahead and feel jealous if it makes you feel better. 
    I am holding the highest position in both fashion and tech industries: I am the customer !

    Sales down retail chief out... Nothing unusual.

    And sales would never go up in the presence of such anecdotes I resume below:

    Customer goes to the Apple Store and says that she wants to buy Watch 4, by stating the specs. The most common model, €459, nothing to create confusion.

    Instead of bringing the box and proceeding to checkout, the personnel simply push the customer to wait in line for... presentation !!!

    wtf... WTF ???!!!

    Customer patiently waits, then tries again to explain that she doesn’t need a Watch presentation because she already wears one as seen on her wrist and she just wants to buy the product and walk by... The situation resolves with happy ending after an elder woman accompanying her finally starts yelling and exposes all of her dispute experience.

    Happens in a metropolitan European Apple Store.

    That patronizing attitude against the customer reveals how wrong a culture has been implemented in recent years on Apple retail.
