  • Samsung launches Galaxy S9, S9 Plus with greater focus on smartphone photography

    One thing that seems different from past Galaxy is 3 internal storage 64GB/128GB/256GB choices. About Samsung's camera enhancements shouting loud, wait for reliability than few tricks here and there.
    I noticed they’re offering the sweet spot rather than force the upsell. That’s what Apple should do but they never will. Why offer people the internal storage they want when you can get them to pay $100 for more than they need.
    “But they never will” 

    This should be archived for when Apple does it. 

    Wait... could you expound on “sweet spot”? Do you mean the three configurations like apple had last year, or the 64GB minimum like they have this year?

  • Failure of Pixel 2 exposed a larger problem: Google's ads don't work

    What is the purpose of writing a Google bashing article other than it makes some people feel good to knock one of Apple’s competitors? Is there some worry about the iPhone X that AI feels it necessary to trash the Pixel?

    Considering this is an Apple centric site I’d love to see an editorial about, say, Siri and what Apple can and should do to make it better or maybe a discussion on the rumored software changes and how Apple can improve their software processes and quality going forward. Or maybe a piece about what would be good to see software wise in the future for the HomePod. A Siri intent for music and podcasts? The ability to recognize different voices and offer multi user support? These are just a few examples. There are plenty of editorials and pieces about Apple that could generate good discussion. I wish more rumor sites would run  pieces that could generate this kind of discussion. 9to5Mac does on occasion but they seem to be the only one.
    When someone else starts criticizing the shortcomings of Apple’s competition, let me know. Until then, AI is just filling an empty niche. And Apple’s shortcomings are discussed ad nauseum here and elsewhere. That niche is crowded.

  • Samsung to more than halve OLED production due to slow iPhone X demand, Nikkei says

    Hmm... I wonder if Apple purposely exadurated expectations for the iPhone X so Samsung had to prepare to manufacture mass amounts of these displays. Now that they have invested so much into these the production of these displays, they might have to drop the selling price to entice more sales of the screen - meaning Apple can use the parts for a cheaper price, eventually gaining larger margins.

    Just a thought. 
    To do that would be illegal. They said it on a quarterly earnings report. Lying or misrepresenting would result in at least huge fines, if not jail time.

    Fire these jokers and bring in Guy Kawasaki to restore the real Apple spirit.

  • Growing glass crack appears at Michigan Ave. Apple store in Chicago

    andrewj5790andrewj5790
    I would assume that this cannot be repaired on site. I am also confident that these panels are 100% custom and not in stock at Lowes. Probably just lead time to get replacement panel in and then pane properly replaced...thoughts?
    “Apple has all the money in the world, therefore they should be have been able to hire a team of warlocks to conjure unbreakable glass to replace the panel within 5 minutes of the crack appearing. They are evil and greedy however, so this new magical tech will be withheld from the next iPhone.” 

    sincerely,
