  • Editorial: Why Microsoft Surface isn't growing after seven years of trying

    Note: All of these unit sales comparisons suffer from the same inherent flaw:
    If you want to use the Mac or iOS operating system you have a single source with a very limited selection. Every Apple OS user will be buying from that single source even if distributed via a few retail partners. Every sale of product will be recorded by Apple. Some people will simply accept the feature or form limitations offered thru that small selection of products (relatively speaking) in order to use their preferred OS.

    Obviously the same restrictions don't apply to Microsoft's OS (or Android for that matter). thousands of variations and builds and form factors with only the OS they rely on being the common thread. Product sales will be recognized by who knows how many different OEM's. Don't like the Surface keyboard or memory options or form factor or price? There's options from not-Microsoft companies that might be more pleasing, no need to accept any limitations beyond those flowing from the OS itself. Pick and choose the specific unit from whatever company you think matches best with your wants/needs.

    Otherwise the typical creatively written DED article. I love his way with words, excellent stuff. 
    He specifically talked about The Surface whose specs are singularly controlled by Microsoft to match up with what is done at Apple. It is an excellent article.
    Sure he did. If iOS were available on devices from other OEM's Apple's iPad numbers would not be as lofty, maybe not even impressive if there were dozens of competitors on the platform.
    No doubt Panos Panay has Apple envy but I doubt Microsoft is really invested in growing Surface too much. Don’t want to piss off HP/Dell/Lenovo etc.

  • Apple ramping up iPhone 11 assembly, cutting iPhone 11 Max orders

    The fact that the 11 is cheaper than the XR was (with no reduction in hardware/features) and Apple is still pushing trade ins hard tells us the company knows consumers are becoming price sensitive as the phones get more expensive.

    DED has been on a roll the last few days.

    If you aren't Apple, you are crap!
    That’s why his editorials are so boring to read. They’re all the same. And often times they come across a projection. If Apple really was the best why would DED be spending so much time obsessing over and knocking down the competition? Because it makes some posters here feel good?

    There’s plenty to criticize American companies for over China. And privacy is important. But sometimes I swear people are wearing tinfoil hats. Honestly if you’re that worried you’re being tracked then all you can do is get off the internet.

    Apple is for human rights so long as it doesn’t impact the company’s bottom line. Samsung has moved most if not all of their manufacturing out of China. Apple needs to do the same.
