  • Apple wants major newspapers to join new subscription service

    I for one would be glad to have Apple curate what news I can access, just like they curate which apps I can use and which music I can listen to. Bravo!

    This has to be a troll account.

  • Huawei again estimated to have overtaken Apple as world's No. 2 smartphone vendor

    Duh, when you're talking unit numbers, penny candy will always outsell boxes of See's or Purdy's. People may dream of a Ferrari or Mercedes, but more Kia's are actually sold. Cheap crap always outsells high priced quality.

    So is the iPhone SE cheap crap? The car I drive is not a Mercedes or BMW but it’s certainly not cheap crap. I’ve had it for almost 6 years and have had zero issues with it. Just because something doesn’t cost a lot doesn’t mean it’s cheap crap.
    By an amazing coincidence I own an iPhone SE. No it's not cheap crap, it's just the smallest iPhone, but it still was between five and six hundred dollars. A guy I work with loves his LG phone. It cost a couple hundred bucks. He's on his third one since I started working with him five years ago. He doesn't break them, they just stop working. I've had my SE for around two and a half years, and barring accident I expect to get another couple years out of it. That's the difference between cheap crap and quality.

    (Oh and for the record I have a 13 year old Toyota Prius. It's not cheap crap either.)
    I recently had to replace my iPad Pro because of light leakage in the display that kept getting worse. The replacement I got works great for the most part but sometimes the display is unresponsive and I’m not able to scroll or tap anything. I spent over $1000 on this product. I also recently had my Apple Watch replaced. The screen just popped off one day because the battery expanded. I know I’m not the only one it’s happened to.

  • New HomePod, 'AirPods 2,' death of 3D Touch all expected in 2019

    More controversially, it is "widely understood" by the supply chain that the iPhone lineup in the fall of 2019 will lack 3D Touch. Barclays notes that the plans are not finalized, so the feature may appear, and it may not. It isn't clear why a future iPhone would lack the feature, given that it works fine on the iPhone X.
    Bullshit. Can you guys please stop reporting every thought some sell side analyst vomits out? Apple suppliers aren’t going to leak plans to Wall Street analysts (and that’s assuming they even know what those plans are).
    I don't feel like you read the article.
    Sure I did. Apple may get rid of 3D Touch, they may not. How is that newsworthy. Nothing in this note seems anything more than pure speculation.

    These next two weeks are going to be flooded with “rumors”. Every Wall Street firm will be vomiting out all kinds of BS that they claim came from the supply chain. And no doubt as soon as the new phones are announced we’ll get all kinds of “rumors” about the 2019 phones, most of which will turn out to be complete BS.
