Even with Apples inflated parts cost, the camera replacement example illustrates just how outrageous Apples standard repair pricing is.

I have been saying that Apple should acquire Blackmagic for a while now. The benefits would be outstanding and Apple has more than enough cash to make it happen. Does anyone know what they’re worth? 

Good lord, I hope not - Apple would close down resolve which is a wonderful NLE. Apple had industry standard solutions like FCP7 and Shake, then junked them overnight. FCPX has almost zero penetration in Hollywood projects, which is not to say that it’s terrible or unusable, but I don’t see how it overcomes the momentum that Resolve has generated in just a few years. I still think the letter these folks wrote is somewhat odd, but does raise questions about the future of FCPX.

I’m not sure what this letter seeks to do. I have Final Cut Pro but rarely use it, most of my work uses Resolve, which has become what FCP7 used to be before Apple totally abandoned it. I wouldn’t bet the farm that Apple won’t sell it off to a third party.

It’s a bargain starting point. One of the wealthiest companies in the world should be able to afford a decent salary, and not have employees wait in security lines in their own time.

He attached an Apple Watch to the spokes of one of the cars 4 wheels? Wouldn’t that feel obvious when driving by an unbalanced wheel - plus a good chance the Apple Watch would come flying off?
