  • Apple demands specially-certified chips & factories for HomeKit devices, report says

    It's all about security. If you want your home hacked (locks, garage doors, routers, thermostats, etc)  then buy anything out there. Apple is trying to establish a model that at least lessens the chance of security breach - yes they make money doing it, but they also provide quality assurance and peace of mind to the customer. I do not see a correlation between a large factory that makes Star Wars toys and a factory having a proven capability of producing secure IOT chips and devices for home automation.
    Exactly! And that's a reason I have an iPhone. I'm not bringing a product home that may have god knows what in it to keep over my home. I mean we've seen blank USB dongles with malware same with other devices. Apple at least "trying" to protect me is a huge plus. iOS alone is a huge plus.

  • Report claims Apple Music pays more to record labels in royalties per stream than Spotify

    If this is verified good for Apple and I will swiftly cancel my subscription to Spotify and switch over to Apple Music.

  • Apple rumored to introduce 5" 'iPhone 7s' in 2017 with vertical dual-lens array

    qwweraqwwera
    I'm going to guess there will not be anything other than 7s variants. 
    Whatever the supposed oled 8 was supposed to be is NOT going to be ready. And like this time last year when it was becoming apparent that the 7 would be a 6 variant, that's not necessarily a bad thing. Rushing a product that's not ready can blow up in people's face. Literally.

    Not only that, I love my 7 and SE. I'm glad I skipped the ugly 6 series. Looking at my 5S the 6 series always felt like a downgrade. 
    A 7s would not be the worst thing in the world. It's not like a junky Pixel or S8 would take the spotlight and take sales. 

    A 7s is a perfectly fine 2017 iPhone.

  • After a VR-free year from Apple, VR headsets deemed "the biggest loser" of 2016

    qwweraqwwera
    No doubt VR will become a ubiquitous platform, for industry and fun. But to become a mass market consumer  hit, it's not there yet.

    And then it's about the application. It needs hit tittle. That's the hard part. It's one thing making a gadget/platform, it's another creating that certain zeitgeist game no one can predict that will take it to the next level.
    When and who will the masses gravitate to? Who the hell knows.

    Apple is doing right by staying on the sidelines. As long as their devices can play the hit software titles when and if there is one.
