    yeah... I don't think apple's goalposts are what other's goals are. Apple isn't worried about getting it to be thin, etc. Apple isn't looking to solve the problems with someone else's product. 

    Apple wants it to have a reason to exist beyond... "Dude, it folds."

    When it makes sense for the category and when It is every bit as reliable as the current, solid bar iPhone, and when it adds something worthwhile to the phone, Apple will release such a thing.

    Currently, Apple hasn't seen the need ro benefit. I have to agree.

    That's not to say next year won't be a different story. Perhaps it will. But when Apple actually goes in that direction, it will be don't in such a way as to be plain common sense. it could be that Appel has an entirely different idea in mind than another flip phone with a flexible screen. 
    How about "iPad Mini in your pocket" ?

    Being an iPhone user for freakin' 18 years, this is the first time I ditch iPhone 15 Pro Max for Oppo Find N5. It's a game changer dude. It is as thin as the latest Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7. Pick one up and you'll feel that long lost feeling again.
    LOL. I’m other words: “Dude… it folds.”

    yeah, no thanks. I have an iPad. And an iPhone. They don’t fold and they’re the better for it. In fact, I still have my original 2007 iPhone. And it still works. Such a thing will not be said about the oppo whatever it’s called. 

    I’ve checked out the Samsung folding phones. Ine just feels like it’s going to break well before it’s time. And the other folds in such a way as to be a total waste as you end up with either a tall phone screen, or a little square. That’s not an iPad in your pocket. That’s just a waste of a foldable screen. 

    Apple has a lock on what makes a top quality smartphone. That’s why everyone else rushed to all these gimmicks. Without them, they couldn’t stand out. 

    If and when Apple does such a thing, a reason for it to exist along with a way to make it solidly reliable for many years will have been discovered. 

    Until then, I’ll be happy to observe the other guys build the Frankenstein phones. But I’ll BUY the Apple one.

  • Epic Games is annoyed UK regulator isn't working harder to enable third-party app stores

    Hee, all of a sudden, breaching contract doesn’t seem like such a great idea, eh Sween? 

    The UK knows it’s walking on eggshells now. So the Sweens strategic partners in crime are not the sure bet they once were. 

    Good luck with that, Timmy.

  • Apple's Epic gamble: birthright citizenship ruling cited to overturn antisteering mandate

    I am guessing it won't work. Comparing people/citizenship and App Store developers will probably reference the famous case Apples vs. Oranges.

     
    It’s not comparing people/citizenship with business moves. It’s challenging the limits of a 9th circuit district judge’s jurisdiction -something the Supreme Court established via a case involving birthright citizenship. This effectively eliminated district judges from issuing nationwide injunctions. Full stop. Actually, these limitations always existed, but rogue judges pretended they had more power than they do. The Supreme Court basically ensured they follow protocol from now on. 

    Apple will likely win this. If the 9th circuit fights, it will end up at the Supreme Court, which will likely rule in Apple’s favor within 5 minutes based on recent established clarification from said court. 

    Nice to see Apple finding its backbone again.

  • One of these three Apple executives will probably be Tim Cook's replacement

    9secondkox29secondkox2
    It’s going to be Greg, barring any major shakeups from this point forward. 

    Would be weird seeing two twin CEOs in Khan and Nadella. But the memes would die down after a bit. 

    Still not sure what Khan actually brings to the table. 

    Williams retired, so there was a hole that needed filling. Will it be a musical chairs thing? Or is Khan a sort of secret weapon?

    with Cook, it was and had been obvious for a while - at least to those on the inside. 

    Outside of Williams or Joz, hadn’t really gotten anywhere near that same kind of pulse. 

    Whoever steps into that role, dang. Tough double act to follow.
