  • Apple hits back at DOJ antitrust suit paragraph by paragraph in scathing response

    9secondkox29secondkox2
    The DOJ suit is ridiculous. Good on Apple to fight. 

    Now if only Apple Would show this kind of backbone with the EU…

  • No India tariff deal means Apple will face iPhone import fees eight times higher than befo...

    9secondkox29secondkox2
    8x? Last I checked 25% from 10% is 2.5X. And we don't know the minutiae. So if that sticks, I doubt it's going to be some crazy trouble for apple. The president is pretty good at this stuff. I'll wait for more concrete news to break regarding the details on this before reacting. but from what I have seen so far, including with the UK. Trump is doing great things with these trade deals. We wanted fair balance. And so far, we are getting it and then some. Looking forward to see how India responds.

    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.
