That would be nice too catch up on the screen technology of 2014 and keep up with the amount of ram the others have been using since 2012

Not a bright comment at all.  Battery life and performance are key, so using less ram, with a more efficient OS gives you better performance and battery life.  Android needing more ram is a PROBLEM with android, not a feature.

Also, Just because some people shipped some devices with OLED in 2014, and got really sub par performance, does not mean that Apple is behind.  Apple's screens are far superior than most, so they go to gimmicks like OLED before its ready.

Takes time for technology to develop to the level of quality Apple desires, and usually Apple is developing a solution of its own that is superior.  When OLED is there, and Apple adopts it, it will be leading the way.

You android fans just have to retcon the whole world to avoid embarrassment for buying a crappy counterfiet iPhone when you could have had the real thing.

I want to release my own rumor, that I just came up with.

Apple will release the "iPhone Retro".
It will be a cube with a rounded CRT screen and the resolution will be reduced to blurred 640x480 pixels and the refresh rate will be interlaced 30 frames/sec so it will always flicker. Noise and static will be added every few seconds until you move it around just right to clear up the picture.

This just in from the wires-- due to Tim Cook failing at being Steve Jobs, the iPhone Retro has been cancelled in yet another blow to the beleaguered company.  Despite having never been announced ,rumors out of the orient says that Apple really was going to make them, and planned to sell them this fall.  Who knows what they will find to replace it.  Apple stock is down %0.34 on the news.

Rumor mongers need to get a clue.  It's like you and MxxRumorx.com don't understand the industry.

Apple designs and builds multiple models that are candidates for the phones it releases.


It didn't "cancel" a pro version this year, it just built multiple models in case it has to fall back due to a component being delayed.

When it knows what it can ship at volume and quality, that's what it decides as the model configurations.

Apple still has 90+% of the profits.

More like %110 I think.  Many of these "competitors" are running at a loss on their phone divisions.   Android is a total losing scene for google, they have lost Billions.  How much has Microsoft lost?  Can we amortize the Nokia acquisition?  The loss per phone for that %0.6 market share has to be astounding. $100k per phone?

This is the same kind of bullshit "data" we had to deal with in the 1990s when Macs were %25 of consumer desktops and these BS artists were claiming Windows had %97 marketshare-- in part by not counting most mac sales.

All, and I mean effing ALL of these android numbers are simply MADE UP.

Only Apple reports actual sales.  The rest are mostly feature phone sales.


Why does Apple Insider print known false anti-apple propaganda as fact?

This has been going on for decades now.  There is no excuse.
