I get like 80mbps on AT&T where I live.
Literally NOBODY is getting 450mbps+ anywhere.
I've never seen a more bullshit article. 

450 is the max,  not the expected or average.  Look at the graph posted in the article.  Shows the iPhones getting ~2.5mbps and the Galaxy getting ~4.5mbps

Then what is the point of a non-related graph to the story?  Why claim 450 vs 600 and show a graph that only goes to a tenth of that?  Another indication of a pointless story.

Was just about to commend the speeds 450 Mbps on cellular would be crazy fast, what's the point of Apple's continued efforts to achieve such high speeds when no one can diliver them anywhere it's spec vanity isn't it ? Just toying with everyone it's cruel

Most specialized Texbooks are $200+.
Coffee table books are always quite expensive too.

Most people .talking about this have no clue and are not the target audience for this.
They probably never bought a book over $30..

Man, Colbert's show is now a piece of shit.

So... Apple is in the textbook business now? Or the coffee table book business? 

The Mac Pro is too niche to bother updating, but the opportunities in the coffee table book industry are worth pursuing? 

The issue here is that this book is a giant waste of time for any Apple employee with any meaningful responsibility for anything (like, for example, Jony Ive). It's vanity, it's navel gazing, it's a distraction. It's not something that a person focused on changing the world would do. It's something to do at the end of a career, or it's something to outsource. 

If this is how Ive wants to spend his time these days he should really just retire, or maybe become an advisor. Let someone else step into the role of lead designer. 

Well put, people are so quick to refer to the state of things as they were as if the present is rosy and enjoy bringing up the faults of the low class who usually criticize copy or hate Apple and justify anything Apple does which isn't the question. I love the book idea it's great, but now ? Really amidst everything ? Anything Apple does is godly if compered to every other vendor, but Apple isn't measured against MS or Sammy its measured against Apple, people using Apple have been doing so for years so each new iteration is mesured against the previous vesion and never in those years has there ever been questions about who by fare makes the best, cares the most, and is at the very cutting edge of technology, that was always a previlladge Apple fans held with out question and for that Apple enjoyed the most loyal fan base of any company in history and gaine untold riches, jony is just a man and Apple is many such man and no matter how in denial we may all myself included no one is good forevere no ability of creativity of any man is inexhaustible.

Why on earth did Apple make a Jony Ive video for this of all things ? Bad enough that they're showing every body how at ease and relaxed with no care in the world every body at Apple is, like, everything is coming up Apple, as an Apple fan I could more than appreciate something like that, but now Apple ? Really ? Didn't one person think " hey our reputation and image as the leading innovation and design company in the world is taking a hit lets postpone the book till after I don't know the iPhone 8 event after reminding everyone who runs shit just to rub it in the face of the competition" ? Watching the video I kept thinking he's talking about a book like its technology, if I wasn't a fan of these guys I find this so snobbishly pompous and comedic I'd laugh, this thing would have been so perfectly timed right after the iPhone 8 when Apple has re earned the right to boast, IMHO, but oh well

Serious question: Why would it cost more to make iPhones with robots in the USA than it would in China?

I was thinking the same. I don't believe it will cost more. Might actually cost less because of shipping

Each robot would cost on average $35k and more on maintenance adding more complexity to the manufacturing process, things break. Offcause all those are non issues to the world's most richest company the real problem is that iPhone internals aren't designed to clic together like logo bricks, it's just too hard at the moment for a robot to reliably replicate the dexterity of the human hand

Sog35 some simple concepts for you to consider, NEITHER YOU NORE ANY PERSON HERE OR ANYWHERE ELS ON THE NET HAS THE SLIGHTEST POWER TO FIRE TIM COOK, IF THE APPLE BOARD DON'T WISH IT SO, COMPLAINING HERE IS FUTILE AND A GREAT ANNOYANCE TO 90-95% OF US HERE
