  • Premium-priced iPhone X, iPhone 8 propel Apple to $88.3B in revenue in its best quarter ev...

    "Any Apple fan knew this was going to be the biggest quarter in their history, I’m glad all the rumours were false! Also good to see the iPad sales increase, and hopefully the same this year once the new Pros are released."

    The rumor from the past week that iPhone unit sales would be lower than projected was in fact true.

  • Apple opens first China data center to comply with country's cybersecurity rules

    Lkrupp said: "In China, if a million people lose their jobs it’s no big deal to the totalitarian government in power."

    On this point you are very mistaken.  The Chinese government fears unemployment and civil disorder more than anything else that could befall them.  That's why they subsidize every failing business in the country.  Chinese history is replete with popular uprisings, and the central government doesn't have the sort of absolute control over the country as most people in the west think.

  • Football fans can stream Super Bowl 51 live with Fox Sports Go on iOS, Apple TV

    The FoxSportsGo app is the worst one for authentication: it has to be done daily.

    And the "live" streams aren't. They have a minimum 30s delay. Much better to watch OTA if possible.
    I agree.  If the Super Bowl is important to you, you won't rely on Fox Sports Go.  I tried watching Cincinnati Reds' games with it last summer and never managed to actually watch a single game, though I tried numerous times.  Authentication didn't work right and I never got more than 30 minutes into a game before I'd get a message saying that technical difficulties prevented continuing with the streaming, please try another time.
