Editorial: Why iPhone drives the future of mobile silicon and Google's Pixel doesn't
TL;DR
People buy iPhone, and not Pixel.

Editorial: 'iPhone 11' design will advance Apple's mobile imaging lead
I'll go one better to say iPhone cameras achieved "good enough" status a while ago, to the point where no one, even those that really value and appreciate the quality we have today, are even remotely interested or motivated by something slightly better.Mikeydangerous said:A few big problems with this argument: just because Apple's cameras are a big selling feature on the iPhone doesn't mean that A) those locked into the Apple ecosystem would leave for a better camera, B.) That having a great camera will automatically draw lots of sales (that's more a product of marketing as evidence by Samsung selling a ton with a great camera, but Google (arguably the best camera) not selling much), and C) That Apple even still has a "mobile imaging lead" as the HL claims. iPhones take the best video, Pixels take the best photos, but none of that even matters once your social network of choice compresses the hell out of the file.

Apple makes iOS 13.1, iPadOS 13.1 developer betas available for testing [u]
While it seems odd, this is not unexpected to me at all. iOS 13.0 is a disaster and since beta 2 I've known that this was going to be a bomb of a release. And clearly they know it, because they are going to move right past 13.0 (never releasing it to the general public) and skip to 13.1 which will be the bare minimum for public consumption.

Editorial: CNBC is still serving up some really bad hot takes on Apple
What I find remarkable about blogs like this, is that on subject you know a lot about (like Apple, and their history, and their day-to-day performance) you can rail against the mainstream media and their outrageous fake news...yet you don't seem to have the faintest clue that this same phony nonsense applies to every single goddamn thing they broadcast.

Apple may not use mechanical switches in a future MacBook keyboard at all
The way Apple has nailed the trackpad by way of force touch is nothing short of magical when you use it, and absolutely earns it’s name as the Magic Trackpad.Basic idea here is that Apple would have the same kind of success with a keyboard, which would be an unbelievable outstanding achievement.
