  • Apple unveils second Osaka store ahead of its opening

    nubusnubus
    24 years of Apple Store openings and the distribution of stores continues to puzzle me as it doesn't relate to population. California is 1 store per 740k. Japan 1 per 11 million. UK is 1 per 1.7 million. China is 1 per 51 million. Africa continues to have zero stores. Not even in Cairo or Johannesburg. 

    Differences in GDP can't explain all of it. What is going on?

  • UK announces plans to further regulate Apple and Google

    nubusnubus
    There has to be governmental regulation, and it has to have some teeth or tech companies wield too much power over an entire population and economy. We now live in a world where companies wield more power than governments.

    The comment from Google sums up the problem - “regulation can’t get in the way of growth”… so we should put froth before the wellbeing users?
    Fully agree. Regulation can force companies to stay out of the sewer as clearly they're not capable of doing so on their own.

    Case: Regulation on forced labor was too much for Apple and the company lobbied against it. Lobbying against forced labor! Cook is no Schindler - he is just going for profit at any human cost. Not that Alphabet is any better.

    A bit of regulation seems to be in order.

  • One of these three Apple executives will probably be Tim Cook's replacement

    Federighi and Ternus! Product people. No trail of lost legal cases. Right age. Super smart.

    Cue is too old and so many (lost) legal battles. Joswiak “oh so Pro” - Apple need product before marketing - no Sculley II. Deidre and her Office Only policy: She should go meet Zuckerberg at a Coldplay concert.

  • iPhone 17 Air rumored to shrink battery & lean on iOS 26 to keep up

    nubusnubus
    Perhaps Air was designed before AI workloads? Reviews will show.

  • AirPods face slowing growth as Apple eyes ways to expand sales

    nubusnubus
    A 40% attach rate is fantastic. How to improve? Sell more iPhones! It will make people buy AirPods (not only Pro) and services. Lowering the entry point is IMHO key and 16e is too expensive. Think like Gillette and get more units out.
