  • Netflix CEO says Apple Vision Pro market is too insignificant to bother with

    dewme said: The Netflix CEO is pretty much at the same place that many of us are at with Vision Pro - "we'll see where things go" which means we will wait and see. I'm waiting too. The big difference is we're all waiting because there is about $4K of our hard earned cash on the line and we don't really know for sure how this thing will fit into our lives other than the gee-whiz and oh-wow factor
    If you know how an 100" 4K OLED TV would fit into your life then you already know how the AVP would fit. And you would be saving multiple thousands of dollars by getting the AVP instead of the TV. 
    By purchasing an AVP for each of your family members. /s

  • Apple to sell Apple Watch with blood oxygen detection removed to bypass ITC import ban

    elijahg said:
    Apple is being absurd. The amount they will lose in sales likely amounts to more than the amount they'd have to pay to license the patents especially if you include the legal fees. They'd rather jilt their own customers than pay a fee for what appears to be a fairly cut-and-dry case - and in the future potentially sell watches with sub-par blood oxygen detection because they don't want to pay. I wonder if the non-blood oxygen watches will have the feature switched back on if Apple pays in the future, or if Apple can come up with a software workaround?

    They rightfully got royally pissed off that Samsung ripped off the early iPhones so blatantly, but when they rip off someone else it's fine?

    I have lost respect for Apple over this.

  • iPhone 17 Pro will get TSMC's first 2nm chips

    blastdoor said:
    I wonder how Samsung is doing in the alternate universe in which they did not lose apple as a foundry customer. My guess: much better than in this universe. Was it really worth losing apple’s foundry business just to sell a few more iPhone knock off smartphones, Sammy?

    Same for Intel. Imagine if Intel had agreed to fab the SOC for iPhone. 
    Are you implying that Samsung being in smartphones business is the primary reason for Apple choosing TSMC as the foundry for their SoCs? But that is not an issue for Apple choosing to get other components (display being the major one) from the same Samsung anyways. And that Samsung would have made more money by abandoning their entire smartphone portfolio just to please Apple for the foundry side of their business???

    I usually enjoy reading your posts, but this must be the most insane post I have ever read from you. What were you smoking when you made that post?

  • Folding displays for iPhone & MacBook Pro are the focuses of a new Samsung business group

    All of the folding phones from the knockoff brands are junk, for sure. That being said, I won’t make a pre-determination about a potential Apple product, because I know their implementation and value proposition will not be the same as the knockoffs’. Same story we’ve seen time again — not first, definitely best.
    You’re so insufferable! 
    I don't agree with you on this. @StrangeDays has mellowed down significantly in his posts/replies to posts in the last couple of years. Prior to that, any criticism against Apple would be met with an ultra aggressive response from him. That is not the case in the last couple of years. His responses have become lot more polite (when compared to his earlier posts) and restrained. Kudos to him for that change. You may not like some of the choices of his words (I assume the usage of the word "knockoff" triggered you in this case), but they are not insufferable by any means. Even this post seems pretty reasonable to me (this forum is AppleInsider not AndroidInsider, isn't it?), unlike others in this thread who dismiss the foldable phone concept even today.

  • Apple highlights the 2023 top App Store apps and games

    Looking at the top free iPhone apps from 4 to 10, do the people in this forum still believe that "Privacy" is a feature that is being actively used by the majority of the iPhone users? For those users who do value and use the Privacy feature, iPhone is the only option and there is simply no alterative option available to them.

    Those who don't value their privacy (and looking at the top app usage, it seems to be a huge percentage of iPhone users fall into this category) - Wouldn't those users be better off financially by buying an Android phone at a much lower cost if they are NOT going to use the most-important differentiating feature from the other OS (except probably the niche users playing high-end games in their iphones)?
