Apple aims to achieve net cash balance, hints at investments and M&A
It will be interesting to see how this “cash hoard” will be strategically used.
They’ve had some time to think this through.

Spotify, others complain to EU about Apple's 'unfair' App Store practices
Spotify could’ve developed a line of headphones, partnered with a cell phone manufacturer, or developed content.
Theyre simply a one trick horse, as true innovation requires great risk, flexibility and vision.
Spotify keeps adding market share to a single product with extremely thin margins. If Netflix never developed in-house content, their growth would’ve stagnated and competion increased.
Similar to Amazon prime, Apple will continue to roll new features and content into their service until Spotify‘s house of cards collapses.
Apple has the power and pockets to win the long game on this.

Honor's new View 10 phone brings iPhone X-style Animoji to Android
Apple pursues perfection, not awards for specs that don’t translate directly into an advantage.VRing said:

Can you provide me with a reference that the Kirin 970 neural processing unit is considerably more powerful than Apples Neural Engine?VRing said:
Huawei already announced their system a week or so back, but it's not being used in the V10 (http://winfuture.de/news,100794.html).AppleInsider said:
Huawei and fellow Chinese phonemakers Oppo and Xiaomi are expected to adopt 3D sensors on upcoming 2018 models, following in the footsteps of the iPhone X's TrueDepth camera.
It looks rather similar to Apple's system, no surprise there. It can capture 300,000 points in under 10 seconds (iPhone X does 30,000 points, but in a shorter amount of time). Huawei also claims their system will unlock in 0.4 seconds.
If it works as well as they claim, and that's an "if", then it would seem they're able to catch up to the hardware in a pretty short amount of time. Huawei also has a Neural Processing Unit as part of their Kirin 970 that's considerably more powerful than Apple's Neural Engine in the A11 Bionic, so all that remains is the software.
Kirin 970's NPU offers 1.92 trillion operations per second, Apple's Neural Engine offers 600 billion operations per second. For further comparison, both are well behind Google's PVC in the Pixel 2 / Pixel 2 XL which offers 3 trillion operations per second.
Maybe at 10 trillion operations the phone will become self aware and download iOS...
