  • Apple TV+ may bundle with Paramount+ to cut subscriber losses

    Still think Apple getting into streaming TV was a mistake and this may be pointing to a future "I told you so" moment.

    If Apple wants to get serious they could buy the company that owns Paramount and get a huge library of Viacom, CBS and Paramount content. The CBS television network which includes a news division and a sports division. A laundry list of channels. The Pluto ad supported streaming service.

    The collection of satellite/cable channels cover children, music, sports, comedy and much more.
    By ownership of CBS they get a significant package of College & NFL Football, College Basketball to include March Madness and other sports properties.  

    Paramount is controlled by a private company called National Amusements that could likely be bought for pocket change. The public shares are currently less than $10 Billion, so it would be an easy pickup if Apple wants to go there.  

    Paramount would do much better without the meddlesome Redstone family.
    So,  this is the solution and business plan for Apple - take the money being made from iPhones and just buy every company they want?  No thanks.  Is it good for consumers if Apple is just allowed to continue “taking over everything” to look like it’s actually doing something on it’s own?  No,  if Apple wants to be in streaming space and many other things, it should prove that it is great by doing many things on it’s own.  I am an Apple fan but i am concerned about this continuing buying of companies.  Why can’t Apple do most things inhouse and prove it’s greatness? It’s scary.  Where is fair play for anybody else that wants to be in business?

  • Apple insists 8GB unified memory equals 16GB regular RAM

    My understanding is that RAM memory is 5 to 10 times faster than SSD storage.  Always invest in 16gb or better if you can when buying a new computer.

    Every iPhone  generation, we are told the glass is stronger than the one before it
    But every generation breaks just the same when you drop it 
    so what's the benefit of gorilla glass super duper +?
    Indeed,  hope the advertising is legitimate.

    “Apple is very much a fashion brand” 

    ??????    What ?
    Apple is totally a fashion brand. Its designs speak for themselves as a fashion statement. Even a Mac sitting on a table is I'd say the most elegant looking computer on the market today. Every Mac looks high end now matter how expensive it is. 
    I do not share your belief.  Apple is a great electronics company and certainly a luxury brand.  But,  a fashion company is about what is offered for a person to wear.  Apple does not make luxury clothing as far as i know.
