  • Apple researching how to add a Touch Bar to the side of an iPhone

    Does it kind of go against the idea of simplicity which Apple is famous for?

  • iPhone 15 Pro Max demand outselling supply, says Goldman Sachs

    [...]

    It could be true,  but it seems like the production run for the 4 models would need to be equal to base that on? Or i’m missing something ? But Apple does not release such information? It seems the regular 15 looks like a really nice phone too.

    I like the idea of a natural titanium color. 
    Same— just really not crazy about the large camera bumps/profile. But I know I’m in the minority. Giving serious consideration to switching to the next mini

    I am with you, but I highly doubt there will be another mini.  And even if there is one, it won't be in premium materials like stainless steel or titanium.
    Correct,  there will never be another “mini”.  However,  it is highly likely there will be smaller sized phone in a future SE.   In my opinion the name mini was a terrible choice for a smaller iphone.  It was a strategic error that mighty Apple has made.  I would say that right to Timmy Cook’s face if he was in feont of me.  A better name probably would have been iphone Lite for example.  Using the name mini implies something inferior, small or lacking.  Now,  on the reverse we have the possible name iphone Ultra -  that implies something great and desirable, whether it really is or not - LOL.  What great marketing hype the word Ultra generates.   Many people will think they need an ultra iphone when reality is the base model does nearly everything they really would want and costs less.  By the way,  anybody who values true one hand use of phone knows how great the ill fated mini really is.  Lol. I think Steve Jobs favored the use of phone easy to hold and use with one hand.

  • Apple TV+ reveals 'The Buccaneers' to stream from November

    Is the cursing really necessary in some of these comments?   It’s giving the forum an amateur look.

  • Apple edges out Wall Street, with weak iPhone sales saved by Services surge

    Could it be that people are iPhone saturated and people aren’t dying to get one? Pure conjecture but this could be a consideration. 
    Yes that is absolutely correct.  Gone are the days of standing in line outside a store on launch day to get an iPhone.  Yes , it could be argued that people now sit online waiting to order,  but really that is not the same if you know what i mean.  There will be a percentage of people who “must” upgrade every year but i think that number is dwindling.  But how can we know,  because Apple will not release sales numbers of products LOL !
