  • From Animoji to TestFlight: Apple's four WWDC images are bursting with app icons

    The whole idea of bringing iOS to MacOS doesn’t help anybody any further without Touch on the Mac. The best of both worlds doesn’t come with tying a garden hose to a magnetron, Phil.

  • Apple suppliers reportedly primed for mass production of next-generation iPad and AirPods

    There must be warehouses full of existing frames and mere regular components. Restore the production lines and put the motherboards with the faster chip in it. Done.

  • iPhone interest in China going 'from bad to worse,' hitting suppliers

    LatkoLatko
    This puts China in a precarious situation. Ultimately, they hurt themselves since lower sales will also affect manufacturing output which is what we are seeing now with other companies who make components for the iPhone.  
    They also know that Apple is not a willing party to this trade war. 

    What benefit fit in the long run will this have? I doubt we will see any control in theft of IP.  Some concessions have been made, but does it add up to a benefit when you total up all of the lost revenue from all business with China due to this conflict?
    Funny man. Expecting Chinese customers to buy phones at several times their at-factory price to ensure other Chinese people keep their jobs (eventually)
    They won't. Especially as they have other ecosystems than Apple's - making iPhones foreign, overpriced exotics.

  • Apple may have trouble finding 5G modems for 2020 iPhones if it doesn't make its own

    LatkoLatko

    What are the advantages to having a phone, any phone, with 5G - currently or even in 2020? I understand that downloads would be significantly faster in theory. Even with that I don't know many people that are downloading things that require significant bandwidth on a regular basis. And, of course, having a faster download speed doesn't mean that whatever server I'm connected to can upload fast enough for me to notice.
    This industry is alive because of technology-push: high-tech that actually doesn’t fulfill its importance until clever marketing and new appliances make the difference. It’s not you, but Apple who will have a big issue when they are amongst the few 5G have-nots in 2020.
    Sadly, it’s aging/stagnant Board of pensionado’s is playing the “never-mind” game as they can do because of customers like you.

    Whatever the details, their multi-supplier strategy completely fell apart with making trouble with QualComm over a $30 license fee (that they already passed over to customers tenfold), making themselves depedendent on Intel and ...themselves
