With all the comments to 'Break up the Amazon monopoly," progressives also will have their eyes on  the world's most richest and valuable corporation.  In general, the Left doesn't like the tech world, and shedding intel for ARM just looks like another nail in Apple's monopolistic approach. These people will not evaluate worldwide numbers, but just find a sympathetic judge to begin the process.   I can clearly remember what the outcome of the lawsuit was when Apple's iBooks versos Kindle went to trial. Had numbers didn't mean squat.  r Just a thought       (and I'm waiting for ARM to be in the next 27"iMac I buy!)

  • Amazon acquires mesh Wi-Fi router startup eero as part of smart home push

    I have eero at present.

    I'll never update its software, and I'm seriously debating with myself  whether to pull it or just leave it in its present configuration.

    This smells of Bezos grabbing for more power.

  • Apple lowers holiday quarter guidance on lower than expected iPhone sales

    I'm keeping my two SEs until the batteries finally fail. Then, I might get an 8 - - if they're still around.  Apple has forgotten the primary utility of an iPhone is the PHONE, and not the camera.

    I'm in that third group. I have two     SEs (64 and 128) And I intend to keep them until either they disintegrate or I can't get batteries. 

    Why? Verizon no longer keep the wire lines into my home working - - so I had to go wireless.  I need iPhones that are phones primarily, and not the world's greatest cameras and pocket computers. (I've got those covered with an iPad pro and a desktop 27" iMac.)

    My five female grandchildren are already complaining about the decision to stop selling the SE.  Maybe Tim Cook has forgotten that 51% of the population consists of females.

  • 'iPhone SE 2' has iPhone X-style screen and notch according to case vendor

    For me, there are two reasons for a small iPhone with the SE form factor: 

    (1) It's easy to grasp and to hold with arthritic hands, can fit in the pocket, and can be taken out  with hands and fingers that aren't the strongest.
    (2) It is my primary (home) phone, as Verizon is gradually abandoning the wired POTS arena.

    As an aside to the second point: It's estimated that about half of the individual home wired connections have been dropped in favor of wireless, and with more to follow.. Wireless calls for phones that can fit into purses, shirt pockets, trousers pockets and coat pockets.  There are many of us who do not need a hand-held computer, but do need the primary capability for verbal communications, wherever we might be..

    The form factor also provides the internal space for upgrading that would be reduced in a "thin"version.

    Just the thoughts of a guy who MUST depend upon wireless for basic communications
