  • Tim Cook makes $41.5 million in his first Apple stock sale since 2021

    Maybe he knows something we don't?
    Nope, sure the CEO knows nothing, nothing.🤦‍♂️

  • Spotify cutting off remaining customers paying through the App Store

    Apple should not be able to dictate what over 53% of American consumers can install on their phones. They should not be able to force companies to bend to their rules or just loose 53% of the mobile market
    Well since In 2012 Apple had it’s walled garden and only 30% market share and the share has grown just over 20% in 10 years seems the customers are voting on how much they appreciate the walled garden approach.  

    Just because personally you would like to “jailbreak” your phone does not mean I want that for myself of my children’s phones.  That’s the joy of a non-monopoly situation, select the company and phone that meets your personal desires.

  • Brydge relaunches in a new venture with old executives

    Yeah nothing to worry about when a foreclosed company is bought out by the previous person in charge of the money and the former person in charge of sales.  Not like they don’t have years of experience making a company profit….oh shoot😉😂🤣

  • New rumors clash over 15-inch MacBook Air release date

    In 2023, 13.6" and 15" MBA will be M3 based and released around the Back to School season, WWDC23.
    Exactly.  It seems these leakers are living in fantasy land.   If a 15” is in development it will most likely be released in the fall with the M3 across the full Air lineup.  While Apple has done some short upgrade cycles, it is extremely unlikely they will release an 15” Air to update the 13” Air this fall.  If they did, I would actually suspect Apple moving to more of a 2-year cycle which is closer to when people are willing to upgrade.

    Here is my predictions, so we can see how good of guessing I am compared to these leakers.

    1. M3 Ultra/Extreme will be released along side the new Mac Pro and AR headset at WWDC.
    2. New Airs released with the M3 in the Fall. 
    3. New MBP with M3 Pro/Max in the summer of 2024.

  • Apple's slower hiring allows it to avoid wave of big tech layoffs

    did i miss something? i thought they recently had a ton of layoffs in their “channel retail” sector and i could’ve sworn appleinsider reported on it…

    for reference:
    https://appleinsider.com/articles/23/01/20/layoffs-in-some-of-apples-retail-channels-have-begun
    Maybe you missed the first paragraph of your linked article and the reference within this one to Best Buy location non-essential staff receiving 30-day notices?

    So yeah looks like you missed something.
