  • Facebook, Google, other major developers decline to offer native Apple silicon apps at lau...

    The headline is a bit misleading (if only slightly so). As pointed by others I searched in the mac app store for Gmail, twitter and facebook apps and they are not there not even netflix. The clarification is deep into the article
    ```Because Apple silicon Macs run on chips bearing a largely identical architecture to those in iPhone and iPad, iOS developers can port their wares to the new Mac operating system with minimal effort. Apple is also allowing iOS and iPadOS app makers to offer apps through the Mac App Store. While some, like Netflix and HBO, have elected to do so, others have declined.```
    So its Apple pushing them to port their iPad apps to mac. Given that is not at all surprising that they are not immediately on board...

    I see an Iphone 7 on offer at around 35K (~$510) on amazon. Which is around same starting price as One plus's latest offerings... Kind of where they need to be as a luxury brand..

  • Declining iPhone sales in India is a sign Apple is failing to adapt its business

    The problem is what Tim Cook explained in on of the interviews about ever increasing ASP of iPhones. Which is, they assumes everybody buys phones from service providers on some contract or long term purchase plan. Nobody I know in India buys phone from service providers. Almost everybody buys it from the likes of amazon.in or from mobile phone shops which pop up in every street. I don't think i can every get myself to buy a phone for Rs. 100,000 ($1400 yep that's how much latest apple phone's cost in India). The Average phone price I buy is around 20K - 35K ( $300-500). And believe me I am not struggling for food :smiley:
