  • Apple Pay overtakes Starbucks for in-store mobile payments

    AppleExposedAppleExposed
    Not sure if I should be amazed that Starbucks has achieved more market penetration that Google/Samsung or embarrassed for Goog/Sammy.

    On another note, Apple should make a deal with Starbucks and allow their rewards via Apple Pay. Take their marketshare and handle Starbucks mobile development for free.

  • Apple Watch saves Calgary woman from rapist

    "she texted her boyfriend via her Apple Watch, who in turn called 911."

    Weird. I wonder if she contacted her boyfriend first because police tend to take their sweet time? She probably thought he would show up faster.

    Has anyone noticed 10% jump in Japan?

    Ah... good ole Japan. They're big on gaming and Apple Arcade may have helped that. If Apple releases an iPhone SE-sized model expect marketshare to increase further.

    Still not sure why others can’t achieve what Apple can in chip design. And, while every editorial praises Apple’s approach (concentrating on premium devices only), there must be companies making cheap devices. There’s nothing wrong with being a cheap device producer. You obviously can’t make more money from cheap devices as they priced less than Apple’s margin on iPhones.
    Great question.

    i wonder if it just isn’t worth it. Compare a pixel 4 or top Galaxy to the iPhone and it’s hard to see how the iPhone benefits from its better CPU by a margin that is large enough to warrant competitors making an investment large enough to compete. If Apple were taking serious market share from android then maybe the droid guys would try harder. But Apple has been in the 15 to 20 percent market share range for a long time.

    i think an even better question is — why does Apple bother making a cpu this good? I suspect the answer is that Apple also sells something called an iPad Pro, and they want the cpu speed for that product. Maybe also the Mac?

    if Apple didn’t sell iPads, I wonder if they’d invest less in cpu development...

    "Android" isn't a phone manufacturer but a platform for 1,000+ iKnockoff manufacturers. Apple clinging to just 1% marketshare would be amazing but they're taking 15-20% and doing so with as little as 8 different models.

    Trust me, the iKnockoff companies are trying as hard as they can to take Apples well-deserved throne.

    Samsung has also been caught cheating on benchmarks, by running at higher clock speeds when a benchmark app is detected.
    A number of Android makers have been guilty of that. Huawei and a couple of others have been doing that recently.

    And still falling behind Apple.

    This comparison between iOS and Android marketshare is not relevant. Do the same chart, but for profits earned by each platform. Apple isn't trying to sell more phones than Android, they're trying to MAKE MORE MONEY.

    Do you think the extra 2% marketshare made Apple more money? Especially with all their services?

    All of the countries that have high iOS usage rates are countries that I have always liked (USA, Japan, GB, Australia) long before iOS ever existed and most of the ones with lower iOS usage rates are countries that I'm not too crazy about (Germany, France, Spain). Coincidence?

    Countries with more educated people have higher iOS adoption. Sorry if the statistics offend you iKnockoff users.
