  • Demand for iPhone 11 outpacing supply chain expectations

    The doubling of the lead time "implies to us increased interest in the 'lower end' model that initially anticipated by Apple (...)
    Isn't that bad for stock holders, more people buying the cheaper version? Ah, AAPL dropped ,50 No biggie, but it also didn't go through the roof either.

    ALL Apple news is bad news.

    When the 5s was outselling the 5c, articles read "iPhone 5c is a failure" even though it outsold all knockoffs and the only phones outselling the 5c were made by....wait for it... APPLE.

    If iPhone 11 outsells iPhone 11 Pro, after years of these donkeys claiming "Apple is too expensiveee.." they'll type up new articles claiming "people no longer willing to pay a premium for Apple products."

    Once again Apple confounds the pundits and trolls. Will they ever learn? Not likely. After all, negativity is the norm on the Internet. 
    So three years of flat sales and a profit warning leave nothing for Apple or you to learn?

    Apple hasn't confounded anyone. For the last three years it has been the same, right down to the kind of statement you just made. And as usual you are running with an analyst statement! The same analysts you always criticise!

    Have you forgotten about 'the iPhone X is the most popular iPhone'?  That, in the end, didn't change anything. Things still came out flat.

    If anything, the opposite to what you are saying is true. Apple has learnt (the hard way) and as a result we have a much stronger lineup at far cheaper prices - right down to the iPhone 8.

    Thank the competition for that, too.

    "Flat sales", highest user base in history.

    "Profit warning", one of the most profitable quarters in history.

    Funny how you criticize Apple for releasing "the same" yet the knockoffs that ripped off Apple design and UI are constantly praised by you.

    "Thank the competition for that, too."

    Somehow you managed to stick the knockoff Huawei iPhones in this article.....

  • Apple fans line up for iPhone 11, Apple Watch Series 5 as first orders arrive

    I've never understood why anyone would do this.  What's the difference if you buy a new phone on the day it's released, a day later, a week later or a month (or more) later?   And I've never understood how there are people who can both afford the phone and waste so much time.   But I will give them some credit for having the patience to stand on line.   If a line is more than 10-15 minutes for anything, I'm out of there.

    I understand this is a kind of ritual to some people but it still caught me off guard why it's still a thing now. I thought everyone is lining up online these days.

    It's a social thing.

    Why do people watch movies on release day when they can wait a month or get it on DVD in 3 months?

    Let people have fun with their time. I wish I had the time too but it doesn't make me envious of them. Some of the best memories of my life were waiting in lines with fellow fans of video games and consoles. You wouldn't understand.

  • Don't update to iOS 13 just yet -- wait for iOS 13.1

    I'm grateful for this warning.  I'll definitely wait for 13.1.

    I can't understand why Apple went ahead and released version 13.0 with these bugs.  I know, I know, there are often problems with new iOS versions, but this time there's a later version already ready.  Why release a version with known problems for which there's a solution ready?

    Please. iOS 13 has less bugs than most releases. Even 13.1 will have bugs.

    No Apple did not rush this release.... Apple users have become so spoiled.

    You better wait until 13.9. Then it will have even more bugs fixed. 
    wait for it, wait for it, wait...

    Like the people who are always holding out for "next years" device which will certainly be better. Those people still have iPhone 4 because "next year",

    I always update on release day and thus far, I haven’t encountered any issues. I love the simplified way AirDrop now works with contacts, I haven’t seen the No Sender Mail issue’s, and the new swipe keyboard is pretty cool and comparable to GBoard I used by Google. I’m pretty happy with iOS 13, especially Night Mode. 
    I haven't either. This time I updated early simply because of Apple Arcade. Without it I might wait.

    And yes, swipe keyboard is great, but how do you type double letters, like le'tt'ers?
    What I do when typing, as I’ve used GBoard for a long time now, is slightly hold that letter for a split second longer and it registers what I was aiming for. I used to have Apple’s predictive spelling/suggestions turned off, but it was helpful on GBoard so I turned it back on now using Apple’s keyboard. I’d been waiting to ditch Google’s for a while now. 

    Only because Google has been saving everything you write.
