    Cook mentioned upgrading the whole line multiple times... Maybe they're just delaying the iPad Pro a little bit so it can share the 5G/Apple silicon thunder?
    or the iPad Pro which was upgraded only 6 months ago will still left untouched until Spring 2021. 

    if an upgrade happens in late 2020. I assume it will only be to include the A14/A14X and a 5G modem to the cellular models.

    Apple should advertise how they are leaders at abusing the market and pushing anti competitive practices in the name of security. Because the reason you can't side load apps or have a different store isn't about security, it is about controlling the market and forcing the consumer to have one single choice on that OS used by billions. Security shouldn't compromise consumer choice when that OS has the support of third party companies and developers.

  • Apple highlights PUBG Mobile on same day it's set to close 'Fortnite' account

    From Epic’s email:

    “Epic lowered prices through a direct payment option, but Apple is blocking Fortnite in order to prevent Epic from passing on the savings from direct payments to players.”

    They are making an extra $1 from these d*mb players. They still don’t see it and believe the #freefornite c*ap.

  • 'iPhone 12' may not ship with EarPods, power adapter to offset 5G costs

    I won’t mind without the brick and cable but I think still it’s a bad move. 

    The media and most users aren’t going to care if they did it that way so they can keep the price the same because of 5G components.

    The general consensus will be “if I get a $650 or $1K iPhone I expect at least a freaking cable to charge it”

    Earbuds they can get away with it because you can still use the phone without them they are more of an accessory BUT you can’t keep using your phone without a charging cable after battery is depleted so the cable is more essential item than an accessory. 

    Again this is from the perspective of NEW customers those of us within the ecosystem already won’t care because there are plenty cables and bricks around from previous purchases. It just looks bad to entice potential new hardware purchasers.

    One way they can get somewhere close is to offer some sort of options at checkout like add-ons with a slightly lower price than retail and it is not going to look that bad. Like they do now with the education discount that you can get the airpods pro or wireless and pay the extra cost.

     That may work but selling the iPhone and then “oh btw get a charger because it doesn’t come with one even though is a $1K iPhone.” it is just giving the media and haters a field day. Of course Samsung and Google will quietly follow but Apple will be the one getting roasted. Like Samsung did with the 3.5 mm port.
