  • Google says it's bringing Apple-like privacy features to Android

    Google is a spyware company. How could they care?

    Although I did hear Coca Cola was investing billions to keep kids away from sugar and snacks. You will need a driver’s license now to purchase their junk food and when kids try to eat/drink their crap a laser will zap their forehead and shock them.

    See how ridiculous that sounds? This article sounds WORSE because Google is claiming to keep 100% of their customers safe from their golden goose of stealing personal data.

  • Apple's iPhone dominated U.S. smartphone market in 2021

    Time to sell all AAPL shares. Apple is doomed. It can’t POSSIBLY grow any more. It’s about to go out of business. 

    That’s what your financial advisor will tell you. 

    I hope everyone is smarter than that. 
    Bitter, resentful comments like this have been on this board for years. But has anyone actually produced a quote from a reputable analyst or mainstream news source that has said anything like this in over 10 years?

    Please, do not cite people claiming "a specific Apple product is likely to struggle" (which happened with the iPhone 12 Mini, HomePod and Apple TV) or "Apple wll face competition" (as they do because no single product - not even the Apple Watch - enjoys 50% market share and most have less than 1/3 share) as "Apple is doomed." 

    Apple has had around 50% domestic market share and 15% global market share for the iPhone since around 2012. It isn't 2005 anymore where Apple had 3% PC market share with the bulk of their revenue coming from iPods and iTunes (on Windows!) downloads. At some point this victimization act that Apple fans put on has to end. 


    Everyone was going crazy when Tim warned Apple may not have a record-breaking quarter. That was about 2 years ago?

    Everyone was laughing at Apple and saying the iPhone was too expensive that’s why Cook warned investors. Really stupid.

  • Apple says Spatial Audio is a hit, drawing more listeners to Apple Music

    Just got my AirPods 2! Thanks AI for the sale link!

    I have an iPhone 7. Will I be able to use Spatial Audio?

    UPDATE:
    NO. You need AirPods 3 or Pro. I like the original form factor so I have no regrets. My OCD won’t let me try the new form factor without trying the originals.

    Maybe in a year when there’s a deal on a newer AirPods model I will purchase and try Spatial Audio.

    I’m just stoked to try AirPods for the first time!!

  • Apple's iPhone 13 is significantly faster than Samsung's latest Galaxy S22

    At this rate, it will take Samsung several more years to simply catch up with the iPhone 13. They have not been able to break out of their performance curve. This is alarming because competition is good for the industry as a whole (including Apple) but other ARM makers are falling behind badly. Hopefully NVIDIA can work some magic with their ARM processors.

    “Competition is good”
    is a myth. When Apple invented the iPhone they didn’t think of making a better Blackberry or a skinnier flip phone. Copying does NOT create innovation. Innovation creates innovation.

    Samsung DOES NOT push Apple to make a faster iPhone 14. Apple and it’s needs push Apple to make a faster iPhone 14. Apple Watch and AirPods are a testament to that.

    Like that Ford quote
    ”If I asked what people wanted they would have said faster horses.”
