Belkin's MagSafe Car Vent Mount Pro review: not as 'pro' as we'd like
Unfortunately bought this, too. Now I have a Chinese thingy that charges and even hold better to the vents. Didn’t cost half of what this thing cost me

Newton's August 1993 launch set the stage for what would become the iPad and iPhone
Oh the memories. Programming this thing was sort of my first job. My university apparently liked what I did in programming courses and asked me whether I want a holiday job. I programmed sort of a searchable scratchpad for geologists. Great fun. Can't remember what the language was called, but it was quite buggy back then, but in the end I got it to do what I wanted.

Apple not expected to debut wireless chargers alongside iPhone X, buyers to rely on third-...
Come on, Apple probably would have 5000% margin on a wireless charger, why would't they make one?

Apple axes Wi-Fi router division, apparently signaling the end of AirPort
It may be low margin, but long ago, Apple cared for the 'whole user experience'. If that means you need to sell things with a low margin to give the user a good experience.sog35 said:
Its all about margins my friend.blastdoor said:Makes sense -- now that apple is going after the coffetable book market, things like wireless routers and displays need to be axed.
The router business is a very low margin business. Selling $300 books, massive margins.
Plus the book project was necessary to keep Ive. Apple is stuck feeding Ive's massive ego now, allowing him to do some really ridiculous projects because he's so bored. IMO, Ive needs to be replaced with a chief design head that is motivated and hungry. Ive at this point is fat, satisfied, lazy, and content.

Well I guess Cook thinks he makes more money with iPhones. But one thing is true: The less products I can get from Apple, the easier it will be to switch altogether. Windows isn't as bad as it used to be, Android isn't as bad as it used to be... And Apple is on a dangerous way.
