  • Musk Twitter mayhem continues with short-lived grey checkmark

    Say what you want about Elon (Tesla cars have many design problems), but he's gotten more done in Twitter in two weeks than the previous leadership did in a few years. Wouldn't bet against him.

    Kill this iPad, bring back last year's iPad Air, rename it "iPad" and lower the price. Keep home button iPad around as education bulk buy.

    iPad mini, iPad and iPad Pro. Give iPad Pro additional ports (three in total): SD Card, USB-4 and MagSafe 3.

    Done.
    Yes, done!

    What you suggested is essentially what Apple did. 
    No it is not. iPad Pro does not have SD Card and MagSafe alongside USB-4. And previous gen iPad Air is not this iPad with Pencil one support and a stupid dongle.

  • Apple CEO Tim Cook says iPhone 14 Pro demand exceeds supply

    There also seems to be a shortage of the 2022 SE. There haven’t been any available “at the 12 stores nearest me” for at least two weeks now. 

    I don’t understand how Apple can underestimate demand so badly. 
    Scarcity to help push demand. Sales psychology 101. Truth is we have no idea how many they have made or shipped.

  • Apple CEO Tim Cook says iPhone 14 Pro demand exceeds supply

    The oldest sales trick in the book to drive sales. Truth is we have no idea if demand is actually exceeding supply and how many were made. The non-Pro iPhone 14 starts at €1,029 and I’ve reached my line and I’m now beginning to recommend against people I know buying an iPhone. Base model Pixel and Pixel Pro are €380 and €440 cheaper than iPhone. Greedy people running Apple. Hope more and more people switch away from iPhone and I don’t really trust Tim’s statement to be entirely genuine here.
