  • Why AAA games promoted by Apple flop in the App Store

    Let me guess ... they release AAA-Games months after the console/PC release and are wondering why people are not/no longer interested in buying the game for the iPhone!? Of course that makes no sense/even less if they charge a high list price for old games.
    Also, based on my own experience ports usually are horrible, so I wouldn't touch them with a long pole.
    Where are the AAA-Games that are Apple First?

    I would also guess, that the whole Apple Game fetish will eventually die/disappear like the other 3(?) times they promised to push for games, that never shown any lifesigns.

  • Apple's iPhone assembly automation goal has hit some bumps in the road

    You forgot the political dimension here as well. With millions of Chinese workers manufacturing directly or indirectly for Apple, they are a force of interest to the Chinese officials. I guess they have quite the influence on the PRC government.

    Now Apple is moving out of China and also adding some automation, which could lead to hundred-thousands of no longer working Chinese and that at a time where PRC unemployment rates are rising!

    If Apple pushes for more automation in China, they'll face a mountain of trouble in China. The fact that PRC government started forbidding to carry iPhones for any government worker (in the office) was just a warning shot and already lead to revenue loss in China. 

    (Now add the convicted felon tRump as #47 and his loud anti-china-rethoric and Apple will face significant headwind in the PRC!)

  • Apple Vision Pro sequel stalls as work on cheaper consumer headset continues

    I just don't get it. OK Apple has the first time used the AI moniker wow big deal.
    Who was the first to equip all it's (major compute) hardware with AI support in Hardware!? Apple.
    Who has been continouusly implemented features once they are ready for prime time, privacy and are actually useful? Apple.
    Who has for years an in house team for AI? Apple (yes okay and others).

    Who is surprised!? Those braindead MBAs that just don't get that ML is an AI technique.

    But hey as a stock holder I'm good.

  • Sonos removes a promise to not sell personal data, gets busted by users

    Same as always: It will make some waves in some forums. No one will return their Sonos products (as they will probably not recover their money on the now useless equipment) and in a few weeks it will continue business as usual. Usually almost no one reads these agreements anyway.

    Trump winning its a given at this point.
