  • iPhone 15 Pro Max lands with 5x optical zoom, faster USB-C

    This is a huge upgrade for iPhone X users from 2017.
    The iPhone 15 Pro Max is intended for iPhone X, 11, and 12 users.
    If you have an iPhone 14, wait until the iPhone 17 before upgrading.
    Apple always incrementally upgrades.

  • Mac Pro M2 review - Maybe a true modular Mac will come in a few more years

    GPU PCIe cards will work. But someone has to write the drivers for them.  Apple won't.
    The article stated the Mac Studio is what most pros should buy.
    This validates the 2013 Trash Can Mac.  The Mac Studio essentially is the Trash Can Make incarnate.
    The Trash Can Mac forced developers to use non-PCIe solutions via Thunderbolt.
    So today, these solutions makes PCIe expansion less useful though still welcome in some fields.
    So long as someone writes drivers, then slaves CPUs and GPUs can be used for number crunching on the Mac Pro,
    which cannot be done on the Mac Studio.

  • It's impossible to compete with Apple, says third-party iPhone repair shops

    Independent repair shops complaint about the cost of repair parts.
    They complain about the affordability of doing repairs on a $1500 iPhone.

    Why should Apple provide repair parts at a discount to you?
    Particularly since Apple runs their repair program at a loss.

    Apple deserves to make a profit on repair parts also.
    They don't give these away for free or at a loss to repair shops.

    Solution: just charge customers more if you want to make a higher provit
    from doing repairs.

  • Spotify is still bleeding money but predicts a return to profitability

    Apple makes money because it only provides services that can make money.
    Spotify otn the other hand is like Google. They provide everything including the kitchen sink.
    But Google is famous for numerous failed projects.
    The only thing keeping Google afloat are its advertising business and search business.
    which by making billions, can support numerous failed projects.

    Spotify has to get rid of its free service with ads if that doesn't make money.
    Apple only gives you free as a loss leader temporarily until you get hooked in to paying them.
    Spotify should do the same.

    The biggest problem for Spotify is that it has shareholders and is a public company.
    This puts enormous pressure to turn a profit in the short run.
    This means making bad decisions for the long term.
    Apple on the other hand primarily looks long term.
