  • iPhone sales drop in China's annual Singles Day sales

    KierkegaardenKierkegaarden
    So this wasn’t an “iPhone” sales decrease, but rather a decrease throughout all products?  Was this also true for the other companies listed, and what was the increase from?  For example, if 66% is an increase from $1000, the number doesn’t seem as exciting.  Also, what did these increases cost?  If they slashed prices by 50%, they need 2x or more extra volume to maintain profit levels.  Reports like this are garbage because they only focus on a small less important part of the story.

    Is impressive to see the things MS and Google are doing with such an empty buzzword,

    Microsoft 365 Copilot - YouTube


    I don’t find these impressive.  Neat, but how is this different from doing a simple web search (in the case of Google examples)?  And for MS, will users actually pay $30 per month for this?
    CoPilot is more than just a web search.  A web search cannot analyze a spreadsheet, neither can summarize a Teams meeting or create a PowerPoint presentation from your Word and Excel files. Check the link I posted before with a long list of things CoPilot do and how it integrates with MS Office.  I personally find CoPilot to be very impresive and useful.





    At the moment, CoPllot is for large business and enterprises, and they won't have issues to pay for it if it's worth it.  And from what I have seen, there is a group of users that can take advantage of it.  
    I clearly stated that I was referring to Google in terms of the web search comment.  And the MS examples aren’t impressive to me — the Excel functions might be useful to some, but the big question is whether or not a user will have confidence in the results to present them at a meeting.  And if they already have a formula built into the file that does what they’re describing, why would they need co-pilot?

  • Cook wanted Apple and Google to be 'deep, deep partners'

    Two large companies with competing products and services, and on friendly terms — is this a bad thing?

    I wonder if they will switch to M3… seems like this product would benefit most from using the latest process (3nm instead of 5nm).
    Plus the GPU improvements of the M3 seem like they were made with Vision Pro in mind. 

    Would be surprising with the timeframe if the shipping unit wasn't M3 even if the developer build units are M2 as shown on the Apple website. 
    Absolutely agree — announcing the device with an unreleased chip in June of this year would have been a mistake.  Even though there is another chip to complement the M, I would be shocked if they used an M2.
