Apple Stores to use paper, not plastic, bags in environmental push, report says
gospelthegrey said:Huh??? The original purpose of switching from paper to plastic was to save trees. I guess the question is:
Kill a tree or fill a landfill?
Environmentalists are never satisfied.
Killing trees isn't so bad when you also plant them to ensure a steady supply in a sustainably managed way. Not to mention use of recycled paper so that it doesn't take as many trees to begin with. It isn't about being satisfied. It is about improving upon what you are doing if a better method comes along.

Apple turning comparatively low profit on iPhone SE despite cheaper parts, analyst says
Apple didn't meet Analyst expectations. We don't know if they met their own since they don't guide on unit volume. What we do know is that they sold more iPhones than ever in that quarter, but it is somehow tarnished by barely missing the expected number. The supply chain rumors or individual supplier data doesn't tell the whole story. This is probably even more true given the introduction of the SE. We will really have to wait and see.DrStock said:
Well since last the last quarter apple sold less iphones then anticipated. There is a possibility that there is over supply. I understand that apple would reduce orders to adjust supply. But just recently it was announced by a source in a supplier that there is a huge decrease in the iphone 6s which the iphone se is unable to offset aka this quarter might be worst than anticipated and again have an over supply. As tim cook said the next quarter is going to show negative growth but I fear that it might be worst than what he expects. P.S. I think the iphone se will sell but not enought.robjn said:The idea that Apple over-produced parts for the 6s just goes to show ignorance of how manufacturing actually works.
The development of a new phone takes at least a year to 18 months. Apple knew a long time ago that they would use the A9 in the SE. The idea that they decided to put it in because they made too many for the 6s is nonsense!
The manufacturing date on one chip in one phone is irrelevant, these parts do not necessary move through inventory on a 'first out - first in" basis.

Apple flies original Mac team's pirate flag for company's 40th anniversary
sog35 said:How insensitive of Apple.
Hundreds of innocent lives are lost each year at sea from Pirates around the world.
It is about non-conformity and not actual Piracy, but you knew that. Take you faux PC rage elsewhere.

Apple iPhone SE teardown reveals mashup of iPhone 5 & 6 series chips, few new parts
What they are saying is that they are stocked parts for other devices. Keep in mind that apple is building millions upon millions of these devices and have very large bins full of parts. It says nothing to the age or quality of the parts. A bin is in a container in the US more than any other meaning. It is in no way a derogatory term. It would be proceeded by "bargain" or "surplus" something similar i your use of it.rob53 said:Why are you saying Apple's parts come from a "parts bin"? This term is used for antiquated parts, usually from garbage PCs, but never from Apple products. Using this term, then saying it's also using parts from the iPhone 6s makes it sound like the 6s is also using old parts. Just because Apple is using some parts from the 5s doesn't mean those parts aren't any good. I see the iPhone SE as a smaller 6s, not a reloaded 5s. Give it its due instead of making fun of it.

Who would actually use the selfie flash on a 9.7" iPad Pro?
If you're going to take a selfie with retina flash, you should use the best device for that. The iPad Pro 9.7 has the largest display and can put out the biggest flash of light. If you're using your phone for selfies at home on the couch, you're doing it wrong. I know the article was tongue in cheek, but it was just dumb, somewhat insulting, and just a waist of time. Sorry I read it.
