  • Rumor: Apple buying screens for 13" MacBook, could signal end of MacBook Air

    It is much better then the first version simply because the first version is crap, and that by no means make the 2nd generation butterfly keyboard great. We still need improvements.

    13" Screen. or may be they are brining Retina to Macbook Air? The cost difference is absolutely minimal from BOM perspective. 

    Otherwise it wouldn't make sense to have next size of Macbook in 13", far too close to 12". It would have to be 14" at least.

  • Supply chain rumors again point to OLED and LCD iPhone models in 2018

    I love the look and feel of the iPhone X. But the mockup of the iPhone 4/ 5 flattish chassis looks very nice.
    Yes, I would actually love to see a iPhone 4 square design, Staninless Steel band, glass back, but with iPhone Plus Size and even thinner.

  • iPhone owners will be able to disable CPU throttling in future iOS version, Cook says

    The indicator is literally hidden.

    No ones goes into that option, they know their phone are slower, but they have literally no idea it has to do with battery.

    The release note does not mention in any regards about performance degrade.

    One must be reminded we are not talking about AI readers here, but general public.

    Does it deserve to be sued? No. But Again you get sued for everything in America.

  • iPhone owners will be able to disable CPU throttling in future iOS version, Cook says

    What I think are the most humorous aspects of the whole thing is that:

    #1
     Only the most demanding users actually noticed any slowdown of their 3 year old iPhone.
    #2 The slowdown only occurred during peak power demand.
    #3 The slowdown during peak power demand was barely noticeable and had to be verified with test equipment
    #4 The complainers put up with the sudden crashes, realizing that they had an old, chemically weakened battery
    #5 Users with older iPhones never thought to replace their older battery (cost $79)
    #6 Everybody has had to replace a car battery (life expectancy about 3 - 4 years on average).  Cost about $80 - $120.
    #7 Everybody has had to replace car tires (life expectancy about 3 - 4 years on average).  Cost about $300 - $400.
    #8 None of the plaintiffs knew that car batteries and tires wear out and will need to be replaced
    #9 Nobody has ever accused car manufacturers of planned obsolescence caused by battery/tire life span
    #10 Those that didn't replace the $79 batteries, on their 3 year old $700 device, feel they have been harmed to the tune of $20,000
    #11 None of the plaintiffs realize they'll never see more than a $100 coupon (redeemable when they purchase an Apple product)
    #12 Plaintiffs' attorneys will rake in millions in fees when the plaintiffs receive the $100 coupons (and that's OK with the plaintiffs).
    You see, that is EXACTLY the problem Apple has.

    1, 2, 3 = No.
    Twitter is filled with examples how new battery gave them a much better phone. Real Life experience too with myself and friends.

    Replace Cars - Batteries tires. 6,7. 8
    This is basically common sense is uncommon. Lots of people dont have cars, lots of people dont know when tires needs to be replaced. What they do know is that you are mandated to a car check every year and technicians will tell you what needs to be replaced for it to be on the road.

    What all users wants, and it is only fair doing so, is to tell them they have a significant impact on performance, and should change their battery.

    Heck many didn't knew iPhone could have their battery replaced. They thought it was integrated. Some know it could but didn't know Apple offers the services themselves. 

    While i agree it is silly to bring this to court, ( but I assume this is an America's thing ) saying this is users's ignorance is pure xxxxxx ( What's the word )

    But where was Samsung
    Samsung was disliked in China, partly due to the dispute of the Thadd system. 
    Thadd is more like a final nail in the coffin. Samsung's Marketshare declined when Chinese counter part started to take over.
