  • 'Strong action' is coming if the EU doesn't like Apple's App Store concessions

    Was the spirit of the law access to iPhone hardware or through and App Store for free?
    Is the letter of the law access to iPhone hardware or through and App Store for free?  
    I don't think any company can or should be forced to give away access to its hardware or the tools to do so.   

    iPhone isn't a Mac or a PC where one merely develops software that can be downloaded and installed by a user.  That's an older ecosystem fraught with privacy and security hazards.   That's why the iPhone is locked down (or at least one reason given).

    I'm not saying Apple's charges for this side-loading is fair to everyone.  It's really hard to define "fair" because it's such a weasel word used by weasels who complain they're not getting something for free or for not letting them play in your sandbox and with your toys on your property on their schedule not yours, etc.

  • What to expect from Apple's Q1 2024 earnings report

    However, it still beat the expectations of Wall Street.

    This is the most meaningless thing the financial industry promotes and I wish they would just stahp it.

    Why?   Because "expectations" of Wall Street "analysts" (sarcastic quotes are deliberate) of results are guesses of said analysts.  Take the average of all the guesses and you have expectations.  Have too many analysts guess poorly too much one way or the other and you have either a miss or a beat.   It's just dumb.   

    Analysts can manipulate the market if they chose to deliberately guess too high.  I'd rather see the results or the analysts reported against the results.  

    This is just my comment and not reflective of the authors choice of words or use of them.  I enjoy listening to the calls live as an investor.  Thanks for this article.

  • Apple to sell Apple Watch with blood oxygen detection removed to bypass ITC import ban

    Let’s just hope that Apple doesn’t repeat this of they ever get glucose monitoring working.  

    I would expect blood oxygen to return in Watch 10 or 11.

  • Apple Watch ban back on, court denies Apple's appeal to keep it on the market

    Well, well… how the turn tables.

    Apple will find a way but it will take until watch 10 or 11.   No quick fix here.
