  • Bearish Apple analyst continues trend of bashing iPhone sales

    Stock price manipulation to benefit the few. It’s criminal. Or I wish it was.

  • Don't update to iOS 13 just yet -- wait for iOS 13.1

    looplessloopless
    Multiple phones, no problems with iOS 13.0. I have an iPad on iOS 13.1 beta and it's super stable as well.

    When you "upgrade" reminders it can take a few minutes for them all to appear again. Don't panic! They are being synced to iCloud and then coming back eventually one by one.
    Apple's release strategy is how most software companies work now and have for some time. Developers work on multiple parallel branches and may or may not merge bug-fixes from a newer branch to and older one- it's always a judgement call as to whether merging a bug-fix is worth the risk. I'll just be careful to not let strangers grab my iPhone and look at my contacts until 13.1!

    Still only 18 hours in an Apple “day”.
    Yes they assume you sleep at night, it's fine. In my experience it gets more, can go 1-2 days.
    It’s pretty clear Apple surveyed many users and the existing battery life is fine for nearly everyone. It’s not an issue for me. And that people want features (eg always on) over longer battery life.

  • Apple CEO Tim Cook donates $5M to charity

    looplessloopless
    Tim Cook has publicly stated he will be giving away ‘all’ his fortune to charitable causes . This is just a start. Thank goodness for people like him and bill gates.

    @Soli ;

    First of all, the Fidelity 2% cashback card, Citi double cash card, and Paypal cashback card are all free cards that offer 2% cashback on ALL purchases. So yes, these all exceed the 2% offered by Apple on Apple Pay purchases only. Not to mention the various sign on bonuses, price protections, and extended warranty coverages these cards offer that Apple has yet to (if at all) announce for the Apple card. 

    Seconf of all, regarding your "thousands of dollars" you spend each year directly from Apple, well, you're just a fool for spending full price when you can easily find the products (even new ones) for a discount much greater than the extra 1% you get with the Apple card. For example, Amazon is selling the new iPad Air for $469 while selling for $499 at the Apple Store. Many people have the Amazon Store card or Amazon Prime card, both giving 5% discount on ALL Amazon purchases. So in the Amazon example, 6% discount on base price plus 5% Amazon card discount is 11% total discount from purchasing from Amazon vs Apple Store. How does your 3% sound now?

    You have fervently defended this Apple Card and decried anyone else with valid facts as to why the Apple card is not the best card as trolls which is clearly untrue.

    %2 is more if it isn't Apple.

    It's insane how people hypocritically bash Apple and get away with it. Apple always held to a higher standard.

    Keep your unsafe, data collecting cards buddy and we'll keep our titanium ones.
    Uh yeah I literally said "on Apple Pay purchases only". So, net effect cash back from each of these 3 cards is greater than Apple's. Aka from a cash back perspective, which was the focus of Soli's post, those 3 cards beat Apple's.

    And FYI, in the over 20 years of owning cards (I currently own 15), I've had zero fraud and I'm sure many people are in the same boat.

    I’m hyper security aware and had my card number stolen at least  once every 2 years or so. So I’m calling bs on that last statement.
