  • iPhone sales drop 10% as Samsung steadies and Chinese rivals grow

    Its today's, "lets manipulate the Apple stock price!" courtesy of IDC.
    No-one knows the actual volume of iPhone sales except Apple.

  • Gaming and AI are in Mac's future, even with low memory capacities

    It is NOT BS.  Unified memory is a huge advantage.

    I have a 16GB 14" M1 MacBook Pro, and a  Dell 32GB Windows 11 Core I7 laptop. Both with SSD's.  I use them for software development.
    The Windows 11 machine is bumping up against its memory limits (at which point the performance tanks)  earlier than I have problems with the MacBook when doing a similar set of tasks. For example, using QT Creator and Visual Code, then building large code bases and with lots of other apps open at the same time. 
    And lets not talk about the various "blue screens" that still seem to plague Windows.
    I looked at upgrading the Dell's memory  but it has CAMM memory that costs $1000 to upgrade - so don't be complaining about Apples prices!

  • 14% of all iPhones now come from India

    This is how you build a middle class. People who previously would have been working low-paid, dirty , dangerous jobs get to work in a clean, safe environment with better wages. It will particularly empower women.

    They have NO IDEA and are just making stuff up on the thinnest of data so they can manipulate the stock price. The only people that really know are Apple, all the rest is speculation.

  • Apple will surrender less than a day of earnings to satisfy class action suit

    "Cook and Apple should have foreseen the economic downturn "
    Yeah, and they should have foreseen COVID as well. And the invasion of Ukraine, and that I was going to stub my toe this morning.

    Tim is a scrupulously honest guy, and it would  "strain credulity" that he would make a deliberately false statement to mislead investors. To what end?  He, personally,     did not benefit in any way. 

    Its not a false equivalence to ask why Elon Musk has not been thrown in jail for his blatantly false statements regarding Tesla which has affected their stock price or why Tesla have not been fined billions.

    Apple is everyones favorite punching bag these days.
