  • Indian government publicly rejects Apple's desire to sell used iPhones

    I think Apple should pull the plug on their development center they committed in Banglore and Hyderabad. They should take their business somewhere else.

  • Apple Stores suffering from 'cult' atmosphere, advancement barriers, says UK staffer

    It is not just Business Insider, but you should read MarketWatch or read or watch CNBC. Especially on CNBC, majority of their folks, especially Melissa Lee (who I believe is Korean-American), try so hard to make Apple look like crap, even when the person they have on show is explaining positive information on Apple. When all fails, she will abruptly check the subject and move on find another angle to beat up on Apple.

  • Fitbit's 'basic' devices dominate wearables market, Apple Watch sneaks into third

    Not only it is bad comparison, it is not factual. Apple has not yet broken down Apple Watch from other category - So how does IDC know how many Apple watches were sold. IDC has been caught enough time providing skewed and inaccurate information.

  • Apple's Didi investment is surprising but good use of massive $233B cash hoard, analyst says

    "...In China, Didi faces stiff competition from international ride-sharing giant Uber China,..." This statement is not accurate. What I understand that it is other way around. Didi is available in 400+ cities in China, while Uber is only in 45 or so Chinese cities.

    Also, I think this was a wise investment. It will have much larger ROI than Apple $3B investment in Beats. This investment will certainly help pushing Apple Pay and other Apple eco-system plays.
    The Beats deal was great and they've already made their money back. Why are people still crying about it? Beats headphones rule the market and every iPhone/iPhoney user is a potential customer.

    Streaming is a whole market that has potential just as great.

    Beats hardware could potentially generate 6 billion a year under Apple's umbrella. Before being acquired they were generating 3 billion a year with little to no advertising.

    Bluetooth is the future and Beats is the Titanic audio brand, I wouldn't be surprised if Tim Cook announces a new Bluetooth product category soon. Headphones, Bluetooth stereos, streaming.... Don't be surprised if the 3 Billion dollar Beats deal generates 12 Billion a year in a decade.

    The Didi deal is also great. Very interesting and mysterious. I hope they use the service for transportation research and mapping China.
    Wow! All I said that it would have larger ROI than Beats - There was no complain about Beats acquisition. Now that since you took the conversation somewhere else - If Beats was already generation $3B/year than I guess Apple got a real deal at $3.2B for Beats. Maybe the numbers you providing doesn't seem right. You mention "potentially" generating $6B - That means you are not sure because I think Beats goes under "Other" column for Apple. Yes, Beats headsets had enjoyed it success for a while - I don't think Millennials are buying them anymore.

    Soon, Apple will lose to this ridiculously shameless copycat, Huawei...yeah down to the damn screws.

    This whole copycat of Apple has been tried again and again - but at end of the day - It is all about experience and the eco system that Apple brings. Why do people still don't get it !
