Warren Buffett praises iPhone as an 'extraordinary product'
JP234 said:So sayeth the Oracle of Omaha. And he's right. You pay $30-40K for a car that does one thing. You pay $1K for a device that does more things than you can count or even remember, many of them essential of important to your daily life.
It's the bargain of the millennium. And enough people know that, consciously or not, that Apple Inc. is a cash machine, and will remain so for the foreseeable future, regardless of global events, market fluctuations or technology advances (the iPhone will be at the forefront there). -

Mixed-reality headset will be main focus of WWDC 2023
tht said:Not sure what's up with the media reporting of both Gurman and Kuo here. It seems obvious that Apple is going to announce this goggles product with it shipping at least 6 months later. Hard to believe that this wasn't going to happen this way. Apple does this with new types of hardware products with no threat of an Osborne effect, or, they will announce products that don't matter to their bottom line 6 like the $5000 Mac desktops, $5000 displays, or a niche accessory.
They both probably know of specific parts going into the goggles, like 2" OLED displays, goggle shaped ribbon cables, lens parts, who knows what else. They are just waiting on one their suppliers get the "go" order for mass production. When that happens, 3 to 4 months later, the product can be assembled, with 1 to 2 months after that for shipping to customers. There's surely trial production and assembly for all the risky parts. So, the trick is figuring out what is trial production for this or that part, or it's the real deal. So lots of guessing from Kuo and Gurman on "go" time.
Why would Apple wait for WWDC in June instead of doing it in March? Or July? Or September? There probably is a sense (a set of metrics) within Apple for when the product can ship to end customers. They are just waiting on when the critical milestones for shipping within 6 months is reached. Haven't gotten there yet. -

Users won't give up their iPhones for $10K, and that makes Apple 'wonderful' says Warren B...
DAalseth said:If you're an Apple user and somebody offers you $10,000, with the the only proviso [that] they'll take away your iPhone and you'll never be able to buy another," he said, "you're not going to take it.
That’s a very silly statement. Most people I know would take it in a heartbeat. Lose the iPhone, that would be unfortunate, but $10k would get me a nice Mac, and other things that would make up the difference.The money wasn’t worth my piece of mind.
