  • Apple may split its 5G 'iPhone 12' into two launches

    No mwave no purchase Apple...
    Pointless to include mmWave if it is never used. T-Mobile and AT&T aren’t even spending money on it anymore. Verizon probably soon stop too. Or at least for smartphones. It’s uneconomical and makes little sense when signals only work outside and within several hundred meters of the antenna

  • AT&T starts actual 5G rollout in ten markets -- but without mmWave

    Apart from higher prices what benefits will 5G actually bring most customers? I see some potential benefits in some areas (say medical equipment streaming a patients stats to a hospital, mobile games who want better frame rates, maybe some AI application) but haven’t thought of a reason most customers need this extra speed. Would be interested in hearing others thoughts on what possibilities it will open up. 
    It will be several years before 5G provides any real benefits to the typical user. The 5G rolling out (Non-mmWave) now is essentially LTE-A. Carriers are just using a software update to light up 5G. It’s all built on LTE equipment and network core.  5G handsets can handle wider channels, but its pointless because there isn’t even enough spectrum to take advantage of it.  5G allows for 100MHz channels vs 20MHz for LTE. However LTE can bundle 5x 20’s into a 100MHz channel. TMUS is only deploying 20MHz and AT&T might be 40 or little more.  The low frequencies are crowded and there isn’t hardly any free spectrum. The mmWave 5G is super fast because it handles carriers as wide as  200-500MHz or more. There is plenty of mmWave spectrum because nobody has never wanted to use it since it only works outside and if you are within few hundred meters. 

    The big promise is latency improvements but that won’t happen until 5G runs on its own network opposed to LTE. 5G core will enable more robust features as it will use AI and machine learning to optimize network in real time.

  • Apple facing class action lawsuit over alleged iTunes & Apple Music data sale

    turley mullerturley muller
    Garbage. Apple isn’t selling this data. When an app requires you to sign up to use it, they can match your email address with data that has already been collected for it. If you use Facebook or Google to create an account they really got you.  Look at the privacy settings in iOS. There is one for iTunes Media library. It says these apps have requested access to your media library.  For any apps that have requested and been granted access are possible culprits.  

    Totally illogical to think a company with 260B in annual sales would sell its users data for a few million. For app developers it could be a lot of money. And there are lots of apps that are just guises to collect their users data. Apple requires them to ask the user for it. But how many read fine ? and if they even did, it’s always vague and ambiguous. Last, if Apple were selling user data, how would that not get out ? Tim Cook and others would be tossed in prison for defrauding customers and investors. It would be a layup since Apple uses its stance on privacy to  benefit from more sales and higher stock price.
