  • Apple Mac sales slip in Q2 despite new hardware launches

    www.apple.com/newsroom/pdfs/Q2FY17DataSummary.pdf

    We're talking here about Q2 2017 not about Q2 of Apple's financial year 2017. 
    You do know the difference?

  • Apple nixes video glitch repair program for 2011 MacBook Pros

    Interesting. I assume the reason behind the decision is that they think the Repair Extension Program costs to much money and the number of new cases is small enough so they can get away with that.  

    Yes, I own a 2011 Mac Book Pro.... :/

  • Apple awards glassmaker Corning $200M to grow made in USA jobs with Advanced Manufacturing...

    Well, "As a non US customer" you certainly are "missing something", namely: American citizenship, and the accompanying pride and excitement this American citizen is feeling for my country under the leadership of President Trump.
    I'm definitly not missing to live under Trump's kakistocracy!

  • Apple awards glassmaker Corning $200M to grow made in USA jobs with Advanced Manufacturing...

    "Corning is a great example of a supplier that has continued to innovate and they are one of Apple's long-standing suppliers. This partnership started 10 years ago with the very first iPhone, and today every customer that buys an iPhone or iPad anywhere in the world touches glass that was developed in America. We're extremely proud of our collaboration over the years and we are investing further with Corning who has such a rich legacy of innovative manufacturing practices."

    As a non US customer I'm missing something like "Corning is our supplier because their product is the best". Otherwise Apple should use the alkali aluminosilicate glass from whoever is the best.

  • Apple's iPhone 7 was world's best-selling smartphone in first quarter of 2017

    Interesting!
    The Galaxy S - for years # 2 in the market - slipped at least to # 6 shipping under 5 m.
    Oppo sold at least 8.8 m smartphones > $400. That's a third of all their shipments. BKK must be pleased...

    BTW:
    Apple's numbers for iPhone are allways shipments.
    If you want to know how many iPhones were really sold you have to listen to the financial report telco where Cook/Maestri add information about channel inventory.
    Apple Q1/17: 50.8 m shipped, 1.2 m drop in channel inventory, 52.0 m sold.
