Apple doesn't even know what's possible next year that's why they're DEVELOPING new products.

Or does Ming actually believe the iPhone team finished the X2 and are taking a year long vacation?

I do like that it Apple is getting into the business arena. The only problem I see is that the diehard pc users might not like that those macs are not upgradable, like there PC the other would be why are they 2-3 times more costly then there old pc’s. At first they will like them, but within less then a yr they will be wanting their old pc’s back. I speak from experience, we went from pc’s to mac’s but like I said in less then a yr. the rumble with and inside IT lead to management going back to PC’s even for the graphic folks.

every place i worked in the last 15 yrs recycle the pc every 2 to 3 yrs, Dell and HP convinced IT department to lease laptop not buy them so they can turned them over ever 2 yrs and not to deal with the problems of an aging PC. PC usually cost companies more over time, yes the up front cost are low, but long term cost are high. The problem is the people in IT never took finance course can do not understand the real costs of a PC to a company.

Can I please please please simply have unbiased articles focused on Apple products on this page? An article that not only talks one-sided about the flaws of a competitor product but also about where Apple would be well-advised to catch up.

According to Google, these are unedited photos and videos from the Pixel 2. The Dynamic Range, the Optical Stabilizer, the portrait mode - these features are shockingly good if the photos are real.

I want a small factor phone and don’t want to compromise on the camera. This leaves me with Pixel 2 (649$) vs. iPhone X (999$). If compared this way, the Pixel doesn’t look that overpriced anymore. I still haven’t decided. My wish: that Apple implements all the camera features, that the Pixel 2 currently does better, into their 2018 iPhone 11

i have never been this close to switch to an Android device. I have the feeling more and more are open for a switch and that should be a warning to Apple to remain innovative.

My opinion on Tim is based on his performance.

When he makes good decisions I praise him.

When he makes bad decisions I bash him. Would it be better if I ALWAYS praised his decisions? That would be silly.

In 2016 I had serious doubts if Tim could lead this company effectively. But since then he has proven himself.  I've never asked him to be fired since then. But I still will question his decisions if necessary.  As a shareholder I am effectively Tim Cook's boss.  So criticizing him is well in my rights.
