  • Lesser-known Android phone makers copy look of Apple's iPhone X

    Absolutely said this would happen right after Apple introduced the notch, because it was way to boost sales from people who wanted to act like they had iPhone. Samsung should have been sued out of existence.

  • Chinese counterfeiter made over $1.1M trafficking phony iPhones, iPads in US

    I have been telling US companies to stop sending production to China for lower MFG costs for 25 years. In every case the Chinese duplicate the facilities and become their new competitor and practically force them out of business. I think you can get almost all software costing more than $20,000 for nothing there.

    My understanding is they are all over China, can you imagine how many phones Apple would really sell.

    People here seem to have short attention spans.  Apple had its fair share of hardware issues on MacBooks from GPU frying, to flickering displays, and such. 

    I also clearly remember that many that exhibited problems with their MacBooks that were one day past warranty were screwed by Apple.  They are much better now, but still.

    I'm in the middle of this.  If you buy a laptop, it's not excessive to expect your very expensive MacBook to provide years of dependable service. If you buy one, and it craps out the day after your warranty, technically it's not Apple's problem, even though you paid a kings ransom for it.  However, if this problem is indicative of something larger that affects a large group of people, a manufacturer should fess up and admit that there was a problem and fix it, even if it's past its warranty - to a degree of course.  

    Apple is much better at this now partly because it's such a high-profile company that is viewed under a monstrous magnifying glass so it doesn't want bad PR.

    Let's see if Microsoft steps up as well.  It sucks to spend that kind of money only to have it fail right after the warranty after regular use.  That's unacceptable.

    Can you imagine if your new car essentially fails to work after immediately after the warranty, and then realize that many more people experience the same thing with that model?  There would be an uproar.
    Unfortunately, that is the case somebody correct me if I am wrong but there are probably millions of cars on the road with faulty air bags from Takata? that when deployed have killed or seriously injured people and haven't been replaced by dealerships because they just don't have the replacements yet.
