  • Earnings preview: Wall Street expects record $77.4B revenue in Apple's best quarter in his...

    Without feeling smug, I'll certainly feel a slight sense of pride in having helped Apple to a record earnings quarter... because although it's taken me a long time - and I mean a long time, being an old-age pensioner (apparently) - a month ago I finally bought an iPhone for my pocket, instead of relying on that old-fashioned 'thing in a cradle with alpha-numerical push buttons' on my desktop, which always had so many missed calls in it's limited memory.

    So yeh... although I started with a Mac IIVX back in the early '90s and only upgraded every half-decade or so, I suppose every bit helps... and, the iPhone is now giving me itchy feelings to go for an Apple Watch sooner rather than later! Like millions of others I feel, and benefit from, Apple's 'halo' effect... so fuck the anal-ists manipulative predictions!
    Okay, you jumped on Apple before me but I got in at Centris 610 and didn't look back. I just purchase Apple Watch 2 about 2 months ago so I could play basketball with wireless headset but a bad heart valve stopped me from ever trying. Open heart surgery fixed my Mitral valve but following surgery my heart went into Aphib(racing heart beat) from 140-180bpm. I went to ER and found that the Apple Watch was within 1bpm of Hospital's device. The Aphib condition is quite normal for open heart surgeries but the Apple Watch became an awesome tool for checking to see if my heart was racing or not, just by asking SIRI to check my heart rate and it showing previous and real time rates.

    If President Trump is going all out to support American companies than it's time to flex some muscle and get behind Apple if no other reason than the huge tax revenue to this country

  • Apple rivals Samsung & LG aiming for foldable phones by end of 2017

    Even if the phone screen is thin the power requirement is nearly the same and thus you may be able to disconnect it from a substantially larger power supply for a minute but then you only have a useful phone for a few minutes. Wireless power maybe a solution but you would need to make it portable or have many locations installed

  • Apple working with Consumer Reports on MacBook Pro battery findings, says Phil Schiller

    metrixmetrix
    My guess is they ran one test using Safari and the others using Chrome. Chrome seems act like an application with a memory leak. Just my 2 cents.
    It really makes no sense since Apple has dominated battery life in laptops for years and I mean years.

  • Apple has 'great desktops' on Mac roadmap, CEO Tim Cook says

    As a long long time Apple fan and supporter I think it's time they get their a** in gear. You know Microsoft is making nothing on their Surface computers because of such low volume. I would like to see Apple spend more time with performance and a little less on design, and it's okay to let iPhone support some Pro sales.
