  • 2020 iPad Pro's A12Z shows little improvement over 2018's A12X in early benchmarks

    The interim model is now the previous one and not the reverse.

    It's an interim model, if you don't need the extra cameras and you have a working iPad then there's no point getting this one. I'm waiting for the model with Mini-LED screen

    When Steve Jobs announced the iPhone in 2007 the entire smartphone industry chuckled. Analysts said there was no way the iPhone could make it in a mature market dominated by Nokia and RIM. Steve Ballmer laughed too. We all know what happened. Now come new competitors and they are finding out the hard way those predictions about the smartphone market are just as true to day. They can't replicate the success of the iPhone and fall by the wayside.

    these were the headlines. Marketing. They were saying “we are competing against OS X in a phone”, search for Palm execs sayings. S. jobs said “we are ahead of 5 years”. Also marketing, but he was right (and he had to drop the price for the gizmo to catch up)

    It's a welcome change, sure you can decry all these companies, but if they're following the "rules", then it's the rules that need to change. Otherwise each company is arbitrarily making up their own ideas for whom they should be paying tax. And let's be frank, all of these countries want reasons for the tax to land in their pocket rather, so without clarity there will always be conflicts in interpretation, these rules need to come the top.
    I want to have an important part of my huge salary as waiter in a restaurant taxed in Ireland as I’ve come up with my dream job idea in a pub in Dublin. But the taxman does not accept my BEPS argument. Sad, but the law is not equal for all.

  • Ex-Apple designers detail how the original iPad was created

    I believe that also innovation is driven by available technology against what’s available as a product and right now there is not some “gap” as it was in 2007 with multitouch. “We are five years ahead of everyone else”. For whatever (technological) reason no one is able to create that gap as of now and every single product looks very similar to whatever we already have.

    What Apple do on tax avoidance is embarrassing, at least
