  • Review: Apple's 2017 10.5" iPad Pro stuns with 120Hz ProMotion display

    I don't care what they do to improve the iPad. If you gave me one I'd sell it off to buy the latest Plus version of the iPhone 

    An iPad is a useless device to me.
    Then don't get one. Duh!
    Why waste time responding to a troll who doesn't even value their own time?

    Just a quick note: I am using an iPhone 7 Plus here in Europe, and it does have the CE Logo on the back.

    Is the logo that big? MY US phone does not have the CE logo on it, which is kind of odd since Apple would not have different products for different markets> Most electronics today have all the label they need for all the markets.
    My US iPhone has the CE and other logos (except for the #), almost as large. However, the color of the print does not pop like it does in that photo, making it much less visible.
    I just verified my phone again, it does not have any logo, it has in very small print the FCC ID # and the Model number that is it. and I have 6S so Apple is obviously change it over time.

    This photo is of my iPhone 6S purchased in the UK.  It clearly has the CE logo.

    Hmm... Fandroids infesting this site seem to be conveniently quiet at the moment.  They must be firing-up their spinning machines to fabricate some kind of fake-news on how this benchmark is somehow flawed or staged.
    LOL.

    I think you will find that absolutely nobody cares. Not even in the slightest.

    The value (if there is any) is in the graph. The rest is of little value to anyone (not even the iPhone fanatics).

    We are always reminded that no SD storage on iPhones is a non issue
    The same applies to speed. No one would switch because of the results presented here.
    When you can't win the argument find some other straw man to beat: complain about iPhones lacking SD slots in relation to a story comparing phone speeds.

    People do indeed care when their phones are too slow in completing tasks or even switching on.  I've personally had problems with Android devices being too slow with activating the camera or even co-ordinating camera and flash together.

    Google is a one horse dog and pony show. Gets most of it revenue from one product advertising revenue ......Google is DOOMED. DOOMED I tell ya. 
    Wall Street doesn't think so.  Alphabet has a much higher valued P/E than Apple and I'm fairly certain Google Search will go unchallenged by everyone.  Youtube shows no sign of letting up.  The highest praise goes to Google's Android for having such huge market share percentage.  The usual talk is how the iPhone is losing to Android and eventually Android will obliterate iOS.  I'm fairly certain Wall Street sees Alphabet as a much stronger growth entity than it sees Apple.  This is not my opinion but I think I'm in the minority.  Wall Street sees Alphabet's one-trick pony (search/ad) as more powerful than Apple's one-trick pony (iPhone).  P/Es don't lie.  All the FANG stocks put Apple to shame in terms of P/E and share gains.  Those are the stocks the big investors are betting on to crush Apple into powder.

    Enron Scandal: The Fall of a Wall Street Darling
    Enron Corp. is a company that reached dramatic heights, only to face a dizzying collapse. The story ends with the bankruptcy of one of America's largest corporations.

    Where Wall Street went wrong
    Enron was in bad shape for a long time, but analysts kept beating the drum.

    Analysts certainly shouldn't have had a problem reading the writing -- it stood out like graffiti. Yet as recently as last week [November 22 2001], more than half of the 15 analysts following the company rated the stock at least a buy: Six had Enron (ENE: down $0.25 to $0.36, ResearchEstimates) a strong buy and two a buy, according to First Call. Yeah, and the Titanic was supposed to be unsinkable. 

    Enron was one of the most widely hyped stocks of 2000, climbing 88.6 percent in an otherwise brutal market. Goldman Sachs market guru Abby Joseph Cohen sang the stock's praises. The stock was widely held in mutual funds of prominent money management firms like Janus, Alliance and AIM. Even as the stock of the energy trading firm started to trade more like a technology stock than a stodgy utility company, few questioned the valuation.

    As for Apple being a one trick pony, if Apple were to go insane and close its iPhone division today it'll still be large enough to be a Fortune 100 company from the remaining Macs and Services division.
