Apple is still working on last-minute deals with content providers for streaming video ser...
So Apple is on the cusp of finally joining the rest of the many TV Streaming services. Other than it might be more convenient to use, I can't imagine it will be substantively better for channel offerings or price compared to any given service (e.g. Playstation Vue).

Sharp drop in Chinese smartphone sales portends bad news for Apple
Yesterday AI posted, "iPhone interest in China going 'from bad to worse" today we get a near identical doom and gloom post.
To put things in context, just one year ago from the South China Morning Post; "Apple’s China sales grow for second straight quarter on strong iPhone demand...Mainland Chinese consumers had accounted for about a third of all iPhone users globally, according to research firm Newzoo. It estimated the mainland had 243 million iPhone users as of July last year, which made up 33 per cent of the worldwide total of 728 million in that period."
So to expect infinite massive growth is irrational and I'm guessing any company not named Apple would be feted for such sales numbers even half that.

Rarely use AirDrop much less have any reason to dig into the settings and change the default to everyone; must be a terrible problem in the Big Apple.
