  • Apple's claims about M1 Mac speed 'shocking,' but 'extremely plausible'

    “Apple will never leave Intel”
    “Okay, so they might dump Intel, but they’ll go to AMD.”
    “Okay, they’re going to use an A14! How will that compete with AMD?”
    “OKAY, BUT ANDROID STILL HAS THE BIGGLIEST MARKETSHARE!”

    I think that covers everything. 

    And we can see with our own eyes here, the theme of this thread has quickly turned to throwing shade on the M1 before it’s even in user’s hands. Those whose agenda is to throw shade, FUD, and confusion on everything Apple will be out in force next week as machines arrive in user’s hands. These are the same ones who call some of us fanboys while they are the exact opposite of fanboy. You don't have street cred here unless you dump on Apple at every opportunity. Being positive about Apple is taboo. Only negativity rules the day in Apple tech blogs.
    It's the MacRumorisation of AI, it's been in the works for some time, just this thread (like MR) the first post is negative - they compete to be the first to hold that position.

  • Facebook-owned Instagram also chafing at Apple's App Store control

    williamlondonwilliamlondon
    So, Apple protects consumers from people who want to manipulate them into handing over their hard-earned money for things they neither need nor want, and Instagram (and others) calls that "having an immense amount of power." Huh? How anti-consumer, right?!

    How does that even pass the sniff test of rationality? Must be the 'greed' filter through which they view life.

    F*ck them, and hope their stupid platforms burn to the ground.

    Nanaimo?! Canadian friend of mine introduced me to a lovely bar dessert couple of years ago, delicious! Total aside, apologies for straying from topic, but couldn't help myself. :-)

    Hint: customers don’t like greedy companies.
    Customers like good products and Apple seems to be meeting those demands, pretty much better than all other companies, so they either disagree with you or they don't care as much as you think.

    And make no money in the process, great recipe for success.

    Perhaps you should stop projecting your own issues onto Apple, its customers and its success, you're really not doing your own credibility here any favours by commenting on business success factors that are refuted so easily by reality. Pricing, product strategy and customer satisfaction aren't the armchair CEO's forte.
    They will care when they loose a big healthy customer base.

    Apple did extremely well before this money grab. This will backfire. How many will return?
    "Apple doom and gloom," one of the internet troll's favourite epithets to hurl. You definitely have a bright future ahead of you in the financial analyst industry, given how astute you seem to be with sales and customer predictions.
    I just listen to the ground. My troll tip for you is that there is a Lot less iPhone sales this quarter.
    You think that proves something? Other than progressing the silly narrative of yours that you are spreading here like shit on shingles, your "inside information" means nothing that you think it means.
