  • Judge dismisses motion to halt Qualcomm's potential iPhone import ban

    nunzy said:
    Judge Koh should recuse herself. She hates Apple and loves Scamdung. She is prejudiced.
    Maybe she tried to apply for a job at Apple but got rejected. Hahaha

  • Analyst downgrades Apple stock, because iPhone X is too popular

    I am seriously laughing at journalism nowadays...

    Here’s some facts just looking at a small sampling size (around 20 family and close buddies):

    75% still on iPhone 7 and before.
    15% on iPhone 8/8 Plus (due to cost of X, including my partner)
    10% on iPhone X (including me)

    What’s the estimate of them upgrading to the next iPhone (2018)?

  • Slow progress on common smartphone charger initiative may get extra EU push

    EU is getting too nosy. I will not want to downgrade to those cheapo high risk chargers where corners are cut so badly that puts we, consumers at risk. Look at the number of electrical-induced fires in my country due largely to those cheapo low quality chargers across diverse appliances, PMD, etc.

    EU, if u wanna do it, do it by raising the bar of all lower grade chargers to meet those of high standards like Apple's. Not the other way round!

  • Class action claims all Apple Watches are defective

    Seriously? Design defect?

    I am still wearing daily what is known as Series 0 since its launch (it’s even the initial launch day batch) and where I am located, the average climate is 32 degree C and high humidity. My partner has the same Series 0 though she wears it less frequently as I do. Even every single relative and friends and colleagues who have since gone out to get themselves either a Series 1 or 2 or 3, none of them have experience the issues mentioned in the article.

    I have even bath with Series 0 on a few rare occasions when I forgotten I was wearing it and step into the shower. Till date, it is still working well despite not being certified as water resistant.

  • Apple considers cheaper HomePod in face of lackluster sales

    Not surprised at all. It's a nice piece of hardware, with a REALLY lousy voice assistant, and Apple chose to keep out 3rd party streaming like Spotify, which IMHO was a HUGE mistake. That omission alone is hindering sales, probably significantly. You can't expect people to pay top dollar for this thing just because it sounds good - with Siri being so lacking, and so many people preferring Spotify as their streamer of choice, this thing was bound to stumble.
    Pardon me. I think with all new products and features, Apple usually keep 3rd parties out in the first one to two years before the API is ready and open up to 3rd parties. Look at Siri when it was launched. Look at CarPlay when it was launched. Look at Touch ID when it was launched. Just to name a few. Slow for API to be ready and open up does not mean it is not going to open up.
