  • Apple's services business booms amid continued reports of weak iPhone X demand

    humble to listen to customers is better than arrogance like I know better. If I am Apple, I would make that 6.1" LCD iPhone X with thin across top bezel to cover sensors/camera etc.Rest of iPhone X is awesome.
    Lectures Apple on humbleness.
    Follows up with “if I am Apple I would...”

    I’m sure our resident Google sycophant will be along shortly to rebut this nonsense.  >:)

    When Samsung fails to impress, Android fans just keep sheepishly buying Samsung phones  because what else are they gonna do? Switch to iPhone?

    When Apple fails to impress, Android fans  threaten to quit the iPhone and switch to Samsung in online forums because they think it will convince someone in the forums.

    No major design change from last year, right? and this is how the WSJ frames it:

    "Last year's Galaxy S8 was a particular gem of a device, glassy and stark with that 'infinity display' stretching almost entirely across the front. [...] So why change anything? Nine versions in, Samsung feels it has landed on the right design for its Galaxy S phones. A company spokeswoman compared Samsung's approach to the way a luxury car maker might build new models: Nip and tuck, but don't change what people already love."

    ...yet trolls and haters were losing their goddam minds when Apple didn't make drastic changes for change's sake on the iPhones. Hmmm.
    Evolution in design:
    samsung: “don’t change it’s already perfect”
    apple: “shocking decline Jony Ive should be fired”

  • Supply chain makes claim that Apple is already planning to ditch the iPhone X notch in fal...

    Weren't there supply chain rumours not that long ago that the iPhoneX was going to be discontinued? I mean it's possible that Apple will eliminate the notch, but these types of sources don't have a stellar record. And 18 months out, it's all speculation at this point. I suspect Apple themselves haven't made any firm decisions about this one way or the other just yet. I suspect Apple may very well be experimenting with notch less displays. But experimentation is a long way from saying that Apple has decided.
    The supply chain is 100% accurate 18 months in advance because that’s how far ahead they have access to next year’s iPhone hardware design. They get the hardware design and sit on it for 16 months, then begin production 2 months before Sept 2019. Also, Apple shares all its secrets with their manufacturing partners this far in advance. Meanwhile, in the real world.
