  • It doesn't matter that Apple's 'iPhone 8' may not support 4G Gigabit LTE or 5G

    If Apple thinks people are going to shell out $1000 for a new phone that isn't as fast as the Samsung phone that was released months ago then they need a new management team. Maybe a $80 billion dollar loss in market cap in two days of trading will clue them into how serious a problem this is. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that someone at Qualcomm is the source of the Bloomberg article, but regardless, Apple needs to fix this now!
    And if iPhone 8 does support it, Apple will pay higher royalties to Qualcomm.  That will cut into profit margin.  Apple has an obsession with profit margin, by the way.

    Apple is feeling the pressure.  The army of Android phone manufacturers are upping the hardware specs here and there. Apple releases two models each year.  Apple cannot put all the advanced components in two iPhones.  This gives Android phones bragging right of beating iPhone, Maybe Apple needs to announce more than two new iPhones each year?

    It's a year newer, what do you expect?
    You expect to keep the same at least, or increase the available SSD space. Reducing it is really stingy, like they reduced the iMac Fusion drives from 128GB SSD to 24. That'll be Cook's beancounter approach shining through. 
    You have absolutely no clue if Tim is the one that specifically pushed or encouraged this- in all probability he didn't, and it was the marketing team to decided to create more differentiation this way. I'm sure he has better things to do than dictate how much storage and memory goes into each model. But hey, don't let that spoil that comfortable little narrative that you've created for yourself. I also like that people seem to have a selective memory- Steve Jobs wasn't exactly generous with components either, and I see no evidence that Cook is any worse. I guess SJ was also a "bean-counter".
    I think Jobs on the other hand would have cared about those little details that Cook doesn't have time to deal with.
    Little details such as what?
    Jobs was famous for his attention to detail bordering on pedantry, risking accusations of obsession. On the other hand, he didn't put much priority on getting Personal Affirmation by receiving gongs at gatherings of the great and good either.

    What Jobs would have done, is make a real big deal about reducing the cost for the MBP, all without sacrificing quality (we reduced the price while speeding it up!) and tie it in with the discontinuation of the MBA. Thus it would have been to a price point, say $999 (for the next generation of Macheads: the ultimate school notebook). The RDF would descend and then no one would have cared about the 128gb SSD, and sung hallelujah. -and the MBA would be properly replaced rather than hanging around to die of dementia and sad neglect.
    Jobs has a keen feeling of numbers. When he introduced the iPhone to the world, he spent a lot of time explaining why 3.5" is best. Then for 3GS, he invented retina display. The whole Android copycats followed his advice faithfully since. There are numerous other examples that can be explained in terms of his focus on associating numbers to user experiences. 

    The people in the world can be divided into this characteristics, knowing the meaning of numbers and not. Learning mathematics does not make a person knowing the meaning of numbers. To a person that does not like numbers 3.5" or retina display have no meaning.

    HomePod won't be a mass selling device.  HomePad can only play Apple Music. And Apple Music has only 27 million paid subscribers.  Apple is getting greedy and greedy.  No wonder AAPL is downgraded today. 
    Let's see:
    1. HomePod won't be a mass selling device. I kinda agree, iPhone is not a mass selling device either compare to Android. Your point is?
    2. HomePad can only play Apple Music. You are wrong on this one, get the fact straight.
    3. And Apple Music has only 27 million paid subscribers. When you said 'only' next to 27 million, you sound like a douche. Any companies would kill to have that number of paid subs. Obviously Apple won't stop at 27 million either.
    4. No wonder AAPL is downgraded today. And it will upgraded again tomorrow or day after tomorrow, that's nothing wrong for shares to be up and down.
    3. Apple Music is a failure just like iTunes is a failure. Netflix has dwarfed Apple. iBook Store is also a failure,  Look at Amazon. Apple fails on almost every content services.
