Batteries (at a price) can be replaced, poor productivity costs more. what they did was extend the useful life of the device with fewer interruptions due to sudden shutdown from an aging battery, a physical property of batteries that cannot be avoided. *lots* of products do the same or similar. |

Anyone who wants to own their device doesn't buy Apple. Interestingly, this time they're deciding to back down. Maybe they're scared at the shocking lack of interest in iPhone 10. (Along with the trickle of articles pointing out that a surprising percentage of the public is not falling for the idiocy of computer watches.) Whatever the case, they're now offering to provide battery replacements at a greatly reduced charge, in an effort to convince people that they meant well and weren't just scamming them. Their apology is not very convincing, given that they've aparently refused to answer complaints for years and only now, facing numerous lawsuits, have they admitted to slowing down phones. That doesn't sound like a company that meant well. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-42508300 On the other hand, the Apple fans I know are probably not disturbed. It's their money. |

(Along with the trickle of articles pointing out that a surprising percentage of the public is not falling for the idiocy of computer watches.) even more nonsense. http://www.businessinsider.com/how-t...ecame-the-numb er-one-watch-in-the-world-2017-9 The company's CEO Tim Cook told attendees that the tech giant now sells the number one watch in the world, leapfrogging Rolex in the process. Cook also said the Watch saw stunning 50% year over year sales growth in August.* you must take pride in being *so* very wrong for just about everything. |

Just because I own an iPhone8+ doesn't mean I am a target customer. yet you bought one. https://appleinccasestudy.weebly.com/apples-target-market.html what a complete crock. it lists young kids, teenagers, college students and adults as the target market. in other words, everyone. elsewhere on the 'case study' site: https://appleinccasestudy.weebly.com/apple-competition.html € Macintosh software is found only on Mac Books i guess she is oblivious of imacs, mac minis, mac pros, as well as older powerbooks, ibooks, powermacs, etc., some of which she even lists elsewhere on the site. € touch screen macs do not have a touch screen. only ios devices do. the comparison is mac versus pc, so instant fail. € based more on graphic design and music nonsense. € does not include Microsoft programs older macs did include microsoft apps and it's trivial to install them if not there. € expensive also wrong. however, the best part are these two gems: € physical materials are shipped from the same manufacturer (Intel) processors are not called 'physical materials' and windows pcs use intel *or* amd processors. € both use basic binary system both use basic binary system??? are you ****ing kidding me? whoever wrote this garbage is an idiot. |

The newspaper didn¹t identify its source or elaborate on what sort of orders had been pulled, or how it arrived at that number.*An Apple spokeswoman declined to comment. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-a...res-drop-on-ip hone-8-demand-worries-idUSKBN1CO1E7 (Reuters) - Apple Inc¹s shares fell nearly 3 percent on Thursday on signs of weak demand for the iPhone 8 that caused analysts and investors to question the company¹s staggered release strategy for its latest phones. Wireless carriers in the United States and Canada have reported slow third-quarter customer upgrades. While some expect a pickup after the iPhone X goes on sale in November, others cautioned that phone¹s high price tag could weigh on demand. after apple's november earnings call: https://www.cnbc.com/2017/11/02/apple-earnings-q4-2017.html € Apple reported quarterly earnings on Thursday that were above expectations, and revenue that topped estimates. € The iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus "instantly" became Apple's top two selling products at launch, chief executive Tim Cook said on a conference call. .... "The iPhone X orders are very strong for both direct customers and for .... carriers throughout the world," Cook said. "The first sales started in Australia, and I'm told we had several hundred people waiting at the store in Sydney, and I'm getting similar reports from across that region." You really ought to distinguish fact from opinion. You would gain a lot of respect, if you did. what i said is fact. |
