>Mac sales were up in 2016, once again outpacing the PC industry as a whole, and the new MacBook Pros are a hit, with sales up “about 20 percent” year over year. Brutal to all the MBP hot takes from this fall. Here's a good running

Workflow can only be better if its integrated in the OS. They've also made the app free and said it's staying in the store. I don't think it will be pulled (if ever) until it's integrated.

Apple is not a big company. Out of the 116k employees they have 60k are in retail [1]. Another 6k are in AppleCare call centers [2]. So about 50k of them are at corporate. Contrast that with Google which has 72k employees [3] and Microsoft

I don't understand, if it would be worth a lot more than $20 billion to someone why aren't they bidding for it? I find it hard to believe that anyone is going to sink $20 billion to "prevent others from using it".

It likely won't be for Apple exclusively and it's certainly not the only source of displays for Apple. Several suppliers are investing in OLED production in order to meet Apple's supply requirements.

This is a good reason for Apple to avoid going further down market. With 43% market share [1] they're unlikely to be considered to have monopoly power by courts [2]: >Following Alcoa and American Tobacco, courts typically have requi

There's 23 years between the Macintosh in 1984 and the iPhone in 2007. Real paradigm shifts in computing are rare. People who think the iPhone is going to be supplanted by whatever en vogue technology is being hyped in the media today

Kind of feels like an ad for Pearl they agreed to publish in exchange for anecdotes about working at Apple. The Apple PR statement at the end made me laugh for some reason: “Pearl Auto is a great example of the creativity and innovation dri

That's possible but it's also likely that he didn't mention the Mac Pro or Mac Mini because those haven't been updated lately so it would just come off as out of touch to talk it up.
