The MacBook Pro comes with Intel Iris graphics which is not the same as Intel HD. The Kaby Lake chips that Apple uses in the MBP aren't out yet.

Can't edit my post but it should have been $7. This is a good blog post [1] to understand the economics of bundling. It's straight out of every 2nd year microeconomics textbook. [1] http://cdixon.org/2012/07&#

Would you spend $25-35 per month for ESPN? Because that's what it would probably cost if it wasn't subsidized by the bundle. Your answer to that question may in fact be yes, but the economics don't work out. Disney would make

Sports is the thing that holds the cable bundle together. If that gives, the whole thing will fall apart. Right now the economics for content owners favors bundling (example: Disney forces cable companies to take a bunch of other channels w

Couldn't believe that was the price. Do they honestly believe this is going to sell? This really just shows you what a bargain the 5K iMac is.

4 years is right on schedule for redesigns of the Macbook Pro. Not sure how the current narrative about Macs being neglected got started, but they're not behind at all if you look at the previous cadence between redesigns. The Macbook

The parent implies that it will eventually drive the margins down. If you're saying that commodification has already taken place then it's even more impressive that Apple's line of computers can still command a premium and in

by IBM 10y ago
If this were true Apple shouldn't be able to sell computers for a premium, and yet they do. 40 years should have been enough for commodification to take effect.

You missed my point, which was that Google Now can't do the things Siri can on iOS. This is important because Apple has aggregated a large and highly valuable user base. Contrary to your claim otherwise, this user base makes 2 billion

by IBM 10y ago
It certainly doesn't do everything Siri does on iOS devices, because it can't. Apple's hand won't be forced because no one buys an Android device over an iPhone/iPad because Siri doesn't do the same things Goog

I would say almost all of Apple's acquisitions are acquihires and for intellectual property but I don't see how that has any relation to how long it takes to integrate the people/tech into existing products. My guess is as go

I'm not sure what "clunky UI" you need to interact with, you can play music without touching your phone. You literally just say "Hey Siri, play Two Weeks by FKA Twigs" and it will begin playing. It shows your reques

It's not clear if the acquisitions they've made in the past have been integrated into any of their products yet. It's certainly within the realm of possibility to wake up one day and use a new and better Siri. http:/&#x

The only reason to inform both accounts is if you believe the developer's story about his relative using the account (which is a "my dog ate the homework" excuse) and that Apple needs to explore every possible edge case scena

What makes you think they've shared all the ways that they were linked? The guy on the phone call may have just listed a couple of them when he was trying to establish with Kapeli what the ground truth was, that these accounts were lin

by IBM 10y ago
It matters what they think or believe because you said >Apple representative states there was no wrongdoing on Kapeli's side. which is a misrepresentation of what the Apple rep said on the call.

by IBM 10y ago
The Apple representative told him he doesn't need to admit to any wrongdoing which is different from saying they believe there was no wrongdoing on Kapeli's part.

They also told him that, from their perspective, the two accounts belong to the same entity because they have the same payment details and test devices. There was no reason for them to know that this developer purchased an account for someo

His calling is definitely writing. It would have been a shame if he stayed in banking and didn't end up at Bloomberg. I'm not sure how he ended up doing that because there's probably almost no chance he's making more mon

This report refers to the earlier Bloomberg report but basically contradicts it [1]. In that report they said the strategy was shifting towards making the underlying tech for self-driving rather than a car, but that never made any sense to

Spotify is a money losing operation that artists already criticize heavily because they make pennies from it (because most users are on the free tier and ad revenue is much smaller than paid subscriptions)[1]. They have deep pocketed compet
