I think if there's any time Apple would switch to their own ARM designed chips for Macs, it's now. This along with Intel slowing down from their Tick-Tock schedule will probably do it.

I think it will remain relevant anyway as long as people keep using it.

Do any of those businesses want to sell their products to Americans? Maybe they can sell different SKUs with those capabilities but they'll have to do it for every market they sell to because the US won't be the only government th

I'm pretty sure if Congress passes legislation mandating it they can influence plenty of non-American businesses by withholding their ability to do business in the US.

Huh. The fact that Apple are the only ones that can sign software that runs on an iPhone may just allow them to defeat the DoJ in court. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-02-24/apple-fbi-... Apple h

The high profile nature of this court case will ultimately be leveraged into getting Congress to take it up if they lose. I think Apple has a very good case for arguing under AWA that the order is too burdensome, and if the court doesn&#x27

This is an interesting filing from the DOJ because they somehow seem incredulous that a private business would have commercial interests. In fact it probably hurts their commercial interests and brand for the reason you stated.

Apple has told reporters off the record that the FBI could make the same demands for Secure Enclave equipped iPhones, probably because the Secure Enclave can be updated. That's why they're making their stand in this case. In the f

This is amazingly low considering that they have 80% of global market share of an incredibly large and fast growing product that almost everyone in the world will own.

This isn't patent trolling. Apple and Ericsson had a license agreement and when it ended they couldn't agree on a new price and went to court about it. They've now reached a price they both agree to in this settlement.

The old 4 quadrants of products was for an early 2000s Apple that staved off bankruptcy, not 2015 Apple that uses its supply chain mastery as a competitive advantage.

Those apps would never be featured by Apple so they would only be seen if they were searched for. They also wouldn't get the downloads to dominate the top charts. So unless your apps are at the same level, you're not going to be i

"Crappy apps" is your characterization but I suspect is a red herring. In fact most of the developers I follow who complain about the App Stores seem to point to everything except the real reason, that there's more competitio

You're basically just arguing that there's too much competition. Unless you have a truly differentiated product you should expect prices to tend to zero.

The best thing that could happen to the Apple TV was the small collapse in media stocks over the summer. That was a turning point for media companies to seriously consider new over the top services that bypass cable, until then they weren&#

Anyone know how to disable those Facebook notifications that say "Do you know X?". Can't find it in the options at all. Feels like an attempt to get engagement.
