Do you have any evidence to back up your assertion?

They stopped doing that multiple quarters ago because it wasn't growing and they want investors to focus on other parts of the business and not just the iPhone. If you believe the strategy laid out in the parent comment to yours, then

There is a clear use case for the iPad, it just depends on if that use case justifies the price for an additional device. The iPad is the best portable device for reading (besides a kindle), watching entertainment, or using an Apple Pencil.

How is this different than Walmart, Target, or name any grocery store offering their branded version of products in order to drive down prices?

Idk why it didn't work for you but I have both my bank account and credit card on mint and like you I pay it off fully each month. Each transaction on my credit card shows on my budget. When I pay off my credit card, a transaction show

The only other big example I know of is Basecamp.

This has literally always been the case for the history of software. Unless you're willing to tell me an operating system is a low-code solution, building software has always been about obfuscating the frustrating parts to focus on the

Microsoft didn't miss the boat on either web or mobile, they were one of the first to both. They just fundamentally misunderstood the value proposition of each because of how successful they were with Windows on the desktop. For the we

I used to do this as well until it got to the point where family members would get upset if I didn't like or post a comment on something they posted. I left facebook because it was only a negative in my life.

You could argue this puts Netflix in a great position. Netflix is going to live or die on streaming. For the other companies, streaming is another line on a P&L doc.

At least in Netflix's case, some of it makes sense because of how much work they put in to their website. Almost everything on their homepage is personalized based on what they think will get you to watch that movie/show. From the

I think your answer is in your comment. Why would the digital marketing guys at Amazon say that their advertising doesn't work and their budget should be cut? They want a bigger budget with more responsibility, not less!

From what I've read I would say so, it's super easy with their e-citizenship.

Wow I was heavily skeptical of Peloton until these numbers. I would have thought who would pay a few thousand dollars for a machine and then an additional $39 a month. But 92% of all customers who have purchased the equipment are still subs

I think its on purpose. Associate an unpleasant color with Android so if you ever switch from iPhone to Android you know you will show up as the same unpleasant green on their phones.

Why would a company allow a VC firm that they haven't received money from allow the VC firm to audit their code? Seems like a recipe for disaster.

I would say that any power with nukes is not a regional player, considering they can blow up the whole planet. Russia also has significant influence in the middle east.

If the future is AR, it's a good thing Apple is one of the leading companies in this area.

I would provide links for several of the claims you make because they just seem not true. You have a very biased perspective, of course you're going to blame the giant platforms if you work in the ad industry.

Ok my mistake, I thought target purchased goods at wholesale price and then re-sold them at whatever price they wanted. So Target was a good example after all.

I don't believe it contradicts it. Apple claims that it does not set the price, the developers do. That's what they mean when they are just the intermediary, they facilitate the transaction but are not part of it. I think his exam

Uber drivers use their cars for stuff other than Uber. It's a way to make additional money from something you already have. That would not be the case if Uber had its own fleet.

How exactly is Amazon a monopoly though?

The reason half of them are foreign owned is because all of them are Chinese whom are later in their tech development cycle. Almost all those companies in the US have already went public.

Definitely. There is a great book called Pillars of the Earth where a cathedral in England burned down in ~1150.
