Apple's share of phone industry profits: now 104%

(some phone companies make a loss, hence why the pie is bigger than 100)

Pretty sure the narrative I just read was, "Apple are confused about their products" quickly followed by Ab pointing out, "But look how profitable that is!!"

lol

Fair point, but I don't think it was a conscious decision. It's highlighting that these product lines don't talk to each other, and perhaps compete with each other, similar to Google.

USB-C? Thunderbolt? Lightning? 3.5mm jack or not? Decide and commit as a brand*, not as a product line within the brand.


* Apple called it "Courage" when it talked about removing 3.5mm from the iPhone7.

So I went Chinese on my new phone: Huawei P9.

It takes pretty pictures :-)

Thought about going for another Apple and I might in future but for now this'll do, and Swype soo nice in comparison to hunt and peck-ing on a touch screen.

The P9's nice but I can't help but remember this scandal when I see a photograph from it.

The "pro" mode or whatever it is does give really nice manual control though. Far more than most iOS camera apps.

So I'm still on iOS 8.1 for jailbroken reasons, but don't really have a need for JB anymore. Is 10 worth the update? never used 9.

all i can think of is the weird change to the unlock screen.

imessage animations (shown in their uncanny ios smoothness) are amusing from the latest updates. that's about it.

reading through some of the changes from a google search and shit like enhancements to maps/news/bollocks doesn't apply as who even uses those functions.

the 'Back to' function is great - open a link in an email and you can just tap the top left corner in safari to go back to the email without having to triple press the home key to task switch.

I don't have an iPhone6 or relevant iPad for the benefit of the rest of the crap

...

TLDR, what mrSD said.

Apple today announced financial results for its fiscal 2017 first quarter ended December 31, 2016. The Company posted all-time record quarterly revenue of $78.4 billion and all-time record quarterly earnings per diluted share of $3.36. These results compare to revenue of $75.9 billion and earnings per diluted share of $3.28 in the year-ago quarter. International sales accounted for 64 percent of the quarter’s revenue.

“We’re thrilled to report that our holiday quarter results generated Apple’s highest quarterly revenue ever, and broke multiple records along the way. We sold more iPhones than ever before and set all-time revenue records for iPhone, Services, Mac and Apple Watch,” said Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO.

When put through the Ab translatortron: a particularly shitty example of a poor-phone, as an add-on for those that already have good phones.

Also: Laser-tag. With phones. Really? :-/

Wow, it's actually really interesting to go through those first few pages.

All of these things rock my socks.

..with the "Internet on mobile" push, we'll (hopefully) see mobile data charges come down across the board (in time).

You don't have to appreciate the aesthetics of the new case or the user friendly UI. You should however appreciate the fact that we now have a driving force in the mainstream consumer market that is pushing the latest in mobile convergence and mobile Internet.

Apple may not have the product you crave right now, but I'm betting if they don't, they'll be the push the rest of the industry needs to make it happen.

Only good things can come of this.
And Pie with his satire turned almost too accurate portrayal

Wow.... that's actually pretty awesome we have a record of all this

Yeah you're right Ab, there just isn't much else the iPhone can copy innovation wise but don't worry they will beon a firm look outfor any potential innovation so that they can patent it before it gets commercialized and claim it as their own. :P

Go to the USPTO and just do a search for Steve Jobs and Jonathan Ive. The amount of futuristic shit that they patented even before Dear Leader transcended this mortal plane is mindblowing.

ETH hasn't jumped enough yet to justify a spend up. I'm still running my Nexus 5.

I can only hope my next phone is as robust as this one. I've never had a case, dropped it plenty, and it's still a great phone. I had a problem with the power button that was solved by opening it up and blasting the switch with electronic cleaner and air, but that's it.

Epic phone.

Wife actually loves the windows phone and is angry that MS is dropping it.

She went to use an android phone and was instantly pissed off with it, as everything was slow and nothing made sense.

Wasn't much impressed with an iphone either.

Grandma it's even worse, so we are going to give her our old windows phone 7.
