And people thought the Samsung variant was better originally, which made a ton of returns before and after TSMC was shown faster

Over the weekend, Apple announced that it’s recalling some USB-C charge cables that were included with its super-slim MacBooks in 2015 because they “may fail due to a design issue.”

i love reading any stories about apple doing something with dr. dre cause of all the comments from apple fans that are disgusted because they're all racist

the awl story from the beats acquisition remains the best thing about it

- new process

- complex process

- not that much pressure to do good right now (small user base, few competitors, etc)

- because it's new technology, it's reported on more often

it would be a bad decision to not have Apple Pay on all their new phones. making market share as big as possible is likely to drive higher adoption rates by vendors, which in turn translates into more profits and hardware sales for Apple.

it is a cheap feature to implement now and they can sufficiently differentiate their product range in other ways.

Apple issuing more bonds

macrumors comment:

a desperate try to stabilize the shares in a rather money-burning action…. instead of caring about customers needs… or care about the horrible working conditions in China...
They will not prevent the market to sell… they give investors just more time to sell for higher prices. Perhaps the apple management wants to stabilize also their own shares until the day they are allowed to sell them themselves?
The sellers will be very pleased…. china´s poor and slaved working class will not…nor apple´s customers

the us was really ahead on nfc like 10 years ago, they put it on a bunch of vending machines but there were some early lovely implementations that caused all the banks to stop using it

and now it's coming back a decade later slowly
