fyi: if you break your phone/watch/ipad and have AppleCare+ you can call them up and say the magic words "I want an express service replacement" they'll overnight you a new device for the same cost as you getting it fixed, and you just send back the old one when you get it.

AirPods have been in extremely short supply since they became available for purchase, with a typical wait time of six weeks from order to delivery. Only in August did stock begin steadily improving, with shipping estimates dropping to four weeks and then two to three weeks. Earlier this month, estimates improved to one to two weeks, before hitting three to five business days today.

A new report from KGI rebuts some of the industry pessimism around the launch of the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus. Although it is true that lines were shorter than the usual blockbuster iPhone release, KGI says that opening weekend sales were about half that of last year’s.

Given that many early adopters are waiting for the iPhone X, 50% sales volume is inline with expectations. KGI says they are seeing stable demand from carrier sales.

Whilst sales at Apple Stores are lower, this is to be expected as the demographic of people willing to queue up for a phone on launch day is heavily skewed towards the people who want the latest and greatest hardware, and are therefore waiting it out for the iPhone X.

Carrier sales give a more balanced look at the average customer, rather than hardcore Apple fan, so ‘stable demand’ at carriers is encouraging.

Interestingly, KGI says that the 8 Plus has been more popular than usual this year, with the 5.5-inch model accounting for more than half of initial iPhone 8 sales.

It is possible the skew towards iPhone 8 Plus corrects itself as time goes on and the average customer upgrades to the cheapest new iPhone, the 4.7-inch iPhone 8.

Going forward, KGI’s Ming-Chi Kuo expects iPhone X sales to roughly equal the combined unit shipments of iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus.

Assuming that realises itself when the iPhone X goes on sale in early November, investors will be pleased to see unit numbers inline with last year but with average-selling-price at Apple’s highest-ever levels for iPhone.

Apple stock (AAPL) has already recovered a few percentage points this week, as investors adjust their perspectives from (what KGI called) an ‘excessively negative’ outlook.

protip: get 3 strips of clear tape, place the protector over the screen how you want(turn the screen on to make sure), then tape the protector down on one of the long sides like hinges on a door. this way you can just flop the screen down in the right place after removing the backing film and you don't have to do any manual alignment or whatever. some kits come with stickers to do this, some don't. also use a piece of tape to remove dust or prints before you flop the screen down

the kit I got came w/ the stickers, a sticky dust remover, an alcohol wipe, and a lint free wipe. it was like $2/protector and good.

also, remember when iphone's screen would turn on when plugging in the headphones? i wonder what happened, it can't possible be that apple introduced revolutionary wireless ear dongles and turned the feauture off to differentiate, can it?

As the audience reluctantly began to applaud during the silence, Biden tried to fix his remarks.

"Wealthy kids, black kids, Asian kids -- no, I really mean it." Biden said.

im somewhat vaguely touching computers (finishing masters in physics while working as credit risk analyst). don't want to blow off to some random place before i get my degree done and see what's and how with my further study aspirations

to address greece specifically, working in non-customer service finance in latvia i make good enough money to better off than most greeks are. besides, i'm very picky about the places i would like to live in europe (greater scandinavia, benelux (more like bene), germany, austria, switzerland, maybe northern italy).
