Sending money via #FacebookMessenger is a great feature. #WeChat has micro payment for a long time. Question is, who will pay card charges?
#Google is now curating their #PlayStore with app review process. They can no longer accuse #Apple for having a closed platform.
#Nintendo will be fine, they are so beaten down in the past 5 years or so. The new strategy will for sure boost its bottom line.
Broadly speaking, #Nintendo has been playing catch up since #Sony introduced first PlayStation. They have not been industry leader since.
Totally shattered my #iPhone6Plus screen. Back on #iPhone5s and I still love the size of it. I wish #Apple will keep making 4-inch phones!
Is it that hard to believe #Apple won't need to update #AppleWatch every year to succeed?
#AppStore downtime on Wednesday had around a 20% hit to our daily revenue. A reminder for app business to budget for unexpected events.
The new #MacBook will eventually replace #MacBookAir when #Apple can satisfy the initial demand and have 11-inch and 13-inch versions.
Next #AppleTV will have 4k support with faster wifi. Until then, Roku and others can keep fragmenting rest of the market with many devices.
With 25 million #AppleTV sold, it's a great platform for content providers like #HBO to sell subscriptions. Can also watch on iPhone & iPad.
#AppleTV is now a stable live broadcasting platform. Took #Apple years to master this. I wish they had it years ago for Steve's keynotes.
Spend $10k+ on a watch and you will expect it to last a lifetime. You will have to pay a few hundred dollars to service it every few years.
Cost of electronic components inside #AppleWatch should be well under $100. Can easily be replaced or upgraded as part of regular servicing.
Lower end #AppleWatch and Apple Watch Sport might be "disposable" after a few years. But the Edition watches will be upgradeable for sure.
Will #USB-C replace #Lightning in future iPhone or iPad? Or will it be fully wireless by then?
I can't agree #USB-C is better than #MagSafe for charging new #MacBook. #Apple can't just share patents with others to make #USB-C perfect.
#AppleWatch 3-tier pricing, #Casio, #TagHeuer and #Rolex.
#SamsungGalaxyS6 has no removable batteries or upgradable storage, what #Samsung been mocking #iPhones for years. Who is copying now?
Glass on front and back with a metal frame is so 2010, the good old days of #iPhone4. Well done #Samsung. Maybe full metal back next time?
Not saying that #Apple shouldn't be interested in the auto market, but will they make #iCar anytime soon? Not likely. Look at Tesla's P/L.
#RadioShack started 94 yrs ago selling trendy radio communication components and now out of business for not moving quickly to Internet.
#TheVerge can break #Apple NDA to release review video of beta Photos app and get away with it? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EPeRHZIcyUs
I don't like the #Adonit clear disc pen tip. Try the new #iPad pens from #Wacom instead.
So who won #Flash vs #HTML5 argument? YouTube now using HTML5 as default. Flash is buggy, insecure and unnecessary in modern web browsers.
Ultimate winner of #tablet war will be #Microsoft by converting all laptops to Surface Pro hybrids, that will be over 50% of the market.
Analysts like to claim cannibalization of #iPad sales by strong #iPhone sales. Who else sold 21.4 million #tablets in a quarter?
#Blackberry has less than 0.5% of the market now. Developers don't want to make apps for it because it is worse than writing for #Symbian!
#Google to become a wireless provider? Good for #Sprint and #TMobile, but sounds like another beta idea which will only last a few years.
@googlecloud Reminder to all: If you plan to have users in China, stay away from Google services. You'll waste more than 60 days of effort.
#Microsoft is changing very fast. From paid #Windows to free for first year. Hard to imagine people will switch back to paying next year.
