Courtesy of Jason Snell on Twitter, a - perhaps - even more dramatic curve. The gradient on the yellow iPhone line is ridiculous. The massive revenue rise is mainly due to the sheer sales numbers, but also because the 64GB model inflated iPhone ASP to $660.
Wow. The 4S impact is clearly evident. $46 billion dollars in revenue is just crazy; their previous record wasn't even above $30 billion. Even the (expected) weak iPod results were quite strong.
Compared to just a year ago, revenue and profit has basically doubled.
Normally, these things are hilarious. But, this one is stupid. Not only is it not funny, the factual information is stupid too. The iPhone has amazing voice technology, Siri. This isn't a dig; it's just a bit boring.
Very strong sales from Verizon, in regard to iPhone devices. Funnily, this actually pulled down Verizon's profits this quarter, as the 4.3million iPhone subsidies caused the carrier to register a loss in the quarter. Naturally, Verizon will make this up in the longer term from recurring monthly contract payments.
Manufacturers should not have responsibility for products they make. This judgement is just ridiculous. Companies that make products should not have to be legally-bound to recover the cost of their products, if stolen.
If someone steals my house keys and somehow commandeered my house, I cannot go back to my estate agents and ask them for compensation. Liability of possession lies with the owner, plain and simple. Without a doubt, this responsibility certainly does not lie with the creator of the possession.
That's achieved through intense optimisation of iOS frameworks (Accelerate) to the iPad A5 processor. This is something Android will never be able to truly meet. Hardware manufacturers do not care enough to individually tweak Android frameworks to suit each phone they produce.
PaidContent showed concern that the Guardian's bait-and-switch iPad app plan would not be a success. I wondered too, especially since Guardian.co.uk is still accessible to iPad users.
This is just a place for me to document my own thoughts, and receive feedback from others. It doesn't really have any set focus; just what appeals to me at the time of writing.
