Selling new units at the same level isn't required to hold market share. Keeping users with older hardware from jumping to Android should be their main concern. The fact that their current line is too expensive means that consumers are already thinking 2-3 years out and thinking they may not want to buy another iPhone. Still, they aren't going to but this year no matter the brand.
Now you're just talking semantics - the modern-day term "ham" means cured meat in English. It used to mean just the cut, but that's a very archaic usage of the term. I'm using ham to mean a cured portion of that cut of meat. But again, I was talking about cured and not fresh anyway (if you read closer).
Near field EM is still an EM wave. And it's still coupled with the fluctuating electric field in the coil. It's just that since the near field radiation is what's important, there is not enough power to generate significant amounts of far field.
It's a very short distance, and possibly the reason it's taking so long is that they plan to use some sort of beamforming from the multiple antennae. It seems very logical to try this, but completely crazy to announce what turned out to be an unfinished product that hasn't made it out of R&D yet.
Making it price-neutral but potentially more reliable during utility outages are worth more than a few bucks in a mutual fund. And generators are nice, but don't kick in fast enough to prevent a brownout or temporary blackout.
Apple rarely gets suckered to the race to the bottom game, even it costs them market share.
They had a pretty large share of the market. Simply not raising their prices and being a familiar OS would have let them hold that market for a long time. A small number of high margin devices is their old business model. They had moved to moderate margin and a huge number of units is what they've been doing ever since the runaway success of the iPhone. Their real problem is that their older phones are still good enough and they should have always expected sales to slow to the replacement level once they owned the market.
No such thing as uncured bacon - that's just pork belly. It's a misnomer that the FDA forces on companies who sell meat cured with celery juice or other forms of nitrate that don't come directly from a mineral salt. One that's used to intentionally mislead consumers too, but since it's forced by law there is no recourse.
Uncured, by law (in the US), is cured meat with a natural source of nitrate or nitrite. Food producers are required to call it "uncured" even if they believe it's misleading and inaccurate.
It's not just that. A lot of the shaded and skeuomorphic designs relied on bitmap elements, but we're entering an age of high DPI and resolution Independence. Sure, you can make fancy effects scale, but at a much higher processing cost than what we had.
I'd rather have good speeds and horrible customer service than bad speeds and horrible customer service. You must not have ever dealt with CenturyLink before.
And yet that doesn't make copyright itself an anathema to capitalism. Without copyright at all, the market wouldn't exist at all. Capitalism doesn't like markets not existing.
In other words, we didn't have enough checks on capitalism in the law. But people were more moral before so it wasn't a huge problem. Now, capitalism is suddenly in dire need of checks and balances.
Explain to me how creative works can even be encouraged to exist without copyright. Let's say I write a book and spend 6 months on it. I think - all I have to do is sell 10,000 copies and I can afford to sit down and write another book. But no. The first guy who buys a copy starts selling copies of it for pennies and nobody buys it from me. I am broke and destitute and never write a book again. Copyright encourages competition - but only useful competition. Like encouraging there to be other authors out their writing their own books.

Oh, and feel free to cite the Wikipedia article on EM induction.
And what exactly do you think induction is, then?
Induction means to induce current with generated EM emissions. It's generally pretty efficient, but it's not an inaccurate description.

Does that answer matter if it doesn't taste the same?

Oh, sure. Just as carbon-neutral as coal, oil, and natural gas anyway. Not that this is a useful definition of carbon-neutral.

That would likely be frozen pork belly without any nitrates or nitrates. What do you think curing is? You can use just salt but it takes a lot longer.
That's for fresh meat, not cured. Bacon stays colored during cooking (as does ham)

MS pulled out of the phone market on their own. Ironically, right about the time they finally figured out how to make a decent phone UI.

So around the time of the printing press when mass production became possible. I think that fits my argument just fine
People fighting on the street is an emergency? Maybe you don't understand that the non-emergency numbers should ALWAYS be used for non-emergencies.

Great. Please stop calling! You finally get it.
