Wired earbuds always had built in storage, when you have a wire, you can wrap it around the phone, or any other device so you don't lose them.
So how exactly do you use your phone when your headphones are wrapped around it? And how do you fix the ends? And how long does it take to untangle them?
If they did it right there would be a way to store the airpods in your phone. Instead of a wire you get to keep them in a case, I guess that is what charges them? So instead of a phone with a wired headset, you get to keep track of a phone, two airpods, and a case/charger for the airpods. Haha.
Well, if that is too mentally challenging for you, don't buy one. And keep your fingers nimble by constantly untangling your headphone cord.
And how would it do that, you stable genius? First download a "voice fingerprint" for all people on Earth, so it can report which people it can hear?
I really can't figure out if you people are trolling, stupid, or just trying to suck off Apple.
That's because you are dumb. I merely pointed out the insanity of your posting. And you can't tell, nor do any other options for "us people" pointing out you are insane.To a normal person I would say: "Think about that" - but that would be pointless with you.
My charger has a light that shows when the battery is charging. When the battery is charged, the light turns off.
The charger light turns on when the TV or music is loud. It switches off not quite as fast as a scope would show activity, but soon enough to know that something draws more current when there is significant audio input.
So does your charger also light up any time you actually ask Siri something? Or only when (presumably that`s what you are claiming) your iPhone sends audio recordings to Apple whenever your TV is on loud.
Right, the important thing is to buy a reputable product like a Thinkpad. It isn't enough to just avoid one brand known for repair-unfriendly products.
Errm. Yeah. Right. If a machines needs repairs from the start. it better be repairable easy. Especially, when one repair will not be enough.
"It's a bit ironic you defend the equivalent of a LEO demanding your phone, fully unlocked, and giving you an old Nokia as a replacement."
We're not talking about ships' logs here.
And now you pretend that the data on your phone are just like a ships log, and it does't matter if it gets send to a library where random people can read it. Yeah, go ahead.
The iPhone X was such a disaster that they were able to increase their phone margins and overall net income enough to lift their EPS and share price >3%. An unmitigated disaster that brought them closer to being the first trillion-dollar company in history.
Outsold by Huawei now. Nothing could possibly go wrong, right?
Try to post without the insults, ok, to avoid being called out as the clown you come across as by not being able to support your argument after heaving out a lame ad hominem.
That article is 10 years old. Please continue post shit like this to prove you more than deserve all the insults we could ever throw at you.
Apple hasn't achieved market saturation until Windows is at 10% and macOS at 90%, and not until Android is at 7% and iOS is at 95%.
You live on a different planet than the rest of us. On the planet we live on, Apple's smartphone market share peaked in 2009 at 48% and has declined steadily ever since, to less than 17% today. There is no reason to suppose that that trend will stop. Maybe it will eventually stabilize around 5% like the MacOS share of the PC market.
Well, how would we notice if the trend gasn't stopped already when that chart ends 4 years ago? All we know that the quarter we are currently talking about, Apple's marketshare grew. And the only one they could have taking it from is Android. Why don`t you predict doom for Android?
Nice summary of the Apple story. But you need to recognize Apple's dilemma: they painted themselves into a corner. Having reached market saturation and further numerical growth cut off by the Android hordes, Apple's now has to grow the price and the amount of aftermarket money it can squeeze out of each of its misty eye followers. Either that or invent something entirely new that everybody wants, but that isn't going to happen under the Tim Cook culture.
Hey moron, did you miss the news? The whole smartphone market is saturated and actually shrinking, and Apple still sold more phones, Apple's corner is getting bigger, and it has the color of massive gold. Why do you expect (but actually fear) eternal growth from Apple but from nobody else? And why do you then ignore all the products from Apple that are growing?
Cook probably couldn't sink Apple even if he deliberately set out to do just that.
Watch what happens to Cook if the stock trends down.
You failed to make an compelling argument why it would.
But nothing happened the last couple of times the stock trended down. Not the least because it went back up pretty fast.
Since you are having trouble understanding what could go wrong
Honey, you have a terrible track record predicting what could go wrong but of course didn't. Do you really want to go there? Because that could go wrong, And with you the chances of it happening are so fucking sky high as you are.
It's a bit ironic that you claim there was no copyright in a discussion including Alexandria... Home of the first copyright law. It gave them the right to copy any book coming through their port. They kept the originals and returned the copies.
It's a bit ironic you defend the equivalent of a LEO demanding your phone, fully unlocked, and giving you an old Nokia as a replacement.
Other than that when Apple released Metal, Vulkan wasn't publicly released yet.
But Apple was a prominent member of Kronos group and could easily have done a Vulkan alpha release, or glNext as it was called.
Bullshit. Vulkan wasn't even announced as a planned product when Apple shipped Metal in developer betas of iOS, first demos of Vulkan came a year later. Heck for all we know Vulkan only exists because Apple presented an alpha of Metal to Kronos.
Actually, looking at Wikipedia, we have "Metal has been available since June 2, 2014 on iOS devices powered by Apple A7 or later" vs. "The Khronos Group began a project to create a next generation graphics API in July 2014 with a kickoff meeting at Valve Corporation.[36] At SIGGRAPH 2014, the project was publicly announced with a call for participants."
They didn't see an early alpha, they saw the bloody demo at WWDC, like the rest of the world. If they then tried to get Apple to make it a Kronos project we don't know, but we can be pretty certain where they even got the idea for Vulkan from, Stop pretending.
Not that I can really think of any other way for AAPL to keep its share price flying high. But anybody who isn't high on Apple Kookaid can see where it goes.
While the Android makers continue to lose money, selling less and less of their crappy phones, instead of staying flat. That's the wrong kind of winning, you dumbass.

There was a Game Boy add-on that plugged into the headphone jack on the bottom and stored (wired) earphones in it!
Making your phone useless while you use it, because it turns off the speaker.
If they did it right there would be a way to store the airpods in your phone. Instead of a wire you get to keep them in a case, I guess that is what charges them? So instead of a phone with a wired headset, you get to keep track of a phone, two airpods, and a case/charger for the airpods. Haha.

Did you know you can use FaceBook without the app?
Do you even know how bloated the FaceBook web page is? Not to mention that it currently doesn't work right on anything but Chrome?
Funny that Apple gets attacked for answering the question, while Google and Amazon get a pass for not answering.
And how would it do that, you stable genius? First download a "voice fingerprint" for all people on Earth, so it can report which people it can hear?
I really can't figure out if you people are trolling, stupid, or just trying to suck off Apple.

And how is the phone supposed to know you aren't just watching some Spy movie, FFS?
Obviously, voice printing.

Just answer this: is the world flat or hollow?

Outsold by Huawei now. Nothing could possibly go wrong, right?
Also outsold by Huawai last year. What did go wrong after that? https://www.theverge.com/2017/9/6/16259810/huawei-apple-global-smartphone-sales
Remember back when Samsung first outsold Apple, how you were cheering and predicting Apple's doom? What did go wrong after that?
if you look at "expensive phones", Apple has a _huge_ part of that, probably 60%
I'm not sure exactly what the share is in that sector, but it's not as high as that. Samsung's and Google's phones are expensive too
Yeah, but they don't sell as well. Probably because they are just as expensive. Heck, Google`s phone sales were always tiny, and probably even intended to be low. Anyway, here's some "old" news from Q4 2017 that doesn't actually prove you wrong - it's just better than anything you've provided thus far: https://www.forbes.com/sites/johnkoetsier/2018/04/18/8-of-the-top-10-most-profitable-smartphones-on-the-planet-are-made-by-apple/#69a94a4adb18
And Mac share of the "Desktop" market is over 10%, twice what you claim.
I doubt it. Mac, 5.03%

Ahh, another 13 year old posting. Did you get daddy's permission?
Talking about yourself again? Sorry that that strangling did lead to brain damage.
Learn what market share actually means . we already told you a couple of times.
So you have statistics that show iPhone is gaining market share? According to their own data in this very article, iPhone shipments are down.
God, you are too stupid to understand TFS. FOAD, you pompous moron.

Apple beats earrings most quarters, because blah blah blah
No. Apple beat earnings this quarter for exactly one reason: The 41.3 million iPhones shipped during the third quarter is basically flat from the year-ago period, but the ASP of $724 is a notable jump from the year-ago period. In otherwords, squeezed more money from each brain-damaged Apple cultist. with only one possible result: Apple's 17% slice of the smartphone pie will get smaller.
Not that I can really think of any other way for AAPL to keep its share price flying high. But anybody who isn't high on Apple Kookaid can see where it goes.
While the Android makers continue to lose money, selling less and less of their crappy phones, instead of staying flat. That's the wrong kind of winning, you dumbass.
