If they used a Note instead of cheaper Android phones, then they wanted the stylus and multi-pane Note features. iPhone7 doesn't offer those. They'll switch to Note 6, or one of the other stylus Android phones from other manufacturers.
"KGI analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said in a note to investors..."
So it's just one mans opinion and he didn't think it through.
Well, "KGI analyst Ming-Chi Kuo" has a better track record than "Anonymous Coward". And maybe the reason why people buy phones aren't what Android advocates claim they are after all.
Now they can sell all their smartwatches with the in-build camera to people who want to go see and record Dave Chappele live. That should seriously boost their sales.
There is no "knowing" at all. You're imagining choice in a computer controlled system like a fantasy entity, but in reality it is the programmers making a choice from sensor inputs, and the driver not acting to intervene. That makes them and Mercedes liable for killing people.
As opposed to a driver in the same situation. A situation that is your fantasy, where the only options are to slam into an object or not to break. Because AI cars in your fantasy can't break.
So a company famous for paying little to no taxes just because they supposedly operate at a very low profit level despite huge revenue plans to shift their shipping from companies that at least pay some taxes to a subsidy that will not. Shipping enormous amounts of goods over infrastructure payed with taxes. Hello?
It's not just about whether it's powerful enough, but whether Apple wants to support hardware that old, including all the drivers, and testing it thoroughly on those machines. You're talking about a model that's 8 years old.
Isn't it odd that a 8 year old Mac is still perfectly fine, but every one that is still being sold is hopelessly antiquated?
Sure - if you ignore the time (in 2000) when the Pentium 3 hit a wall at 1GHz, but the already announced Pentium 4 simply didn't ship. Or things like the Skylake bugs just from the start of this year.
News organisations are always wanting to protect their sources, so now they want the FBI to give out theirs?
No, they want the evidence, not the source. Not to mention that everybody already knows who the source is, and also that he was dead before he even became the source. Completely ignoring that he was the main perpetrator in the case. Why the hell would this source need protection?
First: The Note series is for people who need a stylus - or at least believe they do. What would bringing out the S8 earlier give them?
Second: Hell Yeah, it's always a good idea to ship something earlier than you planned, because that will sure iron out the bugs before release. That's obviously the best way to stop the bad press.
Look into their W1 tech. It's Bluetooth "with more". As we know, that always works out well for global compatibility...
So the iPhone 7 works with all Bluetooth headphones, and the new EarPods works with all devices streaming Audio over Bluetooth. And yet they are totally proprietary, unlike those wireless devices that only work with the totally standard adapters they shipped with.
Yes, I understand your argument all too well, that Apple will stop at nothing to spread their evil proprietary stuff everywhere, not even at having them work with standards, I also understand why you like those standard non-Bluetooth devices so much, they are the only way to get around the cumbersome Bluetooth pairing. Well apart from what Apple has done, but that only works on Apple products.
Their true objective is multi pronged and appears to be all about pushing their own wireless standard for audio, with the secondary goal of encouraging re-purchase of wireless versions of accessories from their recently purchased Beats division.
Basically it's all about money.
You mean their non-standard "BlueTooth"? As opposed to those standard non-BlueTooth wireless interfaces other companies use for all kind of shit?
Yes, we should eliminate all those things which are working great, so there are no ports, because... reasons
He just gave you a reason, smartass: so you can bring the phone underwater.
I have quite a few gadgets that can go underwater (not just splash resistant, but water resistant: full IPX7-certified immersion capable) that do feature ports.
Including the e-Book I gave present to my mother (Kobo H20) : that has ports - a microUSB charging/sync port, and a microSD card port.
(As long as the rubber cover is over them, and isn't currently open to swap the microSD card, this thing can survive 1m under water for half an hour)
Always a pleasure to peel the device out of it's tight cover to be able to use any of those ports. And then explaining the water damage caused by that single drop of rain.
It really is a shame that Samsung only makes one model of phone, and that nobody else is willing to compete with them except for Apple.
Well, why don't they then? Why doesn't any Android manufacturer sell anywhere near as much phones as Samsung - or Apple for that matter? Is that really because they don't sell over a hundred phone models but only a couple dozen?

My 96 Civic must be worth a fortune.
Since you can name the year of make - yes, it is vintage. That's what vintage means. Look it up.
You never know. If someone is quick enough to pocket the phone and stick it in a RFID bag where it can't phone home,
Have the phone sound an alarm as soon as it loses contact to the store's WiFi.
You probably can. But you would lose quickly on the basis that you can if fact swap a ford engine into a Toyota if you really want you.
In the same way that you can put another browser engine onto an iOS device if you really want to. Case closed.
linux also has a sandbox application, separate from chroot.
"A sandbox application"? Do you even know what we are talking about here?
blows up someone he knows and the bomber has this great phone.
Wrong phone
Apple is going to eventually end up selling paper bags. And Microsoft is going to do the printing.
Now Samsung will quickly design and release SamsungBag(TM), releasing it month or so before Apple releases their reinvented iBag...
And it will be made of cheap plastic and explode 10 minutes after you received it.
So a company famous for paying little to no taxes just because they supposedly operate at a very low profit level despite huge revenue plans to shift their shipping from companies that at least pay some taxes to a subsidy that will not. Shipping enormous amounts of goods over infrastructure payed with taxes. Hello?
For all the other suits filed, e.g. against Samsung?
Bye-bye!
Yeah, those three million dollars are going to kill Apple. No wait, they made that much while I wrote this.

Since when have GIFs and JPGs EVER fit in 140 characters? They'd have to be 3 pixels by 2 pixels. So this makes no sense.
Well, I guess URLs contain characters . which are no longer counted now? Just a guess.
Imagine a GIF here.
How about almost every AMD/Intel chip release ever? Other than the famous floating point debacle and hideous 64 bit chip, Intel has done pretty well.
Sure - if you ignore the time (in 2000) when the Pentium 3 hit a wall at 1GHz, but the already announced Pentium 4 simply didn't ship. Or things like the Skylake bugs just from the start of this year.

Yea, they will release the document, but it will be 100% redacted....so total waste of time...
Well,a single page with one black line across a third of the page's width. That would tell us a lot.
Or maybe they're using geolocation and only paywalled it for Americans,
And for Germans obviously, because I'm not in America. Admit it, you're a cracker.
Second: Hell Yeah, it's always a good idea to ship something earlier than you planned, because that will sure iron out the bugs before release. That's obviously the best way to stop the bad press.
Someone has to be biggest, that doesn't mean they make most Android phones, or that other Android phone makers are struggling.
Yes, The fact that most Android phone makers don't make much of a profit (if any) means they are struggling.
