No they come in as a loss. They are already counted as earnings. When they repatriate them they pay a tax and book a loss. The tax law actually lets you spread the loss over several years too. So expect apple (net) earning to go way down even though they are making a killing on tax savings. Go figure. The Wall street journal had a piece on how confusing it's going to get trying to figure our price to earnings ratios for the next few years of these highly variable earnings modifications.
During Tim Cook's summary for the holiday quarter he noted: "... a key driver was iPhone which generated it's highest revenue ever. iPhone X was the best selling smartphone in the world in the December quarter according to Canalys and it has been our best selling phone every week since it launched."
more importantly perhaps, it reversed the sagging iphone trend in china. ".. Kantar reported that iPhone X sales in Urban China were staggering. "
Apparently nobody wants one because they are too popular.
A story out of Japan on Friday stated that "Other smartphone makers, who Samsung had hoped would incorporate OLED panels, have been slow to make the transition due to their expense and are sticking to liquid crystal displays."" Apparently that reality doesn't sell stories, so the Nikkei Asian Review decided to just throw in Apple as being Samsung's problem to make the story a mover.
Smartphone sales fell in China overall in Q4 and yet Apple was able to buck the trend with the iPhone X being the number one smartphone around the world. In fact Kantar reported that iPhone X sales in Urban China were staggering.
During Tim Cook's summary for the holiday quarter he noted: "Our growth was broad based and a key driver was iPhone which generated it's highest revenue ever. iPhone X was the best selling smartphone in the world in the December quarter according to Canalys and it has been our best selling phone every week since it launched."
In late January Patently Apple posted a report titled "Apple to end Samsung's exclusive OLED contract and Shift to a new L-Shaped Battery with Increased Capacity." In that report we also noted that China's BOE and Sharp were vying for Apple's OLED business.
Yet despite Samsung overestimating OLED display demand, the Nikkei Asian Review's report adds: "To make matters worse, Chinese OLED panel makers are expanding production capacity, heating up the price competition even more."
at the end of the day, it's still just a fucking phone.
This is the same as saying a car is just a car. True. But you spend a lot of time in them and some cars make you feel good about driving them. Ever driven a manual shift sports car down a windy country road? And yet a much cheaper automatic sedan is a much more practical car. And both are cars and both get you to your destination. One just makes you grin like an idiot and is exciting. And what's life without some excitement. Stupid to buy a sedan if you have the money to burn for the sports car. If you don't have the money then of course it would be silly to buy something unaffordable. iphone are a super cheap luxury
Personally, I don't want a thousand dollar phone because how I would feel when I break it. It's not that I would not like the phone and I don't even see it as over priced.
Why isn't it overpriced? How many things do you hold in your hand and look at 50 times a day? comething that tactile and consuming of your senses, intellect, time and lifestyle is something you should be getting the best possible tool for. It's not a place to economize. You can get a cheaper phone but saving yourself 25 cents a day for a phone that is a little less enjoyable is just illogical provided you can afford the extra 25 cents a day.
I'd just be so pissed off if I broke it. Having done that with other phones this is not a low probability. SO I deny myself the pleasure to avoid the pain I know I'd eventually experience.
It's Uber's fault. I don't like strangers coming on my property. Let alone ones that come up on my porch and take or leave things. Yet I have no problem with UPS drivers doing this. Is that strange or is it that UPS has a reputation? Uber has a reputation too-- not a good one. two words (taxi rapists). Even if something is rare or unpreventable you need to be seen doing everything you can to make it rare if you want your customer's respect. Uber's at fault for losing their own reputation.
Well I think the point is that while most ride hailing systems are either some quasi-deterministic k-sat or integer programming algorithm or alternatively a heuristic based approach, they are going to give a AI architecture a whirl. Given that most AI are neural net powered and no one can tell you what a Neural Net might do under unusual circumstances, this could produce some really unexpected outcomes. Should be fun to watch! But you are right, it's unlikely to have better performance.
Perhaps the high speed bypasses for the Elven elite that the Boring company is drilling will be repurposed as underground caves for housing the jobless after no has to drive to work anymore.
every photo they show is of oiled wood. Guess what, everything leaves a mark on oiled wood. Guess what, the nice thing about oiled wood is you can re-oil it and marks go away. but everything you set on oiled wood that moves, whether it has a woofer in it or not, leaves a mark. Even Cutting boards, ironically, used to protect a butcher block top, leave marks. But you just oil them back out. it's what you do with oiled wood. it's why people like it.
if you don't like marks on your wood then use Urethane. Or use a coaster.
by the way people report marks left by alexa too. Google's device, which buzzes and vibrates more than others, actually comes with a rubber pad to compensate for crappy acoustic design rattling it off the shelf.
Fermi's paradox is that if alien life were inevitable we should see the signls. We wont if the fate of all alien civilizations is to eventually kill themselves quickly so that few would likley broadcast in our brief tenure.
An alternative explanation is that all civilization eventually discover crytocurrency and it consumes all their resources including the broadcasting power. All civilizations go dark after a period of time.

Check out the company Viome. They do exactly that. Matching biome to diet
So you are saying that AI will let us work 10% less and retain the same pay and productivity?
Those tools replaced a shitload of work (and thus jobs).
from 1939 the number of people in construction work has risen steadily from 2 million to over 6 million.

AI companies with no clue replaced by AI with a clue.
who says they expected more? Only samsung says.

It's Albert powered. the I and L look the same.
Or are you just glad to see me
If you'll be my taxi fair
I can be your long lost pal
I can call you a cab
And rider, when you call me
You can call me Al
Call me Al

After google or Walmart buys UPS the sharing internal to the company will get easier.

This is getting funny and unnerving.
will it run "doom"?
They should make the bottom have the contour of the apple logo. then you could sell it for a profit.

statistically speaking, the most likely thing we will detect on an alien broadcast will be the Porn Channel. Eeewww.
If they can't afford to buy an Nvidia then just switch to openCL on AMD.
