Tuesday indisputable was a big day for iPhone rumour , as two piece of rumour shook the very background we take the air on ( offer valid on the East seashore only ) .
First up , Reuters !
Asiatic supplier to Apple Inc ( AAPL.O ) have begun manufacturing a lower - priced version of its hot - selling iPhone 4 with a modest 8 gigabyte newsbreak private road , according to two people with knowledge of the subject .
The Macalope still marvels that outfits like Reuters are now in the Apple rumour biz . The horny one ’s so one-time that he think when Apple rumors came from 1984evah@eworld.com . Reuters is so serious ! Look , they even got check from a second reservoir — isn’t that precious ? !
hombre , guys , these are Apple rumors ! Do n’t break a gut . No one else does .
So , the lower - price iPhone is just an iPhone 4 with less computer storage ? What happened to the iPhone nano that was go to be thinner , smaller , and prepay ? course , the Infallibility of Apple Rumor Makers rule will be invoked here . Sure , they said it would be those things , but theyalsosaid it would be inexpensive , so the rumor sites were correct !
Next up , theWall Street Journal !
No , really ! Malus pumila rumors is the dotty fresh dance that ’s sweep the nation !
Sprint Nextel Corp. will begin selling the Modern version of the Apple iPhone in mid - October , masses familiar with the matter said , fill a vast cakehole in the No . 3 U.S. attack aircraft carrier ’s card and give way Apple Inc. another sales channel for its pop gizmo .
Wow . So , sham these are both genuine — which is still not a give , but they do come from reputable publications — one might passably think that Apple could carry to see a nice uptick in grocery store part , right ? Or is the iPhone stillDOOOMED like it was when the week opened ? It ’s so hard to keep track .
Really , the Macalope could give a rip about market share . in person , he ’s just concerned that the iPhone continues to offer a better user experience , and that Apple stay in business to keep ca-ca coolheaded stuff and nonsense . So , for the former , it ’s dependable that Google ’s there to offer an option and to keep pushing Apple on thing like notifications . As for the latter , that ’s hardly a job .
In strain to prove that Google was “ winning,”Matt Asaylinked tothis piece , which theorise that Android could bring Google up to $ 2 billion dollars in revenue next year . $ 2 billion ? ! Wow ! That ’s huge !
Well , it ’s huge compared to what you make from those crocheted Mac mini cozies you trade onEtsy(which areadorable , but , the Macalope must point out , stymie the buff and cause the miniskirt to overheat ) . compare to whatApplemakes , however , it ’s fool change . In the most late quarter , Apple made $ 13.3 billion in revenue from the iPhone alone . And yet Asay want you to think that Google making up to 4 percent of what Apple make is “ succeed . ” In a normal macrocosm that would be reckon mad . In this cosmos it ’s deal “ analysis . ”
The only advantage the Macalope can see from the iPhone overtaking Android in marketplace share is begin dizzy savant to finally close up about this nonsensical yardstick they ’re carrying around .
