Conservative commentators such as Glenn Beck and lawmakers like Ted Cruz have been all over the airwaves in the past week condemning Twitter and its CEO Jack Dorsey. At issue is the fact that Twitter was actively suppressing a story by the New York Post regarding Hunter Biden’s shady business dealings. Republicans seem to think that this some kind of violation of free speech and that Jack Dorsey owes it to the American people to cover news items that they deem untrue or un-newsworthy.
If a tree falls in the woods, but nobody with an iPhone was nearby, did it really fall? Verizon’s CEO seems to think that the answer to that question is “No”. And his actions back up his belief. Verizon literally waited to announce their nationwide 5G rollout to coincide with Apple’s launch of the new iPhone 12. That is some impressive clout that Apple is holding.
There’s no debate about which version of the Apple Watch is the sales champion. For 2020 that would have been the aluminum Series 5. Starting at $399, the aluminum Series 5 is a much easier purchase decision for many versus the stainless steel Series 5 which started at $699. But the more interesting question to me is, which watch comes in 2nd place? Prior to Apple announcing the new lineup of the Series 6 and SE, I suspected that the Series 3 was the next highest selling model. After the announcement, I’m certain of it.
Earlier this week Judge Rogers ruled on the latest injunction requested by Epic against Apple. It didn’t go well for Epic. In fact it reminded me a lot of an old mafia story that my 8th grade Latin teacher once told the class.
