Nice to return to green for this week, even if it could have been much better if not for Friday's pin. Apple Plans to Expand in China as iPhone Sales Slow is a video discussion of Apple's plans to increase investment in China facilities. I am not sure how The Donald would react to such news, whether to hasten the repatriation activities or to take spiteful actions to teach Apple (and perhaps other tech companies) a "lesson." Since I am not at all a social media user (except for AFB, I guess ;-)) I cannot judge how accurate Here's how Apple could leapfrog Snapchat and make the next iPhone a must-have is. I basically use iMessage for things like letting someone know if I am running late, rarely use emojis and barely know what a sticker is. I would be interested in the opinions of more sophisticated AFB users. We seem to be in the rare position when almost all Apple articles are optimistic, which always increases my skepticism, but I am doing my best to enjoy the party while it lasts. With the end of the quarter in sight, I remain surprised that I see a paucity of information, even speculation, about Apple sales performance. We are also overdue for the announcement of the next product release gathering; perhaps it will be the first event in the new campus.

Thanks for opening the weekend thread. You may want to check the math in the post title though: "Week Ending March 17, 2017 $139.99 (+$3.06)" Should be +$0.85

Can't seem to find how to edit the thread title, so if anyone knows, please message me. I'll keep looking.

Not sure I agree with the Mac argument, the iPads at this time cannot replace a Mac for a complete user experience primarily due to a lack of a file system. The Mac is still the hub for ease of use across multiple devices. Maybe at some point the iCloud might work, we'll see.

Directories in the iOS file system are, for the most part, sandboxed based on the application, but there can be access granted between apps, such as when an app requests access to your photo library or health data.

Forgive me if I don't get too excited about what Donald Trump and Sean Spicer say they're going to do. Have they done anything they've promised to do, apart from get a few companies to save a few hundred jobs here and there? What happened to the wall, or that 30 day plan to defeat ISIS? So much winning...!
Can't wait for that interesting stuff to come out about the Obama wiretapping fiasco that Trump hinted at. I'm sure it's not just another lie.
