In case Santa did not satisfy all of your wishes, Cult of Mac has There’s still time to score the best iPhone gear of 2018 (Deals)PED has D.A. Davidson: Buy Apple on the big dip, which I am sure gets a big "Duh!!" from most AFB participants; I do like his $280 price target, though. Patently Apple has The Voice used in the Hebrew Version of Siri Sues Apple, with the person behind the voice objecting that it can now be made to say naughty things. Apple could easily pay the relatively small amount demanded, but since the original recorder was Nuance, I doubt that Apple will be punished, even if the judicial system somehow finds the claim to be valid. For the design-conscious among us, 9TO5Mac has Jony Ive and celebrated designer Naoto Fukasawa discuss Apple Park, design values, more in new interview. And while we all get ready for 2019, they also offer Year-in-Review: 9 things Apple didn’t announce in 2018 and what to watch for in 2019. Here's hoping that Apple will be kind to its stockholders and release some solid holiday sales hints.

Just in case like me you missed it, LOUPVENTURES last week had encouraging information about the difference John Giannandrea is already making in Annual Smart Speaker IQ Test.

She obviously has not heard of the 'Streisand Effect'. With current technology and a reasonable catalogue of recorded statements, think movies or speeches, one can pretty much have anyone say anything.

I still say iPhone, iPhone Max, and iPhone Pro yearly gives them the tiers that they need. If they want, throw in an occasional iPhone Special Edition (either low end or high end).

I agree with that approach, but that’s part of why they’re painted into a corner with naming, bc 2018 would’ve been the year to do that - instead they added an S year, so if they removed the S, it would be like the naming the new model like an old years model.

That's exactly my point...the 2018 iPhone Pro would be followed by the 2019 iPhone Pro, etc. Even years/odd years are equivalent to non-S/S years.
