Will Every One Calm Down The iPhone X is Doing Fine!

Image result for iphone x
Okay so right off the bat lemme say that I'm biased, but you probably got that from the blog title. But If you really think about it we all are in some form or another we're all bias ed, lets just be open about it.

If you're like me and you read a lotta tech news you might have seen headlines that look like this.



We've had a lot of reports corroborating and opposing this and these rumours are doing real damage to apple. recently apples shares have taken a small hit wiping off almost $45 billion dollars in their net value.

Lets take a look at these rumours now shall we? These rumours cite supply chain sources as -well the source of these rumours, and they have been wildly off before anyone fancy an iPhone 7 pro? Back in 2016 the rumour mill was sure that apple would release 3 new iPhones an iPhone 7 an iPhone 7+ and an iPhone 7 Pro but at long last the iPhone 7 Pro Never saw the light of day. Rumours have also been way off in the past group FaceTime never came to iOS 11 a dark mode never came to iOS 11. All we need to remember is that these reports are based off of unverified claims. Take them with a grain of salt.

Our media has always been one for the sensationalist news topics, the truth doesn't generate clicks a scandalous story does this might be why sex scandals send news ratings through the roof. The online media needs a really sensationalist title to make you click on their article. "Apples Latest iPhone Fails to impress " sure sounds a lot better than "iPhone sales down due to decreased demand after the holiday season". 
Don't take my word for it look at this particular headline.
                          
Oh no! What could have Samsung done to disappoint America! taking a look at the article just says that the exynos variant might have super slo-mo and the US variant might not (Theres no reason for that to be the case), but the sensationalist title made you look ;).

Okay so the reports aren't totally dependable, but sticking along with the reports we are seeing other reports that basically say the opposite. That the iPhone X is selling really well.

And this isn't the only one there are some reports that look at the phone activations over the holiday season and apple is clearly in the lead with Samsung coming a distant second. We also go another report which claimed that the iPhone X sold 6 million units over black friday. I would say that these rumours are a bit more believable as they come with statistics and they're based on actual market surveys.

And for my last point Id like to remind you that the iPhone X isn't being sold in isolation. Apple has 3 new phones out this year, the 8, 8+ and the X. So comparing the X to Stats from the 7 is going to be kind of misleading. If the iPhone X breaks your heart ( or your wallet for that matter ) there are always two great devices to choose from although this doesn't mean the iPhone X is selling well It still translates into revenue for apple and the 8 and 8+ will help Apple's Q4 sales which will inevitably give apple the boost it needs to hit that $1 trillion market cap.

So to recap all of this is just conjecture and its just my thoughts on the topic and were just a few days away from apple releasing their Q4 sales on February 1 and personally I think it'll be a stellar quarter for Apple. Do let me know your thoughts in the comments below!

What Is KaiOS? The Android Competitor You've Never Heard Of

When you think of the smartphone OS wars, we have two warring factions, Android and iOS. For about 5 years this was the way it's been. But in the distant past there were three smartphone Operating Systems. Android, iOS and Windows. The three way battle for OS supremacy raged on and before long the triopoly became a duopoly. With Windows phone being more or less dead the two major Operating systems only had each other to worry about for the longest time. Now the incumbents have a new kid on the block to worry about , KaiOS. But wait if KaiOS is so great how come no ones ever heard of it before? But First Some Background KaiOS is built on the ashes of the Firefox OS , For phones that aren't necessarily smart. You remember those old phones that you used to rock back in 2009? Yeah phones like those. The aim of KaiOS is to bring down the features of a smartphone down to a feature phone. So for that very same reason Kai...

Why I Love The iOS Files App

iOS has long been guilty of being terrible with files, You had third party file managers that promised to give you a great files experience. But most of them fell pitifully short, some did almost come close to being good but none came close to the flexibility and power that a file explorer on Android, Windows or MacOS could ever hope to give you.That all changed with the introduction of the files app on iOS 11. Why Bother With A Files App? Apple has been talking about  replacing the PC with an iPad for quite a while now and to truly replace a PC you need a few desktop features on iOS which is primarily a mobile OS. Ask anyone and they'll tell you that the ability to manipulate files is one of the most basic things that you'd expect a computer to do. After all one of the first GUI apps was a file explorer. So it makes sense to bring over the file explorer to iOS. But you just can't port finder over...

How Will The 6.5 Inch iPhone Be Different?

With the iPhone X out of the way we're now starting to focus on the iPhone X+ or whatever it will be called. With the iPhone X they couldn't really afford to come out with two new phones in 2017 as components such as FaceID and the whole manufacturing process was very constrained as it was a brand new design. But a year later Apple seems to have got a handle on things and seeing the great sales of the iPhone X, Apple seems to be ready to spread their wings into the + market. Why Differentiate At All? The iPhone X has been selling really well despite the rumours that state the contrary. A 6.5 inch plus model iPhone can really go a long way in keeping the lineup fresh and exciting. Just look at the Galaxy S8 and S9. Though great phones they lacked they didn't bring anything new and fresh to the table. Apple is in a unique advantageous position to bring something new to the table with the rumoured iPhone X+ .  Since the iPhone 7 people have flocked to the larger v...
