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!

The Huawei Ban Is Justified (Hear Me Out)

So a few a year or so ago I talked about the consequences of using a Huawei phone here  and more than a year later things aren't all that different. Recently Huawei was accused of being a security threat by the United States and has asked all American companies to not do business with Huawei. So that means that Huawei is now cut off from Intel, Qualcomm and most importantly Android. Now this might seem harsh at first glance. The US is unfairly targeting a law abiding company just for the fact that it is Chinese. But a closer look reveals much more.  How China Does Business Unlike in the west and much of the world. China does not have a protections for intellectual property. That means that no ones protecting your idea from being ripped off by someone else and then being brought to market. In most of the world if someone violates a patent you can sue them. Case and point look at pressy a small Kickstarter that makes a small button that plugs into your phones headphone jack (

So Which Is The Best Browser For Your Mac?

With all the chrome bashing that's been going on of late, It got me wondering and a bit jealous cause I was missing out on the aforementioned Chrome bashing. Does it really matter what browser you use? I mean they all fundamentally do the same thing, It turns all the ones and zeros of the internet into things that you can actually read on your screen. But as is turns out a whole lot of things have to happen for your favourite website to be displayed to you, In the shady back alleys of code that our browsers run on, It turns out that each browser does things a little bit differently. So what are our options? The Three main browsers that we'll be taking a look at today will be Safari, Firefox and Chrome.  Safari Safari is the browser that comes with your iPhone or iPad or your Mac as we are discussing in this case. It's a fast fluid responsive modern browser. It's my browser on choice. Safari a few things going for it. First off it's a first party brows

My iOS 13 Wishlist

Around this time last year I wrote the  iOS 12 wish list , And to my surprise most of my prayers were answered, and iOS 12 has been wonderful for the last 5 months or so. But now we're coming up on another WWDC, Yes its still 5 months away but that hasn't stopped the rumour mill from speculating what the next version of iOS will be.Here are a few features that I'd like to see on the next version of iOS. A New Look For iOS 13 Ever since iOS 7 iOS has looked the same more or less, With its flat icons and punchy colours. I feel that the time for a refresh is long overdue. Don't get me wrong it looks great but, Its stale and I fresh new coat of paint can go wonders in making iOS 13 feel radically different. Apple has their work cut out for them if they do decide to go down this route. Finding a new design aesthetic isn't the most easiest thing in the world. When you consider that the new design refresh will have be loved and should be simple to use for millions
