No iPhone Sales Did Not Dip, They In Fact Grew

Image result for apple building


iPhone sales were down for the first time in forever ( I know You read that in tune), this is what everyone has been on about since apple released their sales figures for the holiday quarter. Which by the way was their best quarter ever with $88 billion in revenue.

But they sold fewer iPhones mate...

Yes they did a deficit of about 1 Million iPhones,  They sold 1 million fewer iPhones when compared to the corresponding quarter last year, And there lies the catch. According to Apple Insider, in their article about the iPhone sales for the past quarter they give us the reason for why sales dropped by a million. You can read the article here.

Quoting the article : "It should also be noted that Apple's first fiscal quarter of 2016 was one week longer than its 2017 period."
So yeah in essence Apple had an extra week to do business in 2016 than in 2017.

So Apple Had an Extra Week In 2016 Big Whoop

A week may not seem like much until you put it in context. Apple on average sells about 10 iPhones a second according to Computerworld. So that amounts to about 6 million additional iPhones sold in about a weeks time. So doing the math we see that Apple sales didn't really slip. They sold about 5 million additional phones when compared to last year. Keep in mind most of the 10 phones sold are iPhone Xs, the more expensive pricier model. So assuming an average selling price of $800(which is conservative by the way). Apple would have made $4,838,400,00 from that one week of sales that they missed. So their actual earnings for the last quarter is more like $95 billion ( We just looked at iPhone sales for the extra week ).

Apple Sold More Of It's Priciest Phone Than We Think.

That heading pretty much summarises everything. Let me know what you think in the comments below

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 pa...

Why Google Is About To Pay Apple $9 Billion To Do Nothing

There's a saying as old as time itself, "Its about quality not quantity" this couldn't be more true for Apple. By no stretch of the imagination does Apple dominate the smartphone market. In fact it just got passed by Huawei as the worlds second largest phone manufacturer. With such a small market share, You'd think that Apple would be at the mercy of much larger and just as established OEMs. But as with many things in the tech world Apple enjoys an advantageous position in the market and that lets them do a few things that most if not all other OEMs can't do at scale. From making a chinless phone by bending an OLED display to making $150 dollar wireless headphones that would have most likely failed had another company made them.This vantage point given to Apple by its grip on software and hardware and it's almost cult like following has made it a force to be reckoned with.I mean they're about to sell their 2 billionth iPhone , With such a huge ...

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...
