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 party brows

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 (

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
