The Apple Sheep

While Apple is hard at work developing their top of the line  , next gen iPhones, Samsung is also working on a fitting reply. But of late the Samsung's flagship Galaxy phones haven't been having the best of days. With the S9  performing poorly when it comes to sales, So much so that the S9, a 3 month old phone was overtaken in sales by Apple's iPhone 8 , an 8 month old device that features a design straight out of 2014. You could argue that the S9's slow sales could be attributed to the fact that the S9 is pretty much an S8 with very few changes. Going by Apple's naming scheme the S9 is an S8s. Design Sells While a design doesn't really affect the functionality of a phone, designs play a crucial role when it comets sales. Looking at Apple's past sales it's easy to see that Apple has had huge spikes in sales when they came out with a new design especially in 2014, when they came out with...

Recently, Apple out of the blue decided to refresh the MacBook Pros. While they look identical on the outside, the internals have been significantly reworked. The new MacBooks come with a whole new slew of features which you may or may not care for including a True Tone display, Quieter Keyboards ( Yay if you were on of those people that wanted quieter keyboards), Better speakers and the all important RAM and processor upgrades. People have been asking for more RAM on the MacBooks for quite a while and they're justified in asking for more RAM as these are Pro devices and as any good video editor will tell you, Final Cut Pro will chew through 16 GigaBytes of RAM. The 32 Gigabytes of RAM would really go a long way in helping Pros deal with their pro tasks. But the most talked about upgrade are of the processors. Much Ado About Processors Up until 2017 the most processing power you could get out of a MacBook Pro was a quad core chip and for most people thats way more horsepowe...

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...

Ever since iOS 9, Apple has been pushing iPads as PC replacements and back in the day the software just wasn't to par that the iPad pros shipped with. For all intents and purposes iOS on the iPad was just a blown up version of iOS on the iPhone. Therefore iOS on the iPad had pretty much the same flaws that th iPhone suffered from, the lack of multitasking and the lack of pro apps. The iPad in the days of iOS 9 was still more iPad than computer. Then with the release of iOS 11 the entire iPad lineup got some much needed impetus to make them actual productivity machines. Now you had an actual file explorer where you could keep and retrieve files from. Just the addition of the file explorer was a revelation in its own little way. But iOS 11 turned the iPad into something that you could decently multitask on. I mean you could run four ap...

2017 was a pivotal year for smartphones.Phones finally started to look the way they were shown in futuristic movies from decades ago. Sleek edges no bezels and big beautiful displays. It safe to say that not one company has held back from the bezel-less trend. From the likes of Vivo to Oppo and of course Samsung and Apple. So one would expect that with all these gorgeous great phones around, the classic iPhone 6 styled smartphone wouldn't stand a chance. Well think again. The 8 Is King According to CounterPoint  research, the iPhone 8 has beaten out its much flashier Android competition, Mainly the S9 and the S9+. Which might be explained by the abysmally low sales that the S9 family has been pulling in.The 8 even beat out its big brother the 8+ and the iPhone X. But moreover it shows a shift in consumer tastes that if Apple can tap, could lead...
