The agreement still doesn’t include products that might directly compete with Amazon’s offerings.

      Actually you are completely wrong Apple doesn't "invest most of its cash back into R&D" and they are in fact "sitting on piles of cash" as you put it, almost $250Billion cash. The reason for accumulating the most "cash" in a company (other than Financial companies like banks that operate with cash) is the huge profit margin on their products.

When you have Android phone and you find a bug very likely it won't never get fixed or atleast going to take very long time to fix because there's so few same phones in use what you have.

          Haha, That was so hilarious, that won't never happen, it going to reach propably 3% share before new Android version already out :D and then same happens again with new Android version. Android is big fragmented mess with full of bugs. You won't hear them because no-one cares.

              AnonD-731363, 11 Nov 2018Nut new doesnt matter but in global everybody uses android.... moreEach new version of android has a slow adoption rate, thus giving gooleg a long time to fix a many of the bugs. It takes 1.5 to 2 years for a version of android to slowly become mainstream.

              Since the adoption rate is low and the user base low as well, bugs are continuously discovered over that 1.5-2 year period. So because you don’t hear about the bugs that much (because 0.1% of the user base doesn’t have a strong voice globally) it doesn’t mean that the OS version has a low number of bugs.

              Android comes with fixes for around 300 bugs and issues over the first two years of its realease.
              Now compare that to Apple, which sees a 50% adoption rate in the first 1-2 weeks after it releases a new iOS version, after which they need to fix 3-10 bugs in the first 3 months. And another 5 over the next year.

              But the number of people seeing and mentioning those bugs in the first 3 months of the release is far far far greater than the number of users seeing and talking about android bugs in the first 12 months of a new version release.

                        Things such as pinch to zoom, multitouch, 3D touch, FaceID, Truetone Display, proper implementation of gestures, etc. are all things that Apple brought to the market and you and other companies now take for granted. Those things have to come from somewhere and they need to be created with tomorrow's technology which doesn't exist today.
                        Being a trillion dollar company just mean it's worth a trillion. But they don't sit on piles of cash, as most of that money is invested in different departments of the company.

                        So you should be grateful that they are a trillion dollar company who chooses to invest in R&D and engineering, thus creating tomorrow's ideas and technologies that the masses will then have access to once other manufacturers start copying and implementing them into their devices. They brought you almost everything that you use in your smarphone today.

                          Anonymous, 10 Nov 2018Great news. Its so funny to see the Apple haters comments, ... moreApple doesn't continue to grow in sales but it does continue to make more profit. Look at the phone division, their shipments did not increase much this year, in fact they have dropped to third biggest phone maker and Huawei have overtaken them to claim second.

                          But their profits certainly rose due to their increased profit margin. Apple fan boys would celebrate this by saying "our company made more profit than the top 2 combined (Samsung/Huawei)" but they are the losers getting ripped off with low cost to produce handset at ridiculous profit margins. The fanboys act as if Apple is their Uncles company, they fail to realise they are just the ignorant sheep for the Butcher (Apple).

                                    This is just to push all those -user refurbished- sellers out of Amazon. Finally!!
                                    All these people and small repair shops opening up Apple devices and doing repairs and refurbishments the wrong way and thus causing the devices to not operate as intended.

                                    It happened countless times for someone to buy refurbished or repaired devices from sellers or shops, which would then stop working after a few months. If Apple does the repairs and refurbishments, everything works perfectly and you get free warranty for the repair. The repair being done with the proper tools and with original parts and components.

                                    Just like Ferrari / etc. - once you buy a car from them you should only service it and repair it at their shops and garages. If you go to local rapair shops which are not authorised by and did not get the proper training from Ferrari, you lose your warranty. And if your car gets more damage afterwards, Ferrari will refuse to repair it because unauthorised hands mendled with it.

                                      Good for Apple, Amazon and Apple customers i guees. Then all is happy.
                                      I dont see any reason for HATE this, just because u guys as me, dont like Apple products.
                                      Strange way to behave.
