GM's cheaper-than-Tesla 'leccy car tested at batt-powered data centre

Re: Don't believe it

It doesn't mean Chevy can make 200 mile range and they can compare it with Tesla. I rather squeeze another $5k for Tesla, a company has been proven the king of EV.

Ugly Car

When Tesla Model 3 is released, it'll make this Bolt look like garbage. Tesla is 5 years ahead anyone in this field and there's nothing they can do to change that in the next 5 years.

Ditch your boring iPhone for a hot Android piece, says Google's TOTALLY UNBIASED Eric Schmidt

Android?

Android wasn't intended for touchscreen device until Schmidt walked out of the first iPhone event in 2007. How did android look like back then? Well, look at Google phone in 2007 and you'd know. It's like Blackberry with physical keys. All the sudden, after iPhone, all android user interface is just like iOS. Yup. That's the fact.

Apple big-screen TV rumor zombie RISES FROM THE DEAD

Re: Overhyped Apple TV?

Full iOS TV will sell like a hot cake if it's priced right. Let's see:

1. You can play iOS games on it using iPod/iPhone/iPad as controllers or Apple designed controller made by Logitech: Who still wants PlayStation or Xbox?

2. Full browser, better than those crappy ones currently in LG and Samsung TVs using iPod/iPhone/iPad as touch pad/mouse and compatible with Apple existing touch pad or magic mouse: who want PC at home anymore?

3. Build-in camera for Facetime

4. Airplay, Airdrop, Siri integrated of course

5. Last but not least, proximity control just like Kinect (Kinect proximity control sucks by the way).

Is that enough to call revolutionizing TV? I guess so.

Re: Given a choice

That's what people called ignorant. Apple never made a smartphone before, and then it came in 2007 to set a foundation for all smart phones nowadays. Apple designed monitors were better than most monitors out there, remember Apple Cinema Display? If Apple has made best monitors and a great streaming device like Apple TV, what is so hard for them to combine these two with some added features that set Apple apart from others?

What about Apple creates a full iOS TV set which use iPhone/iPod/iPad as controllers for games and other apps, browsers and such loaded within TV itself? That ecosystem will have no competition. Imagine what Sony PlayStation and MS Xbox will feel at that time. That's how Apple revolutionize their products and people are willing to pay a higher price to get their hands on that ecosystem.

Prejudgemental

You are. If you looked at iPad when it was first released, no one could match the price without losing profit. It took a while until parts got cheaper so other manufacturer could compete with Apple on iPad price. You'll never know they could release a 55"-60" smart TV with full iOS for < $2000 and will sell extremely well. 60" or even 55" iOS TV under $2000, I would buy it without question. Look at high end 55" Samsung or LG TVs, they're well over $2000.

iPhone 5S: 64-bit A7, 128GB storage, flashy ƒ/2.0 camera, and...

Re: Probably overdue to bump flash sizes

8GB is no longer relevant for apps nowadays since a lot of iOS games would take around 1GB, some more, some less. You're okay with 16GB because you don't store games in your phone like others do. I would say 32GB should be a standard storage nowadays.

So it could be: i5s at 32/64/128GB ($199/$299/$399), i5 at 32/64 ($99/$199) only and maybe i5c is just available at 16GB (free) with subsidy. If Apple will have 128GB i5s and keep i5 as mid-range model, you'll see i5 will have the similar storage space as 5s which starts from 32GB and let the low end i5c to take over 16GB storage.

Peak Apple: Samsung hits DOUBLE the market share of iPhones
