My thoughts from

’s last quarter truly stood the test of time: “but in the broader picture, customers are willing to wait very, very long times to get their products.” Apple reported an all-time high in Q1 2022 DESPITE easing shortage crisis.

"[Apple] did miss expectations, but across the board, they had solid growth... [supply constraints] are concerning, but in the broader picture, customers are willing to wait very, very long times to get their products.” Final thoughts on Apple's earnings this quarter.

Apple reported a 43.8% gross margin. That is very strong for Apple. - 38.4% gross margin for Products (HW). That's up from 35.1% last year. - 72.4% gross margin for Services. That may be an all-time record for Services.

Another Apple quarter is now in the history books.

How do you like them Apples? Apple net profits expand 20% to all-time record $34.6bn, with revenues up 11% to $123.9bn despite chip shortage. *New numbers for installed base* 1.8bn *New numbers for services user base* 785m

So, Apple previously rendered Face with Hand Over Mouth emoji with open eyes, while everyone else had it smiley. With today’s betas, Apple conformed to be smiley & moved the old rendering over to the new Face with Open Eyes and Hand Over Mouth emoji.

Alright. I’ll be the first to apologize for complaining that Universal Control was taking too long to appear. It was 200% worth the wait.

Holy wow Universal Control is incredible. This is me moving between a MacBook Pro, an iPad mini, and an iPad Pro using just the MacBook trackpad and keyboard. It's aware of position, lets you drag files, and supports iPadOS gestures. The hype was real and it all just works

This feels like an indirect message that we’re never going to get Touch ID + Face ID combo on an iPhone.

I’m glad it got fixed, but it shouldn’t require several bad headlines and unfavorable press coverage to “inspire” Apple to address it.

Developers were having issues with iCloud for months & doing everything they could to voice their issues to Apple’s dev support team. The support system is seemingly incapable of fixing issues itself as it only got patched after MacRumors ran a story on it, with others following.

This is a concerning trend with Apple, the App Store, and the developer community. It only seems something gets looked into and treated like an actual problem that’s worth fixing unless it’s generating bad press. It shouldn’t be like that.

Reflecting on the whole iCloud kerfuffle, I think one major issue is that none of us know how to escalate a critical problem to the right person. Support folks usually lack an understanding of the context, the dev forums aren’t monitored, and radars are likely backlogged.

It's really the same pattern of events every quarter - analysts say they're concerned over $AAPL, "threats of chip crisis," stay pessimistic on earnings, then

@Apple

shocks everyone and announces it made a bazillion $ every second.

By the way, Intel has since made these ads private because they realized how embarrassing they were.

Google Is Forcing Me to Dump a Perfectly Good Phone

"Despite being just three years old, no Pixel 3 will ever receive another official security update." This is planned obsolesces. Google says three years of security updates provide a "great experience." The iPhone 6S (7 years old) still gets updates.

vice.com

Three years ago, my Pixel 3 was the latest and greatest Google phone. Now, the company has stopped providing software updates, making it a security risk to use.
