Apple Sells 3.27 Million iPads in June


Even if the current bad press from the iPhone 4 had any real and lasting effect on the company’s reputation, Apple’s June quarterly numbers should be enough to remind everyone that there is a reason that Apple surpassed rival Microsoft in market capitalization.

In the financial quarter that ended in June, Business Insider is reporting that Apple reportedly shipped 3.27 million iPads, 3.47 million Macs, and 9.4 million iPods. The iPhone 4 managed to ship out an impressive 8.4 million units, which is slightly below estimates, but the number does not factor in backorders and delays which would have increased that number by several million. Also keep in mind that the iPhone just launched on June 24, six days before the quarter ended.

To put those numbers in perspective, the company earned $3.25 billion on $15.7 billion of revenue in the June quarter, and it is expecting to do even better next quarter, with estimates as high as $18 billion in revenue. So much for that whole “antennagate” issue.

Yes, Apple’s FineWoven iPhone 15 cases really are that bad

When Apple revealed the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro during its Wonderlust event, it also announced that in its efforts to be more carbon neutral, it would no longer be selling leather accessories. In place of leather, Apple unveiled a new FineWoven accessory lineup that includes iPhone cases, MagSafe wallets, and even Apple Watch bands.

I typically don’t use Apple’s official cases. I never cared for the silicone ones because it’s too easy for lint to collect around the edges on those, and they tend to stick to the insides of my pockets. The leather ones seemed nice, but I never cared for the open-bottom design of them from several years ago, so I never bought one as I prefer full protection.

iPhone 15 Pro vs. iPhone 13 Pro: is it time to upgrade?
iPhone 15 Pro vs iPhone 14 Pro

The iPhone 15 Pro series, released this year, comes with significant design changes, which include a titanium body for the first time. The new models boast improved camera quality, a second-generation Ultra Wideband chip, and a new 3nm A17 Pro chip. While these features are impressive, some may not find them compelling enough to upgrade from the iPhone 14 Pro.

But what about the iPhone 13 Pro? When comparing the 2023 iPhone 15 Pro to the 2021 iPhone 13 Pro, it's no surprise that the differences are considerably longer. Whether these differences are significant enough for you to switch depends on whether you could benefit from them and are willing to pay the price of upgrading.

Apple’s iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro are now widely available, and so far, it appears they’ve been a massive success. The iPhone 15 is a huge upgrade from previous base models thanke to the Dynamic Island, a 48MP main camera, the A16 Bionic chipset, and a USB-C port.

But people who want even more have the iPhone 15 Pro as an option. Apple has replaced the stainless steel frame with titanium, the mute switch is gone in favor of the mighty Action button, and we have the A17 Pro with more RAM — plus two additional focal lengths for the 48MP main camera.
