The Bloomberg Advantage: Kaplan, Butler on Apple iPhone Sales

By

The Bloomberg Advantage with Carol Massar and Cory Johnson brought in guests Jeremy Kaplan, Editor-in-Chief at Digital Trends and John Butler, Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Telecom Analyst to discuss Apple’s Q3 results. While the stocks are up both Kaplan and Butler agree the once innovative company is no longer the inspirational business it once was. There have been huge declines in sales across the board and Kaplan proposes it is “the market reacting to products that they aren’t excited about.” The iPhone to be released in September is going to be an awfully lot like the iPhone we all currently have. One suggestion is for Apple to rethink their strategy of keeping their research and development so secretive. Simply giving a little glimpse into what they are working on for future releases, maybe things in the automotive vertical or even any VR/AR applications, would bring instant excitement to their consumers.

In a recent Windows Insider Blog post, Microsoft announced it's adding the option for iPhone users to access their phones from the Start menu. Thanks to a special widget next to the Start menu, when you connect your phone, you can see data such as notifications, battery indicators, recent contacts, connection status, and more.

To enjoy this feature, you must use the recent Windows 11 preview build from the Dev and Beta channels, and you must be a Windows Insider. You must also update the Phone Link app to version 1.24121.30.0 or higher, have a Microsoft account, and have a PC that supports Bluetooth LE. Microsoft said it does not support PCs running Pro Education or Education SKUs. Even if this doesn't affect you, the update is rolling out in phases, so reaching your PC might take some time if you don't already have it.

If you wish to use an iPhone with virtually no bezels around the screen, you will need to wait a little longer than initially thought. A new industry report says the release of Apple's long-rumored OLED display with "zero bezels" for the iPhone has slid further into an uncertain timeline.

South Korean outlet The Elec, which was the first to report of the existence of a "zero-bezel" iPhone display, has now reported the launch date is unforeseeable because the technology "is not yet developed enough."
