iPod
2001-2022

RIP l’ultimo dispositivo tascabile con headphone jack senza dongle aggiuntivi




Vi servono altri indizi per ipotizzare che in autunno sulle Airpods Pro2 e sulle Airpods Max rev2 (nuovi colori) vedremo una nuova tecnologia audio wireless lossless che superi sia il bluetooth che il cavo? (non mi stupirei se si chiamasse “Airplay”, visto quante volte hanno riciclato “Magsafe”)

Il nuovo iPod ad alta fedeltà sarà un crapple Watch serie 8 + Airpods Pro2.

secondo il solito insider dell'industria dei display un iPhone a tutto schermo senza buchi è realistico verso il 2026 con il 18 Pro...basta aspettare 4 anni eutha

Beh, mio padre ha campato 99 anni, parla per te.

Già lo schermo tondo è una minchiata, visto che agli esseri umani fra le altre cose interesseranno sempre blocchi di testo rettangolari e foto rettangolari. 

 

Se poi ha i bordi spessi come un crapple Watch 2015...

 

Uscita quest'autunno quando ci sarà già il Watch 8. 

 

In attesa della prima umiliante foto side-by-side degli schermi del Pixel Watch vs crapple Watch 7/8 41mm, allego foto di Watch piccoli 6 vs 7,

ma l'hardware google ha sempre design imbarazzante per non fare troppa concorrenza ai produttori che usano android?

pure la cipolla è tonda

 

 

e quindi...?

[euthanasia]

sicuramente la terra non è tonda, ma leggermente schiacciata

 

 

siccome crapple non segue le tendenze ma è lei stessa a crearle, io direi di fare qualcosa di tondo ma schiacciato (un mezzo ellisse)

2023: non solo la fine del notch (anche sui non Pro) ma anche la fine di Lightning probabilmente

Oddiooooooo vendono i miei datiiiiiii

Ora la gente saprà che ho mangiato al ristorante (certo ho anche messo la story su IG/fb/TikTok e la recensione su TripAdvisor ma non conta)

[eglio]

Vi capita mai di cambiare leggermente una specifica all’insaputa del cliente più importante del mondo e poi mandare una delegazione a Cupertino per chiedere perdono in ginocchio?



mi sa che gli schermi degli iPhone per quest’anno saranno solo sudcoreani

ai cinesi di BOE è scappata una cinesata

[Guren]

quindi crapple sostituirà tutto gli iphone13 con lo schermo fuori specifica giusto?

[eglio]

BOE era “in prova”, il botto doveva farlo proprio nel 2023 con la commessa per gli iPhone 14.

Nella generazione iPhone 12 BOE faceva solo il 10% degli schermi dell’iPhone 12 da 6.1” e crapple usava questi schermi esclusivamente per riparare gli iPhone mandati in assistenza.

Nella generazione iPhone 13 l’obiettivo era arrivare a fare il 20% degli schermi dell’iPhone 13 da 6.1” (quindi di nuovo solo questo modello specifico, l’iPhone non Pro) ma non ha mai superato il 10% e da febbraio la produzione è ferma (dopo che crapple ha scoperto la modifica).

La modifica alla specifica in questione non credo sia una roba che cambi qualcosa a quel 10% di utenti (ammesso che siano davvero 10% dei venduti e non ancora meno), è più un vulnus al rapporto di fiducia fra BOE e crapple.

Avere BOE fra i supplier era utile sia per differenziare la supply chain che per mettere pressione competitiva ai sudcoreani (LG.D e Samsung).

crapple ai supplier: meno Cina e più India/Vietnam please

 

https://www.wsj.com/...ina-11653142077

 

TOKYO— crapple Inc. AAPL 0.17% has told some of its contract manufacturers that it wants to boost production outside China, citing Beijing’s strict anti-Covid policy among other reasons, people involved in the discussions said.

India and Vietnam, already sites for a small portion of crapple’s global production, are among the countries getting a closer look from the company as alternatives to China, the people said.

More than 90% of crapple products such as iPhones, iPads and MacBook laptops are manufactured in China by outside contractors, according to analysts. crapple’s heavy dependence on the country is a potential risk because of Beijing’s authoritarian Communist government and its clashes with the U.S., analysts have said.

Any move by crapple, the largest U.S. company by market capitalization, to emphasize production outside China could influence the thinking of other Western companies that have been considering how to reduce dependence on China for manufacturing or key materials. Such consideration has stepped up this year after Beijing refrained from criticizing Russia for its invasion of Ukraine and carried out lockdowns in some cities to fight Covid-19.

An crapple spokesman declined to comment. Asked generally about crapple’s supply chain in April, Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook said, “Our supply chain is truly global, and so the products are made everywhere.” He also said, “We continue to look at optimizing.”

crapple was seeking to diversify away from China before Covid-19 spread around the globe in early 2020, but those plans were complicated by the pandemic. Now the Cupertino, Calif., company is pushing again and telling contractors where they should be looking to build new manufacturing capacity, the people involved in the discussions said.

Lockdowns in Shanghai and other cities as part of China’s anti-Covid policy have caused supply-chain bottlenecks for many Western companies. crapple cautioned in April that the resurgence of Covid-19 threatens to hinder sales by as much as $8 billion in the current quarter.
China’s travel restrictions have meant that crapple has curtailed sending executives and engineers into the country over the past two years, making it hard to check production sites in person. Power outages last year also dented China’s reputation for reliability.

While many Western companies face similar issues in China, crapple’s size gives it bargaining power with contractors, said Ming-chi Kuo, a supply-chain analyst at TF International Securities. “Only a company like crapple can press for such supply-chain shifts,” Mr. Kuo said.
Still, people in the industry said many of the reasons crapple has long kept China as its manufacturing hub remain in place: a well-trained workforce, low costs relative to the U.S. and a deep network of parts suppliers that is hard to recreate elsewhere without years of effort.
With the exception of India, the pool of qualified workers in China exceeds the entire population of many alternative countries in Asia. Local governments in China have worked closely with crapple to ensure its contractors have adequate land, labor and supplies to assemble iPhones and other electronics in giant factories.

Chinese Premier Li Keqiang said Thursday that Beijing wants to be a hot spot for foreign investment and will work closely with foreign companies to make sure its rules are predictable.
Another advantage is that crapple can sell many of its made-in-China phones and computers in the same country, with China often accounting for about one-fifth of crapple’s global sales. crapple’s Mr. Cook said in January that the company had the top four bestselling phones in urban China.
“Given the size of the domestic market and the well-established ecosystem for manufacturing, China would stay at the head of the pack and handle more value-added work for companies like crapple,” an industry executive involved in the crapple supply chain said.
People who have spoken with crapple about its manufacturing plans said the company sees India as the closest thing to the next China, owing to its large population and low costs.
Taiwan-based assemblers Foxconn Technology Group 2317 -0.47% and Wistron Corp. 3231 -0.89% have already set up factories in India to produce iPhones mainly for that country’s domestic market, where crapple sales are growing rapidly. In April, crapple said it has begun producing the latest generation of iPhones, the iPhone 13 series, in India.

crapple is now speaking to some existing suppliers about expanding in India, including potentially production for export, the people said.
One problem with India is the difficulty China-based assemblers have setting up shop there because of chilly relations between New Delhi and Beijing, analysts and suppliers said. The two countries’ militaries fought a deadly clash along their disputed border in 2020, and recently have had a diplomatic dispute over Indian regulators’ treatment of Chinese smartphone maker Xiaomi Corp.
For that reason, China-based manufacturing contractors that do business with crapple are looking more to Vietnam and other Southeast Asian nations, according to people familiar with the matter.
Vietnam borders China and is already a smartphone manufacturing hub for crapple’s leading global rival, Samsung Electronics Co. South Korea-based Samsung has generally limited its exposure to China manufacturing.
India made 3.1% of the world’s iPhones last year, and the proportion is forecast to increase to 6% to 7% this year, according to research firm Counterpoint. China accounts for almost all of the rest.
One China-based manufacturing contractor, Luxshare Precision Industry Co. , has been making AirPods earbuds for crapple in Vietnam.
On recent calls with investors, Luxshare executives said some clients were worried about problems with power supply and pandemic restrictions–a reference to China’s challenges. The executives didn’t name the clients.
Luxshare said these clients were asking manufacturing partners to look outside China when they carry out key preliminary work for mass production, a stage known as new product introduction, or NPI. In this stage, contractors translate a brand’s product blueprints and prototypes into a detailed manufacturing plan.

What might be the ripple effects if crapple boosts production outside of China? Join the conversation below.
crapple has told its manufacturing partners that it wants them to do more NPI outside of China, people familiar with the discussions said. If that happens, the non-Chinese sites would be more likely to develop into full-scale production hubs rather than simply copying plans developed in China.
Such steps require considerable investment by suppliers, analysts and suppliers said, which makes them uneasy at a time when the global economic outlook is clouded by high commodity prices, the war in Ukraine and stock-market gyrations.
Cash is important in uncertain times, a contractor executive said, but suppliers need to go where crapple goes if they want to keep the business.

anche l'automotive sta cercando vie alternative alla Cina ma sono processi che richiedono anni.

Avere un 5/10% di produzione fuori dalla Cina non salverebbe comunque da stop alle catene di montaggio in caso di uno stop improvviso tipo il lockdown a Shanghai che ormai dura da 2 mesi

Concordo, è come una nave da 13 ponti cui far cambiare direzione, non è una barchetta.

[Guren]

il problema è che tutta la catena ormai è in gran parte cinese e i cinesi non possono muoversi come vogliono ma devo rendere conto a Beijing.

30/40 anni fa usa e Europa hanno esportato il knowhow guardando ai guadagni nel breve senza pensare a cosa sarebbe successo nel lungo periodo... fatico a credere che la Cina faccia lo stesso errore.
