why the Surface Pro 4 beats the iPad Pro, Tim Cook’s warning to the UK’s Government, support for Live Photos in Facebook and Tumblr, a transcription of Apple’s ’60 Minutes’ appearance on CBS, and a curious tip to save battery life in OSX.
Apple Loop is here to remind you of a few of the very many discussions that have happened around Apple over the last seven days (and you can read the weekly digest of Android news here on Forbes).
Leaked Dates For The iPhone Mini
MacRumours covers a China Mobile presentation that suggests April 2016 as the launch date for the presumptively titled iPhone 6C. The four-inch variant of the current handset family would tie in with previous rumors and presumably be announced alongside the Apple Watch 2 in March. I’m not convinced, but Apple is going to disappoint followers if it releases a 6C… or if it never appears.
Professional gamblers have a phrase that is appropriate here. Thanks to trading markets and multiple bookmakers, the basic strategy is to bet on wins and losses so that no matter the result you will turn a profit. This is ‘greening up’, so named because of the profit/loss coloring on the major trading sites. When that happens, an event is no longer about a gamble, because it’s win-win.
Apple has managed to do the exact opposite with the iPhone 6C, the company has ‘redded up’. Release the iPhone 6C and you have disappointment and negative press. Don’t release the iPhone 6C and you have disappointment and negative press.forbes, image;Ewan Spence)
