This week on the ÌÇÐÄVlog podcast, Neil and Victor talk about Apple's fiscal third-quarter 2017 earnings call, plus all the information that's hidden in the HomePod firmware.
If you had asked us a year ago, we would have said this was an Android phone.
editors and discuss:
- Apple Services was the star of the earnings call, at double the revenue Google makes.
- Mac unit sales are up slightly year over year, in a landscape where PC sales and revenue are down.
- Don't call it a comeback: The iPad is on the rebound.
- It doesn't look like there will be a dip in revenue ahead of the fall product launches.
- iPhone rumors: HomePod firmware leaks show an icon for the new iPhone - bezel-less with cameras at the top center.
- A split status bar.
- Tap to Wake.
- A 5.15" display area with 2436x1125 resolution - in addition to a separate "function area" screen below that.
- Facial detection and facial expression detection.
- HomePod will have 1GB RAM, may run apps (eventually).
