- According to the New York Times, unconfirmed reports suggest Apple are rethinking their unconfirmed and unannounced plans to build a self driving car. "In a retrenchment of one of its most ambitious initiatives, Apple has shuttered parts of its self-driving car project and laid off dozens of employees, according to three people briefed on the move who were not allowed to speak about it publicly."
- Om Malik, writing in the New Yorker this week had a great piece on the iPhone's history eating into the Point and Shoot Camera Market. As Malik explains, the first great iPhone camera was the iPhone 4 - the same year instagram launched. In that year, 122m cameras were sold. In 2015, that number was 35million. Malik thinks the dual-lens system in the iPhone 7 Plus may eat into the micro four-thirds and dslr market in the same way the point and shoot market was decimated.
- And the said iPhone 7 Plus HAS NOT EVEN SHIPPED YET, but that hasn't stopped KGI Securities analyst and iPhone rumour expert Ming-Chi Kuo from predicting next years models. Kuo doesn't expect to see the dual-lens camera system in next year's smaller iPhone. According to Kuo, cost considerations and a niche appeal for the dual camera, which is found only on the larger iPhone 7 Plus model this year, mean that the feature is likely to remain exclusive to "high-end" models in 2017 as well. Presumably this means the dual camera would again appear only on so-called "iPhone 8 Plus" models should Apple continue to offer similar product lineups.
