Restrictions on US firms trading with #Huawei starting to bite-AMD, Micron & Western Digital won't be supplying components in future. #Intel & Seagate expected to stop soon. Difficult to make commercially successful laptops without Intel or AMD chips...

#Apple's refocus on installed base and reach - selling services to the 900m global iPhones installed base. No doubt Apple has some very compelling services, but considering the life-cycle of phones is 18-24 months any service play depends on continuing to sell a lot of hardware

The story is shifting towards services and content as Apple try to own the platform and experience rather than the device in future #apple #iphone

#Apple's fiscal Q1 reporting (calendar Q4) won't show #iPhone shipments for the first time as the company focuses away from the declining smartphone market where iPhone shipments have been flat, and avoid reporting Christmas shipments which are typically 1/3rd of annual total

These #8K TV launches strike me as a classic Prisoner's Dilemma for brands - either stick to an OLED TV message and freeze Samsung out; or defect - and launch 8K products before their time has really come. Samsung still commands fear so the rest feel forced to follow?

Large-format screens are having a major revival as the market for small screens plateaus - check out Samsung's 75" modular micro LED display, LG's rollable OLED and Apple's TV integration for iTunes / AirPlay / HomeKit #oled #microLED #Samsung #LG #Apple #ces2019

Looks like Samsung S10 will be notch-less with a hole cut directly in the OLED panel for the camera (the jargon is Hole in Active Area or HIAA) #smartphones #ces #oled https://t.co/XegO3ThJP1
