  • "App Store 2.0: The App Store changed the way we buy software. Can Apple do it again?" ["In a rare pre-WWDC sit-down interview with the The Verge, Phil Schiller, Apple's senior vice president of worldwide marketing, said that Apple would soon alter its revenue-sharing model for apps. While the well-known 70 / 30 split will remain, developers who are able to maintain a subscription with a customer longer than a year will see Apple's cut drop down to 15 percent."]  The Verge 12:33 PM

  • "No One Wants to Be Apple: Something has changed in 2016. As the smartphone growth era winds down and we begin to look for the next big thing in tech, there has been a surge in pessimism pointed towards Apple's business model. With many of Silicon Valley's software and services giants doubling down on their core competencies and becoming more vocal as to where technology may be headed, one thing is clear: No one wants to be Apple."  Above Avalon 2:45 PM
  • "The era of tech firms 'copying Apple' is coming to an end: With billions of dollars in the bank, and 35 percent net operating margins you'd think every tech firm would want to be like Apple. But according to analyst Neil Cybart, the envy is wearing off as Apple optimism turns to pessimism, and tech firms no longer want to copy Apple's playbook." ZDNet 4:10 PM
  • "Apple Management's Greed For Profits And Self Interest Tripping Up Shareholders" ["I must say that trying to milk profits out to each and every product is never ever a bad thing but doing so at the cost of innovation or the fear of cannibalization is scary from a shareholder point of view. We are hearing chatter about a possible all-glass iPhone in the fall of 2017 which is laughable when one sees that Samsung is about to unveil its bendable OLED phones early next year. If true, yet again Apple will be left behind timidly shouting 'me too'."]  Forbes 7:14 AM
