Já compras a 319€ desbloqueado. Eu comprei um para a minha mulher, e eh pá, não resisti. Acabei por ficar com ele. []
Sempre adorei o 5s (para mim é O telemóvel) e para o que costumo fazer, chega-me e sobra-me. Nota-se que a bateria não é tão boa como a do 6s e fiquei a perder em termos de 3d touch. De resto, estou plenamente satisfeito. Que saudades que tinha em segurar um telemóvel com uma mão!
Agora é esperar por março de 2018, porque acredito que ao SE lhe vá acontecer a mesma coisa do que ao iPhone 8, vai ter um ecrã sem molduras e crescer. Falando-se insistentemente num ecrã de 5" para o iPhone de 2017, a minha aposta vai para o SE manter o tamanho do actual mas crescer o ecrã até às 4"3. []
Tenho um 6S e percebo-te.
O 5S foi um marco, como o culminar do aperfeiçoamento da fórmula de sucesso.
Ainda hoje vejo imensas pessoas com 5S, tal como o 6, e em ambos os casos vejo clientes satisfeitos.
Por €319x unlocked não há dúvida, é boa opção.

Apple drops to No. 2 behind this company

Apple's (AAPL) epic fall on the stock market took a symbolic turn Thursday after its market value again dropped below its top rival's.
A more than 2% fall in Apple's stock price to $90.32 at the close Thursday compresses the value of Apple - once the most valuable company in the world by far - to $494.8 billion. That makes it second fiddle behind Google parent Alphabet(GOOGL) at $499.9 billion.
Shares of Apple have been in freefall this year, dropping more than 14%, amid the company's disappointing first-quarter results. It's the second time this year Alphabet's market value has surpassed Apple's. Apple has gone from being a lift for the market to a huge anchor and it was one of the biggest pressures on the Dow Thursday. Investors have watched $275 billion in market value vanish from Apple since it peaked in early 2015.
Investors are taking a more sobering look at Apple as all signs point to the smartphone market maturing, much as the personal computer market did. Apple reported first-quarter adjusted quarterly earnings of $1.90 a share, which was well below the $2 a share expected by analysts. It's not just a matter of just missing forecasts. Profit fell 18% from the same period a year ago. Revenue also missed expectations, falling about 12% to $50.6 billion, the biggest drop in revenue since the third-quarter of 2001, according to data from S&P Global Market Intelligence.
Apple has been under intense pressure from investors as its key product - a $650 smartphone - faces stiff competition as the market for pricey phones is now saturated and innovation has stalled. Consumers who wanted a high-end smartphone already have one and sometimes more. New features have been incremental at best and that is prompting many users to keep their phones longer.
Additionally, carriers have changed the terms of subsidies that helped consumers finance phones, which is causing some consumers to consider if the Apple product is worth the premium price. Meanwhile, in the developing world where there's more demand growth for smartphones, Apple must now take on Asian companies making handsets that have lower price tags and are usually running Alphabet's Android operating system. Apple has been slow to innovate and newer products like Apple Pay and Apple Music have fallen flat and demand for other product lines including tablets has been shrinking.
Analysts still remain steadfastly bullish on Apple shares - as they have long been - in a bet that's worked out until the stock hit the wall in February 2015. Analysts still have an 18-month price target on the stock of $123.96.
But the bullishness is fading as the market indicates something is amiss, especially as Alphabet picks up dominance in the low-end smartphone market and Microsoft (MSFT) is focused on profitable cloud services that add functionality to any device be it one running Apple's iOS, Alphabet's Android of its own Windows 10. UBS analyst Steven Milunovich this week cut his price target on Apple to $115 from $120. Milunovich downgraded his profit forecast as the race to buy the latest iPhone seems to be a thing of the past. "Upgrades to the iPhone 6 have been disappointing with an apparent lengthening of the upgrade cycle due to changing carrier plans and less feature differentiation," he wrote in a report to clients.

Mas o pessoal que escreve o mesmo aqui no tópico é apelidado de hater...
Comprei mais acções da Apple no último drop a $93 e comprei hoje mais um pouco a $91, estou bullish e long Apple, mas espero sinceramente que ultrapassem a visão enviesada e limitada dos seus fanboys e apareçam de facto com alguma inovação séria e real que justifique o preço que pedem, por um upgrade, a cada 6 meses.
Quanto às maiores empresas do mundo serem tecnológicas neste momento, não duvidem que o preço do petróleo vai voltar a subir, é um ciclo igual a tantos outros, mas é assunto para outros tópicos. Mas também não duvido que a Amazon, em poucos anos (talvez mais 5 anos), seja a empresa mais valiosa do mundo. E ao contrário da Apple, para a Amazon, não parecem haver limites!

Atenção ... cuidado com as compras. Há quem tenha incomensuravelmente mais informação do que nós e tenha vendido tudo. Eu tenho uma opinião diferente do Carl Icahn, ou pelo menos daquela que ele quis transmitir. A minha está em linha com o livro do Walter Isaacson : "Apple's closed architecture only works in the hands of Steve Jobs" (Bill Gates em 2004).
http://www.cnbc.com/2016/04/28/icahn-we-no-longer-have-a-position-in-apple.html
Icahn: We're out of Apple, and it's China's fault
Billionaire investor Carl Icahn told CNBC on Thursday he has sold hisApple position as the tech giant's stock continues to shed value after disappointing earnings.
"We no longer have a position in Apple," Icahn told CNBC's "Power Lunch," noting Apple is a "great company" and CEO Tim Cook is "doing a great job."
Icahn previously owned a little less than a percent of the tech giant's outstanding shares, which were down more than 3 percent midafternoon Thursday after falling more than 6 percent Wednesday. He said he made roughly $2 billion on Apple, a stock he continued to tout as "cheap" despite his reservations.

Full Icahn interview
Icahn said China's attitude toward Apple largely drove him to exit his position.
"You worry a little bit — and maybe more than a little — about China's attitude," Icahn said, later adding that China's government could "come in and make it very difficult for Apple to sell there ... you can do pretty much what you want there."
He added, though, that if China "was basically steadied," he would buy back into Apple.
‹
›
The company on Tuesday posted quarterly earnings of $1.90 per share on $50.56 billion in revenue, both of which missed Wall Street's expectations.
Apple's sales declined 13 percent from the prior-year period, its first year-over-year revenue drop since 2003. Sales of its key iPhone slid to 51.2 million from 61.2 million the previous year.
Why Apple's fall confirmed my worst fear about EVERY stock: Advisor
One area of weakness for Apple in the quarter was the Greater China segment — comprising mainland China, Taiwan and Hong Kong. Revenue for that region fell 26 percent year over year to $12.49 billion. Previously, that area had posted consistent growth for Apple.
Still, "we feel good about China," Cook told CNBC earlier this week.
"We remain very optimistic about the China market over the long term, and we are committed to investing there for the long run," Apple CFO Luca Maestri said Tuesday.
Icahn noted he called Cook to tell him he exited the position.
The activist investor purchased his Apple stake in 2013. He previously told CNBC buying into the company was a "no-brainer."
Last May, Icahn said he had a $240 per share price target on Apple when it traded around $130 per share. As recently as September, Icahn told CNBC he considered buying more of the company's stock, saying it looked cheap.

Como sabes compro posições para manter (assim espero) para sempre, estas quedas para mim são mel e um P/E de 10x com $50B de income dão muita segurança, isto porque estou interessado nos dividendos e não nos capital gains. Insisto que estou bullish, mas já senti a empresa mais forte e espero ver inovação real em breve.

Ofereceram-me um iPhone 6s Plus de momento e não entendo como é que um aparelho destes consegue pesar consideravelmente mais do que o opositor Android, tendo ainda menos 900 mAh que o S7 Edge.
A câmara fotográfica interna é boa e deixa-me mais bonita que o S7 Edge, mas a frontal é uma vergonha. Abertura de lente de meter medo. A bateria, como seria de esperar, dura menos.
Aqui o problema continua a ser o preço: Modelo mais antigo e ainda mais caro que o Samsung. Não compreendo isto... Mas vá, foi-me oferecido.
Factores positivos: O itouch ID é realmente muito rápido. Pelo que sei a Huawei também tem um sistema de reconhecimento da impressão digital que nem seque necessita ter um ecrã com luz, agrada-me a ideia, só não sei se é tão rápido como a Apple.
O 6S Plus são 5,5'' bem aproveitadas, coisa que não acontece no S7 Edge que come um pouco o ecrã devido às curvas. O brilho do ecrã não mete o S7 Edge a um canto... Coisa que eu pensava que, com o Super Amoled, isso acontecesse, mas nem de perto. Tem um bom brilho.
Sinto mais monotonia num Apple que num Samsung. Por isto, não fico convencida... Lá vou ter de me desfazer do "pequeno" Apple.
Fala-se aqui de rapidez mas... Impossível encontrar algum handicap nesse sentido nos dois grandes topos de gama, ambos são MUITO rápidos.

Apple invests $1 billion in Chinese ride-hailing service Didi Chuxing
Apple Inc (AAPL.O) said on Thursday it has invested $1 billion in Chinese ride-hailing service Didi Chuxing, a move that Apple Chief Executive Tim Cook said would help the company better understand the critical Chinese market.
The tech giant's rare investment gives it a stake in two burgeoning waves of technology - the sharing economy and car technology - as the iPhone business that propelled it to record profitability shows signs of maturing.
Apple is trying to reinvigorate sales in China, where it has come under greater pressure from regulators, and Cook is traveling to the country this month.
The move aligns Apple with Uber Technologies Inc's chief rival in China, as automakers and technology companies forge new alliances and make cross investments. General Motors (GM.N), for example, recently bought autonomous driving technology company Cruise Automation and has also taken a stake in U.S. ride-sharing company Lyft.
Cook said in an interview that he saw opportunities for Apple and Didi Chuxing to collaborate in the future.
"We are making the investment for a number of strategic reasons, including a chance to learn more about certain segments of the China market," he said. "Of course, we believe it will deliver a strong return for our invested capital over time as well."
Didi Chuxing, formerly known as Didi Kuaidi, said in a statement that this was the single largest investment it has ever received. The company, which previously raised several billion dollars, dominates the ride-sharing market in China. The company said it completes more than 11 million rides a day, with more than 87 percent of the market for private car-hailing in China.
Though Didi Chuxing is valued at upwards of $20 billion, according to a person familiar with its ongoing funding round, the company has been losing billions in a costly battle with Uber for market share in China.
"CONFIDENCE IN CHINA"
Analysts say the deal offers a glimpse of how Apple may diversify its business as sales of the iPhone level off. Apple has emphasized its burgeoning revenue from services such as Apple Music and mobile payment Apple Pay, a strategy that the ride-sharing investment appears to reinforce, said analyst Patrick Moorhead of Moor Insights & Strategy.
"After all the hints about the service business and what they would like to do in the future, it’s all starting to fit together," he said.
Investors are eagerly watching to see whether Apple will enter the automotive business. Apple has hired a wide range of automotive experts, and the company is exploring building a self-driving car, sources have told Reuters.
Cook said Apple remained focused on the in-car experience with its CarPlay system, which links smartphones to vehicle infotainment systems.
“That is what we do today in the car business, so we will have to see what the future holds," he said.
Although Apple's sales in China have slumped amid slowing economic growth there, Cook stressed he remained confident in the market.
"(The deal) reflects our excitement about their growing business ... and also our continued confidence in the long term in China’s economy," Cook said.
Apple has enjoyed warmer relations with the Chinese government than some American tech companies, but regulators recently shut down its online book and film services, triggering concerns among investors. The true value of Apple's investment in Didi might be in shoring up that relationship, said analyst Ben Bajarin of Creative Strategies.
"This is as much about sending signals about their seriousness in that country as it is about helping Didi build a ride-sharing platform," he said.
Didi Chuxing is a poster child for Chinese technology, a critical sector in Beijing's goal to shift the economy toward higher-value services.
Didi Chuxing executives have met with some of China's top leaders, including President Xi Jinping last December.
Jean Liu, Didi's president, is the daughter of Liu Chuanzhi, the politically connected founder of Chinese computer maker Lenovo Group Ltd (0992.HK).
"There's a lot of things we can work on together," she said when asked whether Didi Chuxing would help Apple's government relations in China.

Boas tardes.
Estou com um problema no meu iPhone, que passo a descrever.
Ontem acedi às definições afim de desligar os dados móveis, e ao querer sair para o menu ou mudar de ecrã o telefone deixou simplesmente de responder. Não respondia a nada fosse com o botão home para sair de onde estava ou com o de cima para bloquear, a luz do ecrã não desligava. Sendo que uso o assistive touch (que estava a responder aos comandos, embora o botão home pelo assistive touch também não respondesse), optei por bloquear ali o telefone e depois tentar desbloquear com o home. Conclusão, bloqueou e nunca mais fez nada.
É impossível mexer nele embora o mesmo esteja ligado, toca e vibra ao receber chamadas mas o ecrã permanece preto e a nível de botões só dá para aumentar e diminuir o volume da chamada.
Tentei fazer um restauro com o iTunes, mas tenho de desligar o "Find my iPhone" no telemóvel. Se não é possivel mexer no telemóvel não dá para fazer nada :sh).
Já experimentei todas as formas de reset com o botão de cima e home e não desliga nem por nada.
Alguém sabe mais alguma forma de desligar isto sem ser mandar-lhe uma machadada? Preciso do telefone e não consigo fazer nada de nada
Estou com um problema no meu iPhone, que passo a descrever.
Ontem acedi às definições afim de desligar os dados móveis, e ao querer sair para o menu ou mudar de ecrã o telefone deixou simplesmente de responder. Não respondia a nada fosse com o botão home para sair de onde estava ou com o de cima para bloquear, a luz do ecrã não desligava. Sendo que uso o assistive touch (que estava a responder aos comandos, embora o botão home pelo assistive touch também não respondesse), optei por bloquear ali o telefone e depois tentar desbloquear com o home. Conclusão, bloqueou e nunca mais fez nada.
É impossível mexer nele embora o mesmo esteja ligado, toca e vibra ao receber chamadas mas o ecrã permanece preto e a nível de botões só dá para aumentar e diminuir o volume da chamada.

O iPhone desliga-se completamente pressionando ambos os botões, Home + Sleep, por uns segundos e NÃO LARGANDO mesmo que apareça o logotipo da Apple (maça). Aí ele desliga-se.
