Do not adjust your set: Hats off to Apple, you struggle to shift iPhones 'cos you're oddly ethical

Neil Anderson

Re: Time to change the business model.

"several years behind Microsoft"

Funny how pundits often think that ... till Apple leapfrogs the competition. Like the Apple watch, for example.

"Apple sees nothing from second-hand trade"

Apple will buy certain iPhone models as a trade-in, refurbish them, and sell them for a profit.

Neil Anderson

"Apple sees nothing from second-hand trade"

Apple gets any app purchases or services the new buyer opts for.

Neil Anderson
Facepalm

Note to Apple: Be more like Microsoft

Neil Anderson

Little wonder

It wasn't so very long ago that anybody wanted to help Apple. Apple's suppliers and software makers turfed the company aside and left them along the roadside for dead. Can't really blame Apple for only wanting to rely on itself.

Latin plurals

You are correct, Craig. The plural of virus is viruses. It is not viri, or even worse, virii. True, the word comes directly from Latin, but not all Latin words ending in "us" have "i" as their plural. Viri is the Latin word for 'men' — plural of vir, man; root of the English "virile". There is no written attestation of a Latin plural for virus.

I have hands the size of a 12-year-old so it'll be easy to type on that teensy iPhone keyboard. And I fit inside sexy little Italian sports cars pretty good too. :)

Weather's great for flying

"I find it genuinely, cosmically, depressing that El Reg doesn't get the iPhone. A vulture chasing its own tail is so pitiful to watch."
