Tim Cook's guard is the lowest in the world, at $ 310
Apple revealed that the insurance and guarding of its boss, "Tim Cook," cost Apple only $ 310 in 2018, and Tim had assigned Apple in 2015 an insurance of $ 700, and thus Tim Cook became the least expensive official in the major companies; For example, Alphabet is spending $ 600 to insure the head of Google. Intel spent $ 1.2 million to insure its Amazon boss, so it spent $ 1.6 million to insure Jeff Bezos. The head of Facebook is considered the most expensive, as his company spent 7.3 million in 2017 and he expects the number to reach $ 10 million in 2018, a huge increase, as it cost his company only 2.3 million in 2013.
It is noteworthy that the insurance of technical officials is not intended to protect against assassination, such as politicians, but rather to protect against piracy, espionage and privacy, so that companies rent a private plane for the transportation of leaders for fear of passengers spying on the secrets of their companies whose value exceeds the budgets of countries.
New in Apple's Qualcomm war
Qualcomm defended itself in the case against it with monopoly that without Qualcomm, the iPhone would not exist in the first place; Qualcomm added that it has a prominent role in the form that smart phones have reached in their current form, so the amounts and fees that they request are not high or illegal, but rather in return for the services they do.
◉ Jeff William, in charge of Apple's COO operations, stated that Qualcomm refused to provide Apple with the iPhone XS / XR SIM cards due to Apple's refusal to pay the license fee. It is reported that Qualcomm requires that companies pay fees to purchase the chip and license fees (fees for using the chip) in exchange for selling them the products. Apple explained that this decision to refuse the sale is the reason for Apple's delay in providing 5G services
◉ A German court has dismissed a new Qualcomm patent infringement case against Apple.
IPhone XI rumors
Several sites have spread rumors about the upcoming iPhone, such as the new design of the camera, which we talked about in a previous article -this linkHere are the most prominent new rumors:
◉ Triple for higher copies: Rumors revealed that Apple has already decided to use the triple camera in the iPhone XI and the device will come with it. The cheaper phone, the successor to the Xr, will come with a dual camera like the current Xs.
◉ Front cameraApple relies on the 7/8 / X / Xs / XR in the front camera on a capacity of 7 megabytes, and improvements are being made to it. But the news says that Apple will introduce an all-new camera in XI, where the capacity will be increased to 10 megabytes and the sensors and lenses will be changed.
◉ No C port: Despite the strong rumors that Apple will permanently switch to the C port, reports have begun saying that Apple will postpone an additional year and continue to launch the iPhone with the same since the traditional charging.
Apple releases iPhone Xs / Xr case
◉ Apple released the iPhone Xs / Xr case, as well as the Max version. The new cover comes with a storage capacity that deceived many sites, as the Xs version came with a capacity of 1369 mAh compared to 1877mah for the cover of the iPhone 6 / 6s and 2365mah for the cover of the iPhone 7, so the sites remember that the capacity is less, but actually the storage capacity is calculated in WH, i.e. the product of the volts and amperes . And Apple has used higher-volt batteries. For comparison, the cover of the iPhone XS with a capacity of 10.1Wh (1369mah), the cover of the iPhone 6 / 6s, its capacity is 7.13, and the cover of the iPhone 7 with a capacity of 8.98Wh, where Apple used batteries with double volts of 7.37 volts compared to the traditional 3.79 volts in previous versions. It is reported that the cover price is $ 129 for either the iPhone Xs, XR or the Max.
◉ The new shipping cover sale page on the Apple Malaysia website revealed the cover's support for the disappeared Apple AirPower charger, and this is the first time in a while that it returns, so give the name of the shipper to Apple websites after the company deleted everything related to its product that it has failed to launch so far. It is worth noting that Apple later deleted the phrase about the charger from the product page.
◉ iPhone XS case buyers revealed that it actually works with iPhone X without any problems.

In a paper leaked to newspapers, the United States airline revealed that Apple is its most important customer and spends $ 150 million annually on tickets.

Samsung launches the S10 on February 20, and the iPhone XS is faster
Samsung announced that it will be scheduled for February 20, after a month and 3 days, to launch its newest phone, the S10, which will come with a new design, a "O" camera, and the latest SD855 processor. It will also provide a copy of it later that supports the fifth generation networks. Reports said that Samsung has postponed the launch of its foldable phone to April, because Huawei will launch a similar phone at the WMC conference in the period between February 25-28, and Samsung leaders preferred to wait for recognition so that there is no preference for the Huawei phone.

Apple: We replaced 11 million batteries for a price of $ 29
Apple said that it changed 11 million batteries in the system to replace defective batteries out of warranty at a price of $ 29 at a time when it was previously selling them for $ 69 and changed only 1-2 million batteries, which made the company lose nearly half a billion dollars in revenue. The company said that this procedure is one of the reasons for the decline in the company's revenues during the last period, which is a strange justification, as this procedure may reduce profits, not revenues because 11 * 29 means revenues of $ 319 million compared to previously 2 * 69 means $ 138 million, i.e. the batteries system caused an increase in Apple's income. Of batteries worth nearly $ 200 million (income, not profits).

The first news indicates that Apple is the technology company that is least keen on its privacy and its secrets
Apple rejects the monopoly and refuses to pay XNUMX dollars for every iPhone that uses Qualcomm
While it is normal for you to raise the price every year, and even ask for $ XNUMX for a bigger screen and a slightly larger battery, without any other benefits, this is not a monopoly. It is the price for the great research that Apple has done in order to discover that a larger screen can be placed on the iPhone and thus a larger battery can be placed😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Oh, you are from Tim Cook, who follows Yvonne Islam
As long as Apple did not announce austerity or optimization policy, I expect that it still enjoys the same strength and confidence, and all data confirm that Apple continues, and this gives a strong incentive to develop and open a portfolio of patent documents.

Apple gets lost and the idea of a charging case. Distinctive and will compensate for the iPhone sales losses, especially that with the iPhone 6 / 6s Charging Case, all quantities were sold.
Apple released the iPhone Xs / Xr case.
In this way, Apple indirectly admits that the strength of its iPhone batteries has been weak since time immemorial.
With this trick, I launched this cover to drain the pockets of some Bravo Apple users
A complex Android malevolent mentality of the iPhone
😂😂😂😂😂
Clear you have iPhone x 😂😂😂
Perhaps the mountains will change their place, and your mentality will not change, you complex and fanatic ..
Gasp you might pay attention to Tim to see how you are ..
Commenting from iPhone X is a patient obsessed with fanaticism and madness ..
You don’t have to buy, you have a thousand plastic batteries with a strong battery
My brother Mustafa, the charging case does not at all mean the weakness of the battery, it is just an accessory of the device’s accessories, and every device, no matter how strong its battery, has a charging case for those who need it. There are some users who have a special situation and specific uses that need this type of casings and Apple targets them as an increase in the resources of its profits. As you know that Apple does not miss any opportunity to increase its profits and it never means that the batteries of these devices are weak.
Right, brother Majid, thank you for your comment. Profit in the first place for Apple ..
For the second week in a row
Bin Sami ignores negative news
For Samsung, Huawei and Qualcomm
Where is the news of a 30% drop in Samsung's revenues?
Where is the news of the global fierce campaign on Huawei
With regard to the charge of spying on governments
Don't you know that the US government has filed a case?
The stupid Qualcomm accuses it of monopoly and it is very likely that it will lose

I am an enemy to owning my Android phones
By the way, how is your Oppo phone?
11,000,000 battery and it was changed in the same year, meaning this is a problem with Apple. I am surprised by old devices such as the iPhone 4s iPhone 5. The battery is still going on, especially since I have an iPhone 4s from about 2013 and the battery is still working without any problems. I mean the latest updates are the reasons for the battery being disabled. The evidence for what I am saying is that I bought a new iPhone 6s in the box. Imagine, I turned it on after activation, updated to iOS 12, and it was in iOS 10. Anyway, the conversation between us is that the battery percentage is 84%. How? I don't know how
Well done and may God reward you. The News on the Margin series is still the best, most useful and most concise articles.
Well done, we wait for this chain every Thursday
IPhone 11 design
🤢🤢🤢
I believe
Thank you, nice news
These are not the days of Apple, the most news of which is fines and problems, to apply the famous saying, "A day for you and a day for you," and I say: If it lasted for Nokia, it would not have reached you. I wish those difficulties make the company change some of its arrogant and failed policies because the great reputation does not cover failure every time.
Thank you
