“In the days following Apple’s record Q1 earnings announcements, Apple CEO Tim Cook and other top Apple executives held a Town Hall meeting at the Infinite Loop headquarters in Cupertino to reveal new announcements and take attendee questions,” Mark Gurman reports for 9to5Mac.
“Cook reportedly began his talk by putting Apple’s revenue announcements in context. He said that Apple sold enough iPhones in the holiday quarter (74.8 million units) to cover the populations of New York, London, Beijing, and Shanghai,” Gurman reports. “Cook also called the Apple Watch one of the ‘hottest’ holiday gifts, and he claimed that sales of the device exceeded those of the original iPhone in its first holiday quarter in 2007.”
“Cook also noted his excitement over future products coming out of the software, services, and hardware divisions, while teasing some ‘far-off’ hardware announcements coming beyond this year,” Gurman reports. “Cook said that Apple is using Apple Music on Android as a way of testing the waters for growing its services division through other platforms, opening up the door for more porting in the future.”

Apple should give the fragmandroid settlers iMessage capability, but make them have to code their own emoji in ASCII. You know, stuff like that. They love to tinker needlessly.
