Password managers, like the Apple Password app, log different passwords, passcodes and logins securely under a safe account. You can't underestimate the amount of effort they will put into making sure that is locked down, and those are all tied into Apple IDs, Apple passwords.

Earnings per share rose 1% to $1.53, a March quarter record, and exceeded the LSEG consensus estimate of $1.50. This resulted in stronger-than-expected free cash flow, which is more important than operating cash flow because it is cash Apple can ultimately return to shareholders via buybacks and dividends. During the reported quarter, Apple paid over $27 billion to shareholders, including $3.7 billion in dividends and equivalents and another $23.5 billion via the repurchase of 130 million shares.

☆ What to expect from Apple’s ‘scary fast’ event
▼ + stars: | 2023-10-29 | by ( Samantha Kelly | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +3 min

CNN —Apple is set to host its second product event of the season, a month after introducing its new iPhone 15 lineup. Some analysts said the decision to hold an evening event may underline the fact that this likely won’t be one of Apple’s bigger announcements of the year. The event’s tagline — “scary fast” — is an apparent nod to the likely unveiling of its next-generation silicon chip, M3, as well as Halloween. Over the past several years, the progression of Apple Silicon — the company’s custom-made silicon chip — has emerged as a significant storyline for Apple, culminating in the transition away from Intel chips. This year, the company is expected to bring its M3 chip to a 24-inch iMac and perhaps some MacBook Pro models in various sizes.

☆ Apple's absurd price tag for the Vision Pro is part of a brilliant and proven strategy
▼ + stars: | 2023-06-07 | by ( Nicholas Carlson | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +4 min

Apple Vision Pro costs almost $4,000 after tax. At 7x more than the Quest 3, the Vision Pro should be far more powerful and capable – and of course, it is. Price skimming is a strategy where a company sets the initial price of a product very high, then gradually lowers it over time. It keeps profits high throughout a product's lifecycle: By pricing products high at launch, Apple maximizes its profits from these early sales. Given these red marks WSJ gadget reviewer Joanna Stern walked away with after using Apple Vision Pro for just 20 minutes, I remain skeptical…
