Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Samsung’s New Foldable Strategy Is Interesting…”.
So what if Samsung decided to go a bit too aggressive with the next batch of foldables in a different way? Scs reports mention the design elements and sales targets for the Galaxy, foldables and they’re kind of crazy apple is reportedly scaling back on its Pro features. For its iPads for interesting reasons – and you guessed it it’s about that time for Netflix – to give you more excuses as to why I just got more expensive, I’m him Riva and I wish I could tell you that uh this is a happy Friday, but it definitely Feels like Monday, this is pocket now daily. The official news today are not pleasant as they begin with Netflix, because guess what there is a new price hike coming soon. The company announced price increases for its basic and premium subscription plans in the United States, the UK and France in the United States. The basic plan will see a monthly increase from $ 9.99 to $ 11.99, while the Premium plan rises from $ 1 199.99 to $ 22.99 per month. However, the ad supported tier will remain at $ 6.99 per month, as will the standard plan at $ 15.49 per month.
Although Netflix uh no longer offers the basic plan to new subscribers in the United States, existing subscribers are likely to experience price hikes at some point. At this point, the Premium plan is the only option offering 4K video streaming and spatial audio with the standard and AD supported plans limited to 1080p, which is the reason I go premium. These price adjustments were announced during Netflix uh third quarter 2023 earnings call where it revealed an impressive addition of 8.8 million new subscribers up significantly from 2.4 million in the same period on the previous year.
The company’s Revenue also saw a boost reaching 8.54 billion compared to 7.9 the previous year, notably, these subscriber gains come after Netflix, initiated its efforts to curve password sharing between households with the company reporting a lower than expected negative response to this limitation. Where were you guys like seriously now, let’s move on to Apple, because we have new details about the upcoming iPads? Let me start with a controversial and kind of sketchy report about the iPad Pro. It has been previously reported that the new models will have better OLED panels for the display. However, it is now being said that Cupertino might revert to LCD displays across the board.
The report alleges that the main reason for the change is the high production cost of using mini LED panels on the 12.9 in iPad Pro, which has been a hurdle for broader industry adoption, and it even makes us wonder if that will affect the MacBook Pro in Any way, but then again if the iPads were moving to oleds, that’s the reason why I find this report to be sketchy I’ll admit. I can’t wait for the change to OLED cuz honestly, I mean the Mac handles mini, LED well, while there’s a lot of blooming on the iPad. Speaking of the larger pro model model, just like we got a larger MacBook Air this year. We’Ve also heard that copertino is working on the development of a larger iPad Air Model at 12.9 in diagonal, which makes sense cuz a lot of people. Just don’t want to pay for pro if they just want a larger panel. The rumors also suggest that these bigger models could arrive sooner rather than later, with the M2 Chip and uh.
We don’t have an expected date, but if this model becomes a reality, we could see a launch early next year since the M1 iPad Air Model is like what a year and a half ago old, it’s been a bit moving on. Let’S stick to Apple because it seems the company has been noticing that generative AI is something that uh Siri doesn’t do. Uh reports have it that the company is planning to introduce generative AI technology to the iPhone and iPad which uh yeah could include the MAC. At some point, though, that’s a speculating with a tentative roll out, starting no earlier than late 2024, as revealed by Jeff Pooh. His supply chain checks indicate that Apple’s intention to build a few hundred AI servers in 2023 might be happening with significant more the following year. The plan involves a combination of cloud-based, Ai and edged AI, which uh prioritizes on device data processing.
Copertino is taking a cautious approach, apparently aligning generative AI, with its strong commitment to customer privacy says the report. If the late 2024 time frame is met, generative AI features May debut on iOS 18 and iPad OS 18. The specific applications of this technology remain undisclosed, but it could involve a deeper integration with the shortcuts application. While Apple has acknowledged this interest in generative Ai and mentioned it in jobless things, the company has yet to device a clear strategy for releasing tools to the public. According to Mark German, so yeah, it seems like uh. They want to do things right and not rush their AI plans in typical Apple fashion.
Even Tim Cook emphasized the need for thoughtfulness and deep consideration of this Technology’s implications, but uh at the same time. Now that we see Microsoft’s, co-pilot and and the Google assistant on the pixel 8 Pro, I can understand, while they’re rushing and finally for the most interesting news today, let’s talk about Samsung and their objectives for the upcoming foldables in next year, I mean, according to a New report by the Alex Samsung is H, setting an ambitious Target aiming to sell 20 million foldable smartphones in 2024, a significant increase from their 15 million in 2023. This objective is quite ambitious, given the intensified competition in the foldable smartphone market and the fact that these haven’t really sold as expected in the United States. Samsung now faces Rivals like the Razer plus Razer 2023, which challenged the Galaxy zflip 5 in terms of Flagship features and pricing, and additionally, Samsung must contend with the Google pixel fold.
Oneplus open in the book style, foldable category, both offering Superior cameras and larger outer displays compared to Samsung’s offering and don’t even get me started about foldables in China, with xiaomi Vivo, Huawei, techno and Oppo, just to name a few honor in particular is making making some Crazy thin magic V devices, so it seems that might be Samsung’s Next plan. It is reported that the company is working on a thinner display and the body for the zold 6, although the exact measurements remain undisclosed. The current Galaxy zold 5 at 13.4 mm when closed, is thicker than competitors like the OnePlus, open and pixel fold. Despite the Samsung’s recent minor update has not SE significant foldable sales with the company projected to ship approximately 10 million foldables in 2023, falling short of its sales goal. How does Samsung plan to double sales is beyond me, but in today’s question let us know I mean what do you think that Samsung needs to do to succeed in foldables cuz? In my case, I think I I don’t know I like the tech. I feel it’s great, but I just feel that the price just does not make sense for most people and that’s the problem. If you want to reach the mainstream, you got to bring a mainstream product and the promise was that foldables as they got older and the technology matured would drop in price and uh. That only happened one year, Samsung so uh, and then you went more expensive afterwards. So I think that’s the problem, but that’s just me leave us a comment down below we love to know your opinion.
