The greatest trick Apple pulled last year with the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus was convincing many buyers to select higher storage versions. This move helped the company increase the average selling price of iPhones, as more buyers choose 64GB and 128GB versions instead of the basic 16GB device. However, many people chose the entry-level iPhone as well and they might be the first ones to run into potential storage-related issues.

As 9to5Mac astutely notes, Apple seeded iOS 8.3 beta 1 to developers on Monday alongside its Xcode 6.3 beta with Swift 1.2.

Just how amazing were Apple’s Q1 2015 earnings results? So amazing that the company is seemingly shredding years’ worth of conventional wisdom about how much an established firm can keep growing. Jean-Louis Gassée at Monday Note has written a tongue-in-cheek look at all the “laws” of economics Apple has broken with its record-crushing earnings report and he explains why some of these laws were highly questionable to begin with.
