Last year, Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) offered a $29 battery replacement program -- $50 cheaper than normal -- and was a bit shocked when 11 million customers took advantage. Apple replaced 11 million batteries in 2018 during its $29 replacement program. During a normal year, Apple expects to replace between 1 [million] to 2 million batteries. [laughs] I have to wonder, do people who work at Apple use Apple phones? I think Apple Pay took a major step back, they added more friction to that process, in a process where they need to take away as much friction as possible.

Apple Patent Hints at iPhone with Curved Glass Sides
As it stated in The patent, called "Electronic devices with structural glass members," highlights the use of a flexible display that could be mounted to a glass support member, ultimately creating a device that looks like it's built from one big curved piece of glass. Unlike Samsung's approach, however, Apple seems to be thinking about curving the glass all the way around the front, so that the entire side of the device is built from glass. Apple has already implemented a flexible display of sorts in the iPhone — to get the edge-to-edge look in the iPhone X and iPhone XS, Apple actually bends the display around the bottom edge a little. It's also important to note that just because Apple has filed for this patent, it doesn't mean that it'll actually adopt the tech in a future iPhone. If it does, we don't imagine it will be on its 2019 iPhone but perhaps sometime in the next few years instead.
Apple is reportedly planning to change a key component of every iPhone lineup by 2020, and now one of its major suppliers is scrambling
Getty/Chip SomodevillaApple buys LCD screens for the iPhone XR, the iPhone 8, and other models from Japan Display. But Apple is likely to cut LCD screens from its new iPhone lineup as soon as 2020, according to a Wall Street Journal report. This has forced Japan Display to seek a sale to Chinese and Taiwanese buyers, the report said. In 2018's lineup, for example, the iPhone XR uses an LCD screen, while Apple's higher-end iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max use OLED screens. Apple is likely to drop LCD displays from its new iPhone lineup entirely, The Journal reported, citing unnamed sources familiar with Apple's production plans.
