A better day :)

Mr Junker famously likes a tipple Max. Not behaviour alien to the soaked and sozzled masses of the House of Commons Bar though so can hardly be used as Brussles Westminster differentiator.

At least you could pick a German to single out if you are going to make things up about the ze Germans.

Do the IQE supply chain experts on here know if Sony and LG are likely to be among the new wave of OEMs working with our VCSELs?

Agree that the R-400s don't last but the sound quality is far superior.

While a lot is subjective some aspects can be judged more objectively and the CB-01s are bad I'm sad to say.

Unfortunately, after spending a few days with them I have to reverse direction. They're loud which is probably to do with the lightness of the graphene. It doesn't take much current to move those drivers but they sound terrible. Boomy, fuzzy and sibilant.

MediaDevil obviously know nothing about sound. The CB-01s remind of <£10 Skull Candy headaches you've bought in the departure lounge when you've forgotten your earbuds.

Sorry to say it but this one is a graphene = overpriced gimmick.

Save yourself a migraine and buy something like this instead...

Arrived this morning. Sound great.

No worries. It's not easy for small shareholders to keep up on everything but one would hope LSE would!

The LSE fundamentals page is out of date. Divi end of last year was 0.12c. Latest interim was 0.8c. Makes yield about 3.75% based on £4.18 SP depending on ex rates.

"Lignin research has been going on for a few years. I would prefer to read in an RNS that all coffee shops in the UK and the USA are now using BIOM coffee cups and coffee pods. Plus, all supermarkets and shops are using biodegradable bags and selling biodegradable bin liners. Or, supermarket suppliers are now using biodegradable packaging. That would be of more value to us shareholders. The lignin research could take years to be commercially viable."

Well, yeah but while we're waiting for that this will have to do.

Sounds like a long term project but this sentence made me sit up and take notice...

"The funding, provided by UK Research and Innovation and delivered by Innovate UK, was awarded as part of a £20 million Open Competition to deliver game changing or disruptive innovations with significant potential for impact on the UK economy."

Despite everything else tanking.

The chap who wrote article 50 was on the telly earlier. If we were to unilaterally revoke the letter, membership would be reinstated on the original terms. Neither side would have any right to change them. So, yes.

Think the idea of the UK building it's own constellation of navigation satellites is a Brexiteer fantasy. We're not going to have £5B lying around. We'll keep using the US one.

Thanks. Not a challenge from Apple but something more interesting. A positive step from Google toward including the same tech into the Pixel line.

Hi Xataxx, what was the patent win please? Was Apple trying to block use by other OEMs?

The Sheffield centre is specifically for additive manufacturing or 3D printing. Obviously useful to a lot of technology focused companies.

Sales drive might be kicking off...

Face ID is more secure than Touch ID. That's the differentiator.

Downgrades it's outlook as well due to reduced demand from "a customer."

I'm choosing to assume that IQE's out sized drop in EBIDTA is simply because the order was reduced at the last minute. They've made these wafers and they're just sat in a warehouse. Could result in a similar out sized gain when they're re-ordered.

Stepping back. The 3 new iPhones are going to sell a hell of a lot more than the iPhone X over time. If they don't Apple is in serious trouble. If the iPhone user base drops so does the user base of the ecosystem and all their other revenue streams will dry up.

iPad is a bonus. They still sell tens of millions of them a year I believe.

So, someone's misread initial demand and ordered too many components. For the above reasons I hope for aggressive promotional activity; and good discounting and holiday periods to get demand back on track. This will just have been a bump in the road if that happens.

One word of caution, a lot of people I know have indeed been moving from iOS to Android and aren't looking back. Maybe Apple are on a real decline?

Long term looks rosy for all the other diverse reasons already stated by others. Takes a brave person to buy at the moment though.
