Apple's records weren't just Apple's Records.

The Bendy iPhones dent Samsung, and reaction from analysts to Apple's earnings.

It's Thursday, January 29, 2015. I'm Can Ray and this is news from

MacO S. Ken brought to you by yours truly and supported by I-Chart magazine, putting Apple and Tech News
