Yesterday I did an interview with Joshua Lipton at @YahooFinance right after @Apple's big announcements. Catch the clip here: finance.yahoo.com/video/thin-iph…

@jhirshon Apologies for missing this, Jonathan. I'll get it right next time. -Ramon

@idcrllamas wanted to invite you to a press conference, can I trouble you to message me and I can provide details? :)

With retail stores already touting Halloween gear (>2.5 months away!), I find that @HomeDepot sharing its decor rather acceptable. Plus, I didn't know that cat's ears are part of their skeleton. Need to brush up on my vertabrate anatomy. cnn.com/cnn-underscore…

Samsung: preorders for our foldable smartphones have reached new records! Apple: we sold our billionth iPhone! It's not exactly one-upsmanship but it keeps both companies in front of the market. FWIW: Samsung reached the 1B milestone back in 2014. Apple? Still no foldable

“Apple has a lot of demand out there for its products, and foldables are one of those, let's say, unicorn-type devices that $AAPL has yet to introduce,” IDC research director Ramon Llamas says.

Yesterday afternoon I did an interview with the folks at @YahooFinance to talk about one of the phone industry's unicorns, the Apple foldable iPhone: finance.yahoo.com/video/apple-co…

Part of me is impressed by the people who are using #AmazonPrimeDay and getting very good deals. Equally, I'm impressed by people exercising restraint for not buying anything.

@Samsung's new smartwatches lean harder into helping users develop healthier habits. Monitoring sleep, wellness, and yes, even diet along with offering run coaching create actionable data and answers the question, "What do I do with all this wearable data?"

Happy @AmazonPrimeDay to all who celebrate. Experimenting with doing all of my kid's college shopping with Prime.

The AR/VR market grew 18.1% YoY in Q1 2025, with Meta capturing 50.8% of shipments. But the next phase is just beginning. AI and Android XR are driving a shift toward mixed and extended reality, with enterprise impact on the horizon. 📊 IDC insights: ow.ly/z55m50Wfch0

Happy #nationalcheeseday. Have a gouda day. .... Okay, I'll show myself out. Just remember that Friday is #nationaldonutday

I've been watching @taqtile's work on its Manifest platform. Latest version provides what customers have been asking for: publishing controls. With so many people involved with content development, it's critical to track who is doing what, and to approve at each step of the way

IDC recently started tracking smart vacuums. @iRobot lead the market in 2023 but Chinese brands such as @roborockglobal started to catch up. idc.com/getdoc.jsp?con…

@DocFlynnNFL Nice spin move!
