Apple says iPhone XR sales are actually doing well, old Facebook moneymaking ideas get revealed and Amazon announces blockchain services. Here's your Daily Crunch for November 29, 2018. 1. Following report on sluggish demand, Apple VP says iPhone XR is its most popular model In the wake of a report from the WSJ last week that detailed how low demand for Apple's latest iPhones was prompting the company to cut orders for the devices, particularly the iPhone XR, an Apple VP said that the XR is actually the company's best-selling model right now. The disclosure comes from Apple VP Greg Joswiak in an interview with CNET. It's not a particularly juicy quote, only detailing that the device has "been our most popular iPhone each and every day since the day it became available." 2. Facebook staff discussed selling API access to apps in 2012-2014 Following a flopped IPO in 2012, Facebook desperately brainstormed new ways to earn money. An employee of unknown rank sent an internal email suggesting Facebook charge developers $250,000 per year for access to its platform APIs to make apps that can ask users for access to their data. 3.
