In this episode, we discuss the impact of Apple’s announcement of the new iPhones, Apple Pay, Apple Watch and Google’s new “Android One” on Asia. We also discuss whether Apple is positioning itself to be a Louis Vuitton of technology or a Louis Vuitton “with technology” and if Asian technology OEMs can buy CyanogenMod to combat Apple and Google.
