Banks better be careful, they don't want Apple to decide that they are too difficult to deal with and so start their own Apple Bank.

Can’t wait to read the inevitable tell-all book about this debacle.

cincytee said: The immediate effect might be the loss of $20 billion in payments to Apple, but Apple would clearly then institute its own search engine, which would generate billions in revenue, much like Google, so the overall impact would b…

I was on a trip to Europe recently and noticed my iPhone 12 was getting hot and draining battery quickly. A check of the battery settings quickly showed the culprit: Instagram, despite the fact it was in the background and not being actively used. A…

Having your news on Facebook can only help most online publishers who depend on traffic to drive their advertising revenues. Those that don't primarily depend on ads will have paywalls that will prevent users from getting free content. Thus the noti…

If it’s January it must be time for Apple low-demand rumors. As someone else mentioned guess what it’s after Xmas, of course demand is going to drop.

blastdoor said: Nice illustration of how apple silicon blows intel out of the water in performance per watt. Intel can only compete in performance by scorching laps. Agree. It’s so nice to be able to use Apple Silicon laptops actually on m…

wood1208 said: Size matters! I mean Macbook Air screen size to at least 141." if not larger. I just got my 14" MBP (32GB RAM, 2TB SSD, 24-core GPU) and the screen size and resolution are much better than my old 13" MBP. Screen area on my o…

I love the iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, but the “tap controls” on the Pencil have always been frustrating to me. I know I must be “tapping it wrong” (I know, that’s what she said) but sometimes I can’t seem to get it to work at all, other times it wor…

p-dog said: I am calling bovine feces on this person’s story. I do know a lot of people whom I tried in vain to convince not to use a simple four digit passcode such as 1111 or 1234. They tend to be GEN Xers or older and “couldn’t be bothered…

Several managers where I work say they are having trouble filling positions because as soon as the candidates hear it isn’t a completely remote work job they bail on the interview. Those who think that they can fight this are in for a rude awakening…

I ordered my custom MBP 14” on Feb 20 with a due date of mid-April. The week before I was supposed to get it, they said it would be delayed until mid-May. Then this week I got a notification that I shouldn’t expect it before the end of June/early Ju…

I resisted buying a 12.9” iPad Pro because I was worried that it would be too big and lose the portability and convenience factor that I like. However last year I finally decided to switch to the larger size and I’m glad that I did. The biggest adva…

Looking forward to a “popcorn” Monsterverse live-action show! Regarding Invasion, there is a difference between slow-pacing and a complete lack of motion. For example, Foundation is slow-paced by modern standards, yet there is something important ha…

I think that some the negative comments regarding the article's subject matter are a bit harsh. There are undoubtedly some people who own neither of these devices and might wonder if the iPad Mini would serve both as a general purpose device as well…

I manage an app for the company I work for. When I took over the app it had been around about 4 years and only had about 30 ratings, with the average in the low threes. I oversaw a major overhaul of the app that launched in 2018 and I hoped that the…

My wife’s iPad Mini 4 was long overdue for replacement, so we got this model as soon as it was available. She is very happy with it.

I remember when Apple used titanium in the PowerBook G4, or as people called it, the “TiBook”. I remember I was excited to buy it, but it flexed badly and scratched easily. If you held the laptop by one end, it would actually bend because the metal …

My wife has been wanting to replace her old iPad mini 4 for several months now, but I have to tell her to wait until this update happens.

There is nothing wrong with employees expressing their opinions to management. I know our team nearly universally desires to continue to WFH. As their manager I know that they are more productive and happier, why is this a bad thing? I think busines…
