The "lock in" argument holds no water because Apple doesn't prohibit the migration of user data to other platforms. Samsung has a "Smart Switch" app that allows to connect an iPhone to a Samsung phone and that replicates the exact home screen layout…

Well, not the end of the world. Apple has already a working macOS app model in place. (x) Allow only apps from AppStore (_) Allow apps from third party app stores. And that's it. No legislator can interfere with the user's choice of privacy and sy…

Well, I don't think anybody would purchase an iPhone because of iMessage. Meanwhile Apple should maintain and develop it to preserve a competitive and well functioning service. Should Apple port it to Android? Absolutely not. No one cares, or only t…

.ps and .eps formats are no longer significant since service bureaus prefer PDF since almost two decades. Legacy graphic libraries and clip-art may be well converted with other utilities and applications. Not the end of the world. Meanwhile Preview …

A Touch UI based macOS is not a dream, but a possibility. So Apple’a port of macOS to the iPad would be a great and respectable endeavor that every Mac enthousiast would embrace. I can well imagine a Finder lying behind this on-screen keyboard, show…

Apple is being pushed to higher and higher end by Chinese companies. This is a deliberate tactic and Apple may need to develop a substantial maneuver to regain the entry level market and even the mid-range. One day it will find itself at the peak of…

The only reason to run a more recent OS on an old hardware is when some mainstream and indispensable applications dictate a minimum OS version. Otherwise tinkering just for the pleasure to "follow the trends" doesn't make sense,

I don't get what is the benefit of Stage Manager over multiple desktops. With one swipe you can switch between desktops. In Stage Manager you need to point and click. If you can *still* work in full screen mode then Stage Manager is totally useless,…
