Useful article. Thank you.

Glad the new downloads are "fat": I was fearing a situation like those awful "remastered for stereo" versions of old mono recordings we've been putting up with for decades.

Not a "Pro" feature at all, but related to the "Apple Watch integration" theme: LET ME SEE MY HEALTH AND WORKOUT DATA ON MY iPAD!

Why should I believe UBS?: its judgement seems to be kind of lacking, resulting in a string of judgements against it. Just search "UBS fine" for evidence.

Let's have that article on the Siri Remote, please. Mine just sits in a cupboard, while I use an iPad or an IR blaster to tell Apple TV what to do. I really object to having had to pay for that thing bundled with the device. I don't even live in a m…

It's a good thing you didn't name Bloomberg in your headline: if you had, I wouldn't have seen it because of the filter I put in place a while back to shield myself from their unsubstantiated hyperbole.

Looking at the specs, its brightness is just 200 nits. Despite the impressive contrast delivered by its VA panel, it can't do much with HDR if that's all the brightness it can manage. I'd be interested in a much higher spec monitor with all these be…

Always great to read your thoughts, Daniel. But the tldr; is simply to apply Betteridge's Law of Headlines: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betteridge%27s_law_of_headlines

You're almost selling the A7 short by not explicitly mentioning that, when it duly shipped — on time — its performance trounced the competitors that the naysayers had been boosting, particularly in single-core and browsing performance, where it open…

My guess is that Apple is shying away from the copyright issues: they got burned once for copying the Swiss Railway Clock (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swiss_railway_clock), and don't want to be led there again by third parties.

Nailed it. I think the only things you left out were dropping, bending and blending.

The OpenID Foundation has pointed out that Apple's technology bears a lot of similarities with OpenID Connect, but has serious gaps affecting security and development. Given its membership (https://openid.net/foundation/sponsoring-members/) I regret…

Right with you on Gruber, Daniel. The posting you reference seemed to me so small-minded (and potty-mouthed) that I've unsubscribed from DF, which I've followed for not a few years.

But wait! there's more: • Access to over 100,000 new music stations from iHeartRadio, radio.com and TuneIn. • Sleep timer. The lack of those meant there was no way I would buy a HomePod. Mind, I probably won't even now, unless I get even more ann…

Related to the smarthome use case, iPod Touch makes a great remote control for Sonos speakers. And Apple TV, come to that. (Sonos users should take a look at the SonoPhone app as an alternative to Sonos's annoyingly-frequently-updated-for-no-apparen…

One more thing … if you study Apple, you'll come to realize that it is very wary of getting into a position where an accusation that it is a monopolist (as defined by the current interpretation of US anti-trust law) would stick. Sure, it gets accus…

Thanks for that, Daniel. I don't disagree, but another way to look at it is this: Intel let Apple down. Again. Expect to see ARM-based Macs sooner rather than later.

Nice video. Shows what you can do with all that equipment. Thanks! However, CalDigit's TS3+, which has been around since September or so, also has a couple of extra USB-C ports, one on the front, and one on the back. The specs are pretty similar to…

You seem to need a laptop.

Not just iPhones: also seen from a Mac this morning.
