I get the concept, but for a lot of people there’s something inherently disconcerting about seeing a bunch of nice things destroyed, and most ads (including Apple’s) try to make people feel good. If Tesla made an ad with Elon Musk smashing a garage …

Presumably they had to make a few iPads in preparation for tomorrow.

Since 2012, Apple has bought back shares worth $674.9 billion, mostly at a price well below where it’s currently trading, so in retrospect it looks like a pretty good use of the funds, especially since shareholders are taxed on the increased share v…

Seems crazy, but given how long the most recent upgrade cycle was, and the fact that we’re only a few weeks from WWDC and 4 months from the traditional iPhone upgrade season, it doesn’t seem completely impossible. If Apple is on the verge of announc…

If you have the patience, a safer plan is to wait until the thief parks it somewhere (unenclosed), then hop in and drive it away.

The current iPad Air is kind of awkward in the lineup, given that the $599 base model only has 64gb of storage (which probably isn’t enough for most people, especially at that price), and the next level up only costs $50 less than an iPad Pro 128gb …

I’d be interested to see why you say the titanium would be more scratch resistant than stainless steel, which is usually harder and in my experience less prone to scratching. I did a little googling just now, and everything I found supported my unde…

Maybe it’s just a shout-out to Apple Insider.

In those days, Apple designers figured out a number of clever tricks to make things look even thinner than they were, but in the spirit of updated design, a number of these tricks have been abandoned, resulting in products that in some cases look th…

Of course, a “special version” of iOS shouldn’t be relevant here, given that none of the devices in question run iOS.

Even if Apple never sells a car, the R&D probably generated some patents that could be good to have down the road, so to speak.
-
They should double down on battery technology R&D, which is key to so many of their most important products, and if they have a major breakthrough, they can always revisit the car idea to take full advantage.

Since they only sell AVP directly to consumers, with no other current retail distribution, at least they don’t have to share any small margins with third parties, so they can afford to sell at a smaller mark-up. It makes sense for other reasons too,…

Most companies focus on improvements that will be easy to include in marketing materials, like a new design or gimmicky feature. It’s great to see Apple giving attention to something that matters even if the average consumer will never fully underst…

Anyone who claims to be able to guarantee that their platforms are 100% “secure” is lying, so it doesn’t seem like a reasonable question to ask, but it does display a certain amount of fundamental ignorance.

It sounds like the leaker isn’t making any claims about a decrease in battery life, only claiming that the larger non-Pro model will have a decrease in battery capacity, of just under 10%, compared to its counterpart in the current line. “Life” is a…
