CuJoYYC said: I'm sure the delay is Apple's fault. That's likely, actually. Before Apple launched lossless with no change in price, it was an option that came at a premium. When Apple just included it in their normal subscription, launc…

chasm said: 128GB *is* “a lot of storage” for a typical user — IF they are also paying for extra iCloud storage, even at the 50GB level. Photos and videos are THE things that eat up storage space on an iPhone if you store them on-device. By d…

I've got 170 GB free on my 256 GB phone (minimum capacity). There's far less issues with 128 GB storage on iPhones than shipping Macs with 8 GB of RAM.

That would be disappointing. USB C is a given - it should have been used on the first release, but now they've finally migrated the iPhone off the obsolete Lightning port as well. Not updating it with the latest chips would be disappointing, especia…

I really hope Apple goes beyond gymkit and adds one low-hanging fruit: HR broadcast from Apple watch.

This is weird. Beeper is not a competitor to iMessage. Telegram, WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Snapchat, Signal, etc are competitors -Beeper is just a security issue attacking one of the messaging apps.

Apart from the strangeness of Apple not launching this alongside the M3 Imac (or earlier), it's also strange that Apple hasn't redesigned the mouse a very long time ago, Not only is it very impractical to have the charge port below the mouse, it al…

A great game, and also a symbol of one thing I don't like about Apple: Bad backwards compatibility. My Steam library is full of games that can no longer be played on my Mac(shipped as 32-bit), and almost all of my remaining library will be lost when…

She is correct. She's not claiming that there isn't a cost to it, just that the cost is not passed on to the consumers. Apple's pricing is mostly based on what they think customers are willing to pay - given the value Apple see themselves deliverin…

I'm hoping that a refresh comes out soon. My sister needs to replace her family's old imac, but I told them to wait for a refresh. That was a year ago. Hoping they refresh it with the M3, which is probably coming to Macbooks and Mac mini in the n…

They're already increasing a lot outside the US due to the strong dollar, this might make it even worse.

Overall, the Mac Pro just doesn't make a lot of sense these days. A hefty workstation like this would normally support multiple CPUs, ridiculous amounts of memory, and multiple powerful GPUs. The new Mac Pro doesn't support any of this, so the only …

This article is fundamentally flawed. RCS is not "a new internet messaging standard". It started as a telcom industry initiative in 2007, and was developed at the GSM Association from 2008 onwards. The goal was to replace SMS, which was a hack that…

This is just marketing hyperbole. Apple made the 13 inch Macbook Air for many years, and the new 15 inch MBA has the same chip/performance as the 13 inch. There's more room for battery, and more surface area for cooling than on the 13 inch. Sure, t…

That's wonderful news. Season 1 has been the AppleTV+ content I enjoyed the most, and the only I followed as it was released.
