  • Original HomePod now sold out at online and in Apple Stores nationwide

    k2kwk2kw
    Apple should have bought Sonos years ago.  The HomePod joins the 2013 MacPro and Butterfly Keyboard/Touch Strip as failed products of the Ive era.

  • Mark Zuckerberg was ready to pounce on Apple's data practices at Senate hearing

    k2kwk2kw
    Do you think Zuckerberg feels like his privacy was violated or was this an intentional leak?

  • Apple AirPower Qi charging mat headed for September landing

    k2kwk2kw
    A year from WWDC17 deliver Stereo for HomePod from when it was announced.
    Now a year to deliver AirPower after they were announced.    I hope they prioritize new Computers over AirPower because other than the MacPro (which won't show up till 2019) they haven't announced any new Computers.   Cook says the Mini is an important part of Apple, why doesn't someone ask if there will be another Mac Mini.

  • Apple cites decision to use Intel modems in iPhone as 'real motivation' for Qualcomm paten...

    Well I have to say this Intel Modem in my iPhone XS is worse than that Qualcomm modem in my iPhone 6.

    Places my 6 worked just fine at, my XS doesn't. Still the same T-Mobile Network. The only thing that changed was going from a 6 to the XS. I've had times where it will work one minute and then completely DEAD. I'll even try doing speed test and there's nothing.

    I'm not a fan on Qualcomm as a company, but their modems seem to be better than Intel's.
    I have a 7+ with Qualcomm modem and a 8+ with intel.   The Qualcomm is definitely better.    When Cook comes out and says the new iphone is "the best iphone ever made" it a load of crap.    I have absolutely no interest in upgrading because of the modem situation.    Heard a lot of talk around here how the QualComm modems make the iphone so expensive, but no that they have Intel modems the prices are even higher.   Unfortunately google can't seem to make a half way decent phone so I feel stuck.

  • M1 MacBook owners complain about easily cracked screens

    Amazingly defensive comments here. Utterly weird. Almost a parody of what people think Apple users act like. 

    It's not like apple hasn't had screen issues before, and I have experienced that myself with a screen that just went dead. Apple fixed it out of warranty because it was their fault. 

    Isn't this a site for consumers? Apple isn't a political party, or a football team you always root for. Its a company that produces electronic devices and sometimes, because manufacturing is sometimes not perfect, things can go wrong. As consumers we should hope that Apple makes amends and fixes any issues as soon as possible. What I see here is sheepish fanboyism. 

    And before people who have been here a lot less time than I have start on he accusations of trolling, I have been here from 2003. I am posting on an M1 device, getting another one next week, and if I swivel around I can see my old intel MacBook Pro from 2018. There's about $5k worth of Apple devices in this room alone, with a HomePod and iPhone and AppleTV as well and more about the house. And I've been here since 2003, when the number of Mac Users in my country could fit into a hotel room,. Since my first Mac I have spent tens of thousands on Apple products. 

    But sometimes things go wrong, and sometimes Apple denies it.  Grow up and accept that. 
    This site is filled with stockholder fanboys that attack when any problem is discussed that impacts their retirement nestegg.

    Look at all the vitriol that they hurled whenever the butterfly keyboard was discussed.  Eventually it took an Academy Award winner complaining in public and an editorial by Joanna Stern in the Wall Street Journal for them to fix it an come out with new Design.

  • Microsoft says Windows on ARM will not support Apple M1 Macs

    verne arase said:
    The real question is if Microsoft will continue to try and break Apple Silicon compatibility, or will allow its use unofficially.

    On one hand, it threatens Microsoft's bread-and-butter Wintel homogeny - on the other hand, there will soon be a fairly vast pool of Apple Silicon devices which will be entirely outside the Windows market if they do.

    And let's face it: this may be the fastest ARM Windows will run for some time, despite Microsoft's claim that they're making their own chips (née Qualcomm).
    Intel is looking like a cement shoe dragging MS down to a watery grave.   Microsoft would be smart to try to run on m1 Macs.

  • Foxconn's iPhone output could drop by 30% over COVID outbreak

    k2kwk2kw
    With employees now escaping the plant his out break could spread to a whole province.   I don’t blame them on bit.   Another sign Apple is to dependent on China.,  should atleast bring some IPhone manufacturing to Americas.
