  • Apple leaks new "iPhone SE" coming soon in iPhone 8 form factor [u]

    Nowhere does it imply that the iPhone 7 and 8 screen is the same size as the SE. There is a drop down menu, and you can select a screen protector for the SE, or one that fits the 7 and 8. It doesn’t even imply that SE is the official name of a new model, just that they added a screen protector for an existing model.

  • The best alternatives to Adobe InDesign for iOS and Mac

    Maybe QuarkXPress isn't mentioned here because it is hardly a cheaper alternative to Indesign. Quark is $400 on the App Store; the QuarkXPress Store lists it as $250/year ($750 total) for Indesign switchers. Quark was always full of itself and used to charge $900 for a single-language edition, so I guess it's gone down in price since its glory days. But you would be much better off switching to Affinity Publisher than a program built on a 1990's framework.

  • Apple Car may have integrated air scenting tech in a compact unit

    AppleCar's "air freshener" will probably be co-branded with Chanel and cost $9.95 a month to use.

  • Apple Maps trials updated maps for UK and Ireland

    If you only care about roads and highways, Google Maps wins hands down. But if you want to know where trains are, or even something as simple as borders (ANY border), Apple Maps is far superior. I liken it to an engineer (Google) vs designer (Apple) approach to cartography. The failure of Apple is its insistence on using Apple-only apps for its maps, and worse, a proprietary and confusing language of navigation controls. In order to gain any traction, Apple Maps needs to be browser-based like Google Maps. DuckDuckGo uses Apple Maps, but without the 3D feature. The Apple Maps app for iOS offers a 3D view, but the Google Maps app does not; you have to use the separate Google Earth app for that feature.

  • Microsoft is closing all of its retail stores, permanently

    I love the promotional photo of the packed Microsoft Store used to illustrate this article. Are those actual customers, or Microsoft employees on their lunch break?
