  • Apple's 2023 CarPlay is an Apple Car preview - and is scaring Detroit

    Has anyone yet considered the possibility that this new CarPlay IS the "apple car" project?

  • Samsung Galaxy Ultra Watch copies everything except Apple's durability and customer servic...

    Apple doesn’t cover accidental damage either under their basic warranty no matter how new the product is. For accidental damage to be covered you have to purchase Apple Care+.

  • Satechi X3 Slim Keyboard review: A fantastic alternative to Apple's Magic Keyboard

    The function key on this keyboard is in the exact same location that it is on the Apple Magic Keyboard with Numeric Keypad, so I'm not sure why that's a complaint since the layout is identical to Apple's product. This keyboard is not intended as a replacement for the smaller Apple Magic Keyboard. If you want a Satechi product that's intended to replace the smaller Apple Magic Keyboard then get their Slim X1 Backlit Bluetooth Keyboard. Since the X1 has the same layout as the smaller Apple Magic Keyboard the function key is in the same lower-left location.
     
    Interesting the function key is your primary con and not the fact that this keyboard does not have Touch ID (nor would I expect it to...but that's at least worth a mention in the article).

  • Apple jacking up prices on post-AppleCare iPhone battery replacements

    Blizzard said:
    Here is what I think, I think Apple is making it that expensive to change the calculas between keeping the phone and buying a new iPhone.
    So now someone is going to spend $1000 on a new phone over a $20 battery price increase? That doesn’t make mathematical sense.

  • Hands on: Twelve South Backpack shelf for Studio Display

    It’s probably worth noting that this only fits the Studio Display with the tilt-adjustable stand. It will not work with the tilt & height-adjustable stand.

  • Apple posts new M4 iMac announcement video, confirms more products coming

    Toortog said:
    What a way to start the big Apple week of announcements with a chip update to a boring iMac.   Hey release a 30+" iMac and then you'll have something to talk about.  So Apple you going to make everyone wait all week for the new form factor Mac Mini, it the only thing expected to come that isn't just a chip update.  


    Apple has already said that they have no plans to release a larger iMac and that if you want a larger display then you can buy a Mac Studio with a Studio Display. Or you can just keep whining about a product that's never going to happen.

    And it's ridiculous that people are crying (still) about spec bumps...as if this is anything new. What do you expect? Some massive annual redesign? Most years they're just going to release spec bumps up to the latest chips. It's always been that way and it always will. Most people don't replace their MacBooks and desktop Macs annually but when someone does replace their Mac they want the latest chips so it has the longest useful life.

  • The next solar eclipse is on April 8 -- here's how to photograph it

    Pro Tip: Just enjoy the live eclipse experience. You get 3.5 minutes of totality and that’s it. Don’t waste it messing around with an iPhone camera. Any photo you take with non-dedicated equipment isn’t going to look very good. There will be hundreds of high quality professional photos on the internet to look at later. As the article says, if you really want to record something with your phone, record a time lapse video. I did that back in 2017 and the results were pretty neat. Set up a time lapse video on your iPhone, set your phone on a tripod to capture the entire landscape (not the sun) about 30-45 minutes before totality is scheduled to begin, and then forget about your phone until totality is over. Don’t waste the extremely limited time during totality messing with a camera taking what will be lousy photos that won't impress anyone. This is one experience that if you are fortunate enough to be in the path of totality with a clear sky you'll want take it all in undistracted by technology. It will truly take your breath away.

    Teardown shows AirPods 4 still unfixable by the public

    And they never will be, so these complaints are and have always been ridiculous.
