  • Apple Vision Pro $3,499 mixed-reality headset launches at WWDC after years of rumors

    With all-new Apple products, sometimes you have to have a hands-on experience. That old saying comes to mind; you can't judge a book by its cover. Many people did not understand the iPhone when it was first released. The iMac was laughed at! That said, the Mac Trash can was very powerful but lacked interest from many people. Time will tell so I won't give it a score. I have to use it to understand it. Apple will make changes to its design as time go on. So it's up to you, Father Time to call the shots.

  • This week on AI: Apple's budget iPad gets the Pencil, Apple Watch rumors, iOS 11.3 & more

    MacNewtonMacNewton
    Apple takes it time to make sure that it’s devices are going to last for years.  I can’t say the same thing about other manufacturers. Each IPad, iPhone or desktop system that I have purchased have done will.  

    Adding new technology to a product has its risks so testing requires time. Other manufacturers may have a different approach and in some cases the consumer takes a hit. Not to say Apple is perfect but there track record is much better the most. 

    If if your looking for cutting edge equipment with the very latest technology then you must understand the risks. Why not just buy a Different product from a different manufacturer then Apple and experience the frustration that comes from NOT playing it safe and let people like myself enjoy quality products from Apple without have to read your comments. 

    Late point this forum is about Apple products with tips and news that’s all related to Apple. It’s not a forum for People that hate Apple.

  • Avid iPhone user Donald Trump calls for Apple boycott over encryption fight

    MacNewtonMacNewton
    AppleInsider said:
    Donald Trump, who is seeking the U.S. Republican presidential nomination, on Friday said consumers should boycott Apple until the company complies with government requests to help unlock an iPhone 5c tied to last year's San Bernardino massacre.




    Trump's off-the-cuff statement came during a campaign rally in South Carolina on Friday, where the outspoken businessman magnate urged constituents to stop using Apple products until the company gave in to law enforcement demands.

    "First of all Apple should give the security for that phone, okay?" Trump said. "What I think you oughta do is boycott Apple until such time as they give that security number. How do you like...I just thought of that."

    The crowd responded with a rousing cheer as Trump dropped more fact bombs, clarifying that the iPhone in question is in fact owned by the San Bernardino County Department of Public Health, not the "young thug" that "killed all these people." He was referring to Syed Rizwan Farook who, with the help of his wife Tashfeen Malik, killed 14 coworkers in a surprise attack last December.

    FBI agents recovered Farook's iPhone 5c from a related crime scene but has so far been unsuccessful in circumventing the device's passcode lock. Earlier this week a federal judge ordered Apple to comply with FBI requests to assist in bypassing the phone's security barrier, which would require the company to create a software workaround that effectively breaks its own encryption protocol.

    Seemingly caught up in his own rhetoric, Trump forgot he himself frequently uses an iPhone to post both personal and professional tweets. But he was on a roll.

    "Not even his phone, we don't even have to go that far," Trump said. "But Tim Cook is looking to do a big number, probably to show how liberal he is. But Apple should give up -- they should get the security -- you'll find other people."




    Trump most recently tweeted from his iPhone less than an hour prior to this article's publication. Following today's remarks, Trump in a tweet sent from Twitter's Web client admitted to using Apple's products, but claimed to also use Samsung devices, which he would switch to exclusively until Apple complies with FBI demands.

    Trump later committed his boycott Apple message to the digital record in yet another tweet. But this time he used an Android device.

    Say what?  "...discuss how to halt Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump" ?
    How unbecoming of Tim Cook?

    They will fail anyway!
    The GOP should have vetted Trump before letting run in their party.
    I guess they let him run because he has money and they just figured that he would not get far.
    Now that he is winning, his own party wants to gang up on him to take him out?
    Take out the Donald and replace him with whom?  Cruz or Rubio?  What a Joke!

    Tim should have no part of this.
    WTF? Has the US become a 3rd world country? 


    " Has the US become a 3rd world country? "

    I would say that your almost right on that statement.
    If Trump gets to PREZ then you need to move to Canada. Just saying ...
