  • Touch ID, OLED touch bar to highlight thinner MacBook Pro models in Q4

    It all sounds good, but I hope they don't ditch the MagSafe.
    Why doesn't Apple bring the smart connector to the Mac and have that become the new Mag Safe? Power and data.

  • Sight unseen, consumers are more excited about Apple's 'iPhone 7' than they were for iPhone 6s

    3D Touch is crucial to Apple being able to eliminate the home button and shrink bezels. People should stop saying they have no use for it. YOU WILL!

    That question is 99% of the reason I opened up this thread. I can't think of a non-gimmicky reason to have that feature. And since I know Apple doesn't do gimmicks, I'm intrigued. And flummoxed!

    Hmm, maybe somehow part of a gesture-based interface?
    Every time you see OLED, close the news item, because it's full of crap. OLED's are rubbish technology for anything that isn't meant to be thrown away in a year. Everyone loves LCD's over CRT because of the increase of sharpness and LCD's weigh substantially less, so for that reason we can replace a TV.

    But the push to replace LCD's with worse technology seems to be a profit-driven choice, without any concern for the e-waste. Apple is already bad enough with making things impossible to repair, so making laptop's have the lifespan of a cell phone isn't exactly a good direction for Apple to go. 

    Everything should last 7 years without needing to be repaired or replaced
    Have you seen an OLED display next to an LCD? It makes the LCD look like dog crap. OLED is the future. Pixel shifting will eliminate burnin and lifespan concerns and once the yield rates improve, their price will go down. Thinner, lighter, malleable. This tech was made for Apple.

  • Apple announces it will offer App Store subscriptions to all apps, take smaller 15% cut

    Subscriptions for iOS apps? No thanks. Maybe if we see some true pro apps with 3D Touch integration running on a more robust operating system. Apple says the iPad Pro is their vision for the future of computing, but they sure don't seem very invested in it. We don't even have Final Cut Pro for iOS, and that's Apple's own software!
