  • Rumored Mac Studio trade-in points to possible refresh during WWDC

    Hate like this is the strangest thing. I’ve was t stagnant. He was iconic. What he did was create products so epic, that messing with the design just for the sake of change would be a step backward. You say he was stagnant, yet current apple has either not changed his designs at all, or copied his older stuff. 

    The new iMac is a rip off Ive’s Pro Display design, made thinner and smaller. In fact, take the iMac from the front and outside of a different snd polarizing bezel color, it’s nearly indistinguishable from the previous models. In fact, the color of the bezel is… a throwback to Ive’s first iMac. 

    .... 

    YOU BLAME Ive for taking things too far as if the entire Apple board wasn’t pushing those things.

    As I stated earlier, though Apple is undoubtedly lessened by Ive’s absence, they are not anything less than great as is. Apple today is far and away the easer in tech and software design and engineering. And Apple has much to thank Ive for in building that sustainable foundation. 




    I've trimmed down the quoting for others.

    I didn't say hate - not sure where that came from.

    While Ive did some great things he was undeniably stagnant in the last years and by his own comments clearly not interested in the role anymore.

    Yes lots of the products are evolutions of his designs, that is to be expected. But they are evolving to be far more useful than they were before. MacBook Pro 14 and 16 lines as an example.

    I do think he took things too far, restricting the usefulness of the devices too far for aesthetics. If you read accounts from inside Apple that is not an unvoiced opinion.

    Clearly you are a big fan of his as am I. We differ however as I think Apple are now better off without him

  • Watch: Apple's iMac Pro vs 2013 Mac Pro (Part 1) - benchmarks and specs

    sedicivalvolesedicivalvole
    Completely uninterested. It’s grey. Brilliant. It’s still an iMac. Great for those that are happy. 

    Not for me. Get it out of the way and deliver a new Mac Pro please. Then I’ll be excited. If done correctly it should breeze past the iMac “Pro”

    New Mac Pro!!! New Mac Pro!!!

  • Apple hit with class action suit over MacBook, MacBook Pro butterfly switch keyboard failu...

    One can not beat up or file law suit against Apple because few of them have keyboard issues. Some use certain keys lot more than others or hit harder or eat over keyboard with crumbs inside keyboard gaps,etc. Keyboard is mechanical component so every keyboard(keys) will have some kind of problem at some point in time so we need to compare current MBP's keyboard issues with the previous gen MBP and rest of industry's(windows) laptops keyboard. If at par or above than case closed. Someone can argue that MBP price compare to similarly equipped(under hood) laptops is higher so reliability expectation is higher but discussion of that topic is for some other time.

    Sorry you are completely wrong. 

    Having had a new machine fail three times in less than a month. These are faulty. 

    We've had had a higher than 40% failure rate across these machines internally. 

    Now someone will come along and say that they’re all being used wrong no doubt !

  • Apple stops selling 512GB, 1TB 21.5-inch 4K iMac options online

    I never thought i would say this but I am almost over Apple. The crap storage capacities they sell are a joke. 256GB for any $1000 plus machine is ridiculous. Also upgrade charges for larger SSDs are horrible. Apple is becoming a Joke when it comes to cost weighed against value. Do not get me wrong, they have the best Software and Hardware but the cost of RAM and Storage space is a joke. Also the computers in 2021 still starting at 256 GB is laughable. I think I have one more Apple purchase in me, then I may look to move on.
    Unfortunately I agree with you.

    Some of the costs for hardware make it difficult to not feel offended. 

    Apple has always walked the line maximising revenue while not making customers feel they are being taken advantage of. I think over the last few years the line has been crossed and they need to reset again. 

    HDD survived for far too long, as have the low storage options and RAM options. Undeniably to aid Apple’s bottom line but it’s been at the expense of customers best interests. 

    For a company which cares so much about it’s environmental responsibility. They seem to miss how much junk they’ve produced.  I’ve seen and retired so many junk machines a couple of years old with capped 128GB storage etc. 

    Though I won’t be making the change, although I feel they are past the line. The alternative is a lot worse and an option I wouldn’t consider.

  • 'Hello again:' Apple sends invitations for event on Oct. 27, new MacBook Pros expected

    Umm can we get a iPad Pro 12 refresh please perhaps with a pencil that's actually, you know, like not towering out of my shirt pocket or might idk actually have some way of attaching the thing to the iPad itself IJS....


    No sorry. Do one.

    All of you iPad people get out. You've been having updates galore for ages. Have some sympathy for us waiting for ... well pretty much every single Mac model to be updated! 

    This event is not for you its about the Mac (god let it be about the Mac for once) if you get some stuff thrown in too then bonus. 

    I don't think I can take it anymore if they don't update the Mac Mini, Mac Pro and entire laptop line except the MacBook One

  • Intel Mac Pro refresh hinted at in Xcode beta

    Who said hardcore gaming? 

    Only the people defending why the Macs gaming capability is so shit. 

    The original poster didn’t say he was hardcore gaming. Casual gamers like myself also have this issue. I am very much a casual gamer, but all my Macs are useless for it. Even the Mac Pro. 

    Very very disappointing that a company like Blizzard apparently felt they had no
    choice and released for Windows only at launch. Sad times. 

    Sort it out Apple, it’s easily within your power and would remove another obstacle a lot of people struggle with.

  • First look: Mac Pro and Apple Pro Display XDR [u]

    sedicivalvolesedicivalvole
    It’s here!!! FINALLY!!! 

    Initial thoughts on the design are that it’s a bit odd and I preferred the original look. But I’m sure that will pass. 

    Who cares!!! 

    Its finally here and has PCI!!!

    Well done Apple for going back. It was the right thing to do

  • AirPods with more features, new studio quality headphones possibly coming from Apple in 20...

    sedicivalvolesedicivalvole
    This would be amazing if it comes to pass!! 

    Noise cancelling AirPods. Sign me up right now.

    I agree with a poster above, the AirPods are the first bit of technology for probably 5 years or so that have given me a wow factor and had me recommending them to friends. The last time was probable the Retina MacBook Pro 2013 (though this wasn't revolutionary to me it was such a perfectly balanced machine) then previously the iPhone. 

    Love the AirPods

  • Rumored Mac Studio trade-in points to possible refresh during WWDC

    Reading these comments I am surprised by some of the comments. 

    That Apple is worse without Jonny Ive??? 

    That the iMac is “win in every way”

    In recent years, 5-10 or so. Jonny Ive had clearly taken things too far. Often making compromises on machines for design that simply made the machine worse at doing what it was meant to do. 

    The 2016 to 2020 MacBook Pros to mention just one line that was hampered during this period. 

    Since he has gone Apple have been releasing really good machines. MacBook Pro’s, M2 MacBook Air etc

    Apple are in a far better place now than they were then.

    As for the iMac being everything better than a Studio. Hard disagree on nearly every level except the visual appearance. Loud, noisy, clogged with dust. Screen issues over time the list goes on. 

    Choice is a good thing. I’m hoping we see an incremental update to the Studio to take the M2 line of chips. Would be lovely if the Studio Display could be tweaked but I can’t see that happening. If we get a larger iMac again with M series chips I think that’s a good thing. Certainly the M1 versions need an update now.  

    Keep updating Apple. Long gone are the stagnant later years of Jonny Ive.

    Good examples of the worst parts of this site above. 

    I find this very very interesting. Great to see these come out. I welcome anymore!
