  • Commemorating Steve Jobs and his continuing influence on technology

    As a life long apple user…… he is dead! Move along and find a new demigod. Let the poor man rest and get yourselves a new god to worship.

  • AirPods' 2024 refresh could include two Gen 4 models, AirPods Max update

    Strangedays…..learn a bit more you post your snide remarks! Airpod Pro’s cannot even play Apple lossless music because they are way behind on using current codecs such as aptX lossless to play lossless music over bluetooth!  That feature alone is needed to warrant there pricing. In the world of ultra high end headphones they are lacking.

  • iPhone 16 Pro could get 48MP Ultra Wide camera, Wi-FI 7 support

    Lol, only thing the rumor mill can conjure up is a new camera and new wifi standard! These products have just become stale because they are already so good. Heck, even the design language of these phones has become dated and predictable.

  • Apple Watch Ultra review: Ambitious aspirations

    Thank you for an honest review, and being willing to point out what could be perceived as shortcomings. I agree with your assessment that it feels like a first generation product. Now let’s just wait for all the apple apologist to gang on about how wonderful this product is and not that they got suckered for paying $800 for a bigger watch but they really have no use buying over a series 8. Now we can just wait for apples, marketing team, to conjure up a story about how the non free diving app and fall detection managed to save someone’s grandma from having a heart attack at 200 feet underwater after she fell, and hit her head on a rock

  • Hunter Douglas PowerView shades review: The most luxe experience a HomeKit user could ask ...

    Maestro, if your wife cannot handle once a year battery charging then you sure chose a needy and demanding wife. Next marriage, choose better.

  • Apple Car is delayed -- again

    Thadec…..sorry but no…..Apple cannot build a modem. They have learned the hard way from the Qualcomm fiasco that even mighty Apple cannot get around the patent thicket that Qualcomm has. Purchasing Intel junk for $1.5b had yielded nothing except modem prototypes that are not even competitive with past or current modem designs. As for a car, do you folks realize that it’s not just building a car that is the amazing challenge, but you also have to provide services to these products that you have made which are much more sophisticated and costly than going to the Apple genius bar. You have to provide warrantees and parts for these products for years as well as locations to take them to be serviced and repaired. You also have to be subjected to recalls and lawsuits. This is an undertaking so big that Apple has never even dealt with in their prior experience. Everyone is so excited about what the electronics would be in this car, has it ever dawned on you that Apple has to make a car that can even pass crash tests…… We are talking about areas they have no idea of what it’s like to compete in.

  • Apple's legal bid to pause Apple Watch sales & import ban fails

    Chelgrian……. do you not see that removing features from a watch that a person already paid for Could and probably would lead to a large class action lawsuit against Apple. Do you think Apple really wants that backlash from their customers? People bought their product because it had those features, and now you’ve taken them away. I see nothing but problems with this

  • Apple sat at a crossroads of indecision that led to Project Titan's slow death

    Just millions? Try hundreds of millions or several billion to just start to build the infrastructure to make a car even Apple eventually knows when their hubris has gone to far.

  • Why Thread is a game-changer for Apple's HomeKit

    Cool to see Apple finally on par with Alexa and Nest with the implementation of Thread. Still need more products to use it but they are coming. Amazon also added Thread capabilities to their Eero mesh networks awhile back. Should make all of this easier for all.  Now to wait for the Alexa and Nest haters to show up to preach about their privacy.
