  • Apple hires labor-busting lawyers to fight employees' efforts to unionize

    Gotta love the hypocrisy of these tech companies!

    Why should Apple give these away for free when they can make a good margin selling them? I guess they think that they will sell enough of additional iPhone to make up the profit and even make some more.
    How about stop being such a cheap-ass company and not worry about the extra $2 a higher end charger is going to cost when you sell $1,000 phones. 

    Its s a joke that iPhones ship with 5W chargers. They should at least ship the 12W iPad chargers with them.

    Apple is always saying to vote for regulation and big government.

  • Touch ID MacBook, 'Series 4' Apple Watch with ceramic back, USB-C iPad Pro may be coming

    Kuo predicts, upcoming Macbook might have TouchID but not full touchbar, is most sensible thing for MAC laptops. Wish Apple just get rid of that touchbar and have either full screen touch or simply touchID or FaceID for secure login..
    It would be great to make the touchbar an option on the 15”. I have no use for it, especially at the cost premium.

    You know, in Brazil we have an expression: "Boasting to kill the jaguar, after it's already dead!" I doesn't really translates, but it really resonates with some of the reactions we've been seeing this past week. You know who doesn't give a damn? Regular Apple customers. You know, people with real jobs and life worries, that don't abuse children, and invest in Apple hardware because they think it is better than the competition's. They are also people that don't agonize about some very technical and narrow definition of privacy, particularly when it's been polluted by personal (ahem, monetary) interests, and when their own Congress is just about incapable of even following the most straightforward aspects of technology.

    Talk about an overblown "first world" problem.

    You need a blind gif.  
    I’m an average American, strong middle class, comfortable but not rich. I work a lot and I don’t abuse children (don’t have any of my own yet). But I have nieces and I’d never stand for anyone, including myself abusing them. 

    That said, this is a different game here. It’s a dangerous slippery slope. I understand the idea for this feature but I think it’s going to slowly erode the progress and trust Apple has made.  For me, it’s the principle of the matter. 

    I’m debating cancelling my iCloud services in protest. Probably won’t affect Apple but hey. I can only vote with my dollar. If it gets out of hand, I’m just going to switch away from Apple iPhones. Just did with the laptops. So that’s about 3K they didn’t get from me. Again, it’s all I can do as an individual. The masses will decide from here.

    Other than battery capacity, it is a bit of a travesty that ALL features are only available on the oversized two handed jumbo phone for a given model year.

    i am pretty sure that Steve Jobs thought or said  phones should be able to be used with one hand.  I happen to agree with Steve on that.
    A good deal of this is physics. Volume is a cubed function. Increases in size have a huge impact on the volume of the device. No way can apple get the same features in a 4” screened iPhone that they get into a 6” screen iPhone.

    not to mention the market has spoken, look at the pressure to introduce larger screened phones when apple released the iPhone 4S. Even the 4” screen of the iPhone 5 was behind the times. 

    Admittedly, the screen sizes now are at the upper limit without folding technologies.

  • iPhone 16 Pro may get larger displays than iPhone 15 Pro counterparts

    Takes 4 years to get meaningful phone upgrades these days. 
    Looking to keep my new 15 pro for a good 4 years, maybe 6.

    Always entertaining when the companies all for big government and regulation complain when it affects them.

    Other than 3% back on Apple purchases, what’s so special about this card? I’m not buying that it’s anything special.
