M4 Mac mini review: The first redesign in years hides incredible computing power
The biggest deal is the high price of ram and storage upgrades. It kind of defeats the purpose of making it smaller if i have to hang a bunch of peripherals off of it. How can the entry price be reasonable and the upgrades cost so much more than market? Only thing i can think of is that this is intentional, and greedy.

A clever hack fixes the new Mac mini power button's awkward location
I used to like the old iMac glowing power button on the front. When in sleep mode, it pulsed.
This may be a challenge for computer labs where security enclosures are needed. Accessing that button could prove difficult.
And if we go waaaay back, the power button on the keyboard was also slick.

Apple TV+ drama 'Foundation' to become Ireland's biggest-ever production
The original 3 books of the Foundation series are big idea books that span a long period of time. It will be hard to translate this well, but it's worth doing. Those books were great. I reiterate the sentiment above: don't screw this up.

Apple's continued lack of native apps on Vision Pro isn't a good sign for the platform
The Apple Watch is pretty popular, even if it remains mostly an accessory for the iPhone. If developers aren't developing for watchOS, that's on Apple not making it easy enough or profitable enough. Remember the early iPhone had no 3rd party developers, but once the App Store got rolling, 3rd party development took off.Rogue01 said:Even watchOS is dead and developers have pretty much abandoned that platform.

Apple said to be upgrading AirPods with 'Hey Siri' & better water resistance
I bought a set but I don't use them much. The double-tap to play/pause is useful but I'd like to control volume without digging out the phone. Hey Siri is unreliable. -
WWDC macOS 16 wishlist: What we'd like to see Apple add for power users
Yes, a better clipboard with history would be nice (but it should be clearable). Also, a contacts merge duplicates and cleanup tool would be great. But please fix System Settings, which has gotten so much worse than it was before. Even just let me resize the window or scroll right. Sync my stickies notes to iCloud. -
Review roundup: iPhone 7 is the greatest iPhone yet, but lack of the headphone jack is annoying

$650 for the iPhone7.
Use it for 2 years and then get $400 for trade in
That means for 2 years of use you pay $250.
That's 36 cents a day for something you use every day, 10+ hours a day.
Sure you buy a POS phone for $200 but it will be broken in a year and definitely worthless after 2 years. So you save $25 a year using a crappy POS phone.
People need to stop just looking at the initial price but look at trade in value and time saved versus using a crap phone or worse a phone that literally can kill you with an explosion/fire.

Apple's latest iPad Pro ad asks, 'What's a computer'
What's a computer? A computer is something you do work on. An iPad is something you consume media and play games on. You could try to dig a trench in your ballet slippers, but workboots make more sense.
