If it is 13.3" rather than 13 then it is not "only an inch" larger.

Sounds like a shakedown here. China bans 2 of Apple's key services. Apple invests $1 billion in a Chinese company. If China reverses the ban it will reek of a quid pro quo.

mhigasi said: Unbelievable how a company with 2.5 billion R&D budget has a such a slow upgrade pace. Where is all the money going to? The MacBook is limited by Intel. Apple could perhaps put a 15W Core i5/i7 with an active cooling syst…

appex said: "We started off comparing the SSD speed which was faster and more consistent in the new MacBook". Which values? 947 MB/s read and 845 MB/s write as reported here? Apple's updated MacBook is indeed faster with longer battery life …

For $150 this is a much better deal than the standard Apple leather bands. The Coach bands should be better quality leather (not as good as the Hermes, but not as rubbery feeling as the Apple bands).

Another question is which model did they test? The m3 is actually a "downgrade" relative to the Core M Broadwell chip Apple used last year (Intel culled the Core M line a bit with Skylake and went to 4 available processors from 7). The turbo boost o…

The question is whether this is a realistic test. Cinebench and Geekbench are not necessarily the best examples of "real world" usage. How about encoding a video in VLC, editing a photo in Photos, or running Windows 10 in Parallels Desktop or VMWare…

Maybe this is a sign that they are going to treat iCloud seriously. Or maybe she's being brought in to help sort out the turf wars between the iCloud and Siri teams.

Who'd have figured a modest price drop of $50 would make such a difference? I wonder if the same would help with the Stainless Steel model?

LTE seems like a surprising addition given that it drains battery, but perhaps Apple has been pleasantly pleased by the Watch's real-world battery performance. After all, if it already lasts the entire day for most people with 30-40% left, there isn…

LoneStar88 said: To hell with the hoi polloi and their envy. This is a classy-looking product and most likely selling well if they're adding cities and additional bands and colors. I really would like to know what Edition sales have been—pr…

Marvin said: The processors in these machines came out last year. The Surface Pro 4 got these Skylake chips in October, 6 months ago. It helps retain the resale value of older models I suppose. The performance of these CPUs is ok, this vide…

fallenjt said: Cool. We finally catch up with Japan 20 years ago. Tokyo and Kyoto still use paper cards for individual transactions and day passes.

Just don't go with Chicago's vendor. We rolled these out 3 years ago and it was a disaster for the first few months. People were getting double-charged while others weren't being charged at all. Balances from the old contactless system were supposed…

If the iPhone is any indication, the "S" updates are more significant. There's nothing wrong with the form factor. A faster, more efficient processor that makes the watch more responsive (and perhaps lets it display more e-mail graphics) would resol…
