DAalseth said: EDIT: Here in Canada it starts at $899. Nope, it’s not worth it. The base 16, that is significantly better is not that much more. If you are thinking of buying a 16 in Canada, be sure to make that decision soon. The only r…

JinTech said: A link to the video would be nice.... There is a video link, but it's confusingly labelled as "described as" in the article. But still, the link should be more directly stated and highlighted. And why not embed it? In any c…

A direct price comparison helps highlight the value of the Macbook Air over the dated and limited 13" Macbook Pro chassis (worse camera, heavier, no dedicated charging port) $1,699 Macbook Air 8-core CPU, 10-core GPU, 16 GB RAM, 512GB SSD $1,699 Ma…

A level up from the HomePod mini would be welcome. After using a number of original HomePods and HomePods mini alone and in stereo, the minis are a pale comparison to the original HomePod. I think the price difference was reasonable given the more…

Here's the thing I discovered using a similar, flat charging matt. The way the sport watch bands sit, if you lay the watch flat, it starts to lift up in the middle, pulling the back of the watch far enough away from the matt that it doesn't consiste…

Some sleuthing on AppleInsider.com reveals that Apple has, indeed, been meeting with AMD engineers to discuss AMD CPUs. What a prescient article this could be!

There's an okay knowledgeable article on the Afterburner card here: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT210748 I'd still like to know what the impact is on 4k vs 8k. Presumably, performance is more significantly impacted if you're working with 8k v…

The trouble with basically any other monitor other than the 27" LG Ultrafine is the PPI. This BenQ is not retina resolution, nor is it well suited to MacOS as a non-retina display (reference: https://bjango.com/articles/macexternaldisplays/). With …

OutdoorAppDeveloper said: But are any of those products really new or are they just updates to existing products? When will we see something truly groundbreaking from Apple? My two cents: Airpods were and continue to be truly groundbreaki…

coolfactor said: And this may seem silly, but adding a photo to a Messages conversation is annoying. They moved the photo selector to the top-left corner and I always find it difficult to reach that one-handed. Seems like a big step backwards in…

docno42 said: Ugh, once again integrated graphics only. Once again Apple pays lip service to pro users. For pro users who are fed up with integrated graphics, Apple is definitely all-in on promoting eGPUs. You want pro GPU performance fro…

I'd like to point out that I've had no issue playing the game on my iPad mini 4. I know the app store says you need to play it on a new iPad, but the fact of the matter is: the game is slow on any iPad once you get into the latter stages where the m…

simms327 said: Appleinsider - can you do a quick test to see which is a better machine in terms of FCPX performance? I am a hobbyist video producer (vacation videos etc...) and currently have a 2012 rMBP. I am looking for an upgrade and am cu…

Folio said: A CNBC reporter yesterday asked Siri about WWDC and her reply was: “I don’t want to brag, but I’m getting a lot smarter.” I then asked my iPhone, hey Siri tell me about the WWDC. “I’m gonna have a shiny new home! well, not re…

mavemufc said: Here’s why it’s a bad idea, cost. There's a simple way to address this: two SE models. 1. iPhone mini (replacing the SE) 2. iPhone X mini (as an SE premium) The SE naming convention doesn't work if they intend to continue …

I would buy a new budget SE if it has an improved screen and front-facing camera, otherwise, I'll stick with the current model. I would also buy a premium iPhone SE if it has a similar footprint to the current model. Us smaller phone aficionados …

AppleInsider said: With the content now available on Apple Music, DJs can create their own mixes, Dubset said. To be clear, DJs creating their own mixes and the Aoki quote that follows have nothing to do with Apple Music. Both refer to D…

Sharing music libraries is going to be wacky. Apple's version 1 answer to this has already shipped with AppleTV. My entire "For You" section is an amalgamation of the two of us who live in the house and use the AppleTV to play music because there…
