"Considering the mass-market appeal, we get Apple's choice but don't love it. This was ok in 2017, but in 2019 it should really be all USB-C and Thunderbolt 3. We've said it before, ripping off the USB-A band-aid is the only way to go, here" Couldn…

Why do I suspect that some part of the narrative is missing, for example that the perpetrators were working with pals in China who were sending them screens and phone backs from recycling plants to use in making IPhonr-Alice’s that could pass muster…

That is not the Taiwanese flag, but the flag of the Republic of China, which relocated to Taiwan after losing mainland China to the Communists in 1949. For a discussion, see the West Wing episode "A Change is Gonna Come" (first shown 12/01/2004).

As I believe I speculated here before, Apple may view WiFi access points and mesh systems as products with limited lifetimes, simply because of the adoption of 5G over the next few years. Why have additional infrastructure in the house if devices in…

With Macs, I've consistently bought new, with AppleCare, every three years so I'm covered (I hope) if something goes wrong. With iPhones, the two-year coverage under AppleCare+ appears designed to drive more frequent replacement than I find any reas…

Hope the Tech Den is made of steel or some extremely impact-resistant plastic, because I can foresee a lot of them being thrown at walls and flors by irate rugrats,

NASA and the Departments of Justice and Commerce have been banned from purchasing Huawei and ZTE hardware even if integrated into other vendors' systems, since 2013. I don't think that's the basic issue. This promotion by Chinese companies is prett…

Department of niggling and redundant trivia department: Kendall Square, like the MIT campus, is in Cambridge, Massachusetts, across the Charles River from Boston. But it's all part of the greater Boston area, a.k.a. the Hub of the Universe.

Consider this another "me me me" comment if you will, but I realize everybody's mileage (kilometrage) will vary. For a variety off reasons including what else I keep in the pocket, how deep it is, and where my body folds when I drive a car, my ph…

A "cheap $10 wireless charger on Amazon will juice your iPhone faster than the adapter that ships in the box." It will also likely explode in flames someday. Apple's won't. Or if you have any cash left over after buying the XS, Apple's Lightning to …

I suspect the delivery times might be stretched by a few days after typhoon Mangkhut slammed into Guandong province over the weekend.

10:15 AM, Excess, er, Xs with 64 Gbyte, Verizon, 2 - 3 week wait. I can handle it. Especially because Apple almost always delivers at least a day or two early on such orders to make people happy.

Am I the only one to feel that 11 years is a long time for Apple to reach truth in advertising with the iPhone Excess? Seriously, I will probably upgrade to one from my 6, mainly because of the rear camera, the display, and the OS features that a…
