I have a few "concerns" about the forthcoming adoption of HEVC. Firstly, while I agree with most everybody here that it's pretty obvious that iTunes 4K content would be in HEVC, what about current content that's in SD or HD? Secondly, in regards…

While it was the jump from USB 2 to USB 3 and I believe it also applied to the jump to USB 3.1 (10gbps), my understanding was it required hardware changes and that the reason Apple was one of the last to roll out the new standard was because they di…

Something to consider is if this is effectively a shadow announcement of a new 4K ATV, or at least one which supports HEVC. The reason I'm saying that is Amazon apparently announced a while ago, that they were switching the HEVC for all of their vi…

Even though the impetus was apparently Windows 10 S, I don't see any reason that people running Windows 10 or Windows 10 Pro wouldn't be able to install it through the Windows Store, so like many of them who use iTunes, I'll be taking a good, hard l…

While I agree with most everybody here that it's unlikely that Apple would replace the Lightning Port with USB-C, the thought occurred to me that if they're planning to do so eventually, why not now. There would be massive disruption and commentary…

While the support of Apple Homekit is nice, and a useful feature, my concern is future proofing and non Apple owners. While the future proofing can't really have anything done about it, aside of making it as easy as possible to upgrade/replace, the…

About the only comment/complaint I would make regarding the new LG Displays is the lack of a Ethernet Port. I understand you can and will have to use a dongle to connect to a wired network, and that many people are connecting through wi-fi, but, th…

"Also reiterating previous rumors, Barclays claims that the 9.7-inch iPad Pro will not be a premium model, despite it's "pro" nomenclature, and be "low-cost" sold aside the 7.9-inch iPad mini. If the reports are accurate, the iPad mini will not see …

I am wondering, is the the flash in the iPhones the same type as that used in computer SSDs. If it isn't, or even if it is, is Apple likely to look at adopting UFS in it's mobile devices? I am honestly asking and want to know.

In regards to a Sept. 7 media event, doesn't Apple do them on Tuesdays? I thought that they did, and Sept. 7 is a Wednesday.

For those who are commenting about NYC finally rolling out contactless payments, keep in mind, unlike most other cities which only have two services, buses and subway, like Chicago, New York has many regional transport tie-ins, including things like…

It is also the General Assembly of the UN. That also caused disruptions in traffic in NYC every year, with streets blocked for the different Motorcades of the different Heads of State/Heads of Government from airports, hotels, embassies, other meet…
