People are nuts and will gripe about anything. It's an iPad. The camera and Touch ID are fine for the application. Apple has always been conscious of applying solid tech based on the use of the device. You'll notice there is no heart-rate monitor on…

Here's a pickle from Apple: "Wi-Fi Assist only works when you have apps running in the foreground and doesn't activate with background downloading of content." If this is indeed true, then no problem. Wifi assist should work similar to leaving your…

I totally agree with this suit. I think the class action should be considerably more. This feature automatically turned on AND the recent non-stop background usage from apps like FB and Yahoo, translate into some pretty horrible data and battery usa…

I don't care how you slice it, putting the charging port on the bottom is just terrible. You need to flip it over on it's back to charge it. Imagine doing this with the keyboard, where you lay it key-side down for a few hours. That's just odd. If yo…

I think the fact that not only does the Samsung's smaller chip NOT perform better, but actually performed 28% worse is the big story. Test 1000 phones, you'll see that the Samsung chip still performs contrary to what we would expect. Even if the chi…

I like Teslas. I see them all the time on the highway in the slow lane doing 60 mph.

He mentioned exactly 4 Apple innovations in one sentence. What an admirer.
