Anything can be faster if it gobbles up inordinate amount of resources. Safari on the other fast yet still efficient in its use of resources.

That’s quite slow considering the price. A lot of external SSD based on USB-C now uses USB 3.2 interface with bandwidth of 10 Gbps. I have an OWC Envoy Pro Ex ($270- 1TB) but it’s pretty much the same with any equivalent SSD from Samsung (T7) or WD …

I’m surprised the article fails to mention that the Force Touch trackpad itself uses haptic feedback for the click mechanism. Underneath the trackpad is the biggest Taptic Engine- bigger than the ones in iPhone.

The single core alone is almost twice that of the Snapdragon 865 (1,583 vs 870). The multi-core is a lot closer although you have to consider that the SD865 runs on 8 cores vs 6 on the Apple A14 (Apple has been using 6 cores on the regular A series…

The T2 chip is more than just a security chip. It incorporates everything from the System Management Controller (SMC), SSD Controller/Hardware Encryption/Secure Boot for system storage, ISP (image signal processor), audio controller and Security En…

Nice article. It’s interesting but my not unexpected to see the differences in setup. I don’t how much the personalities of the staff affect the milieu but at the very least it’s still a projection of what of how we want to be perceived or at the ve…

DuhSesame said: Is the 16" any wider in dimensions? Looks like the trackpad is the same size isn't it? I think it’s bigger in all dimensions- slightly wider, deeper and ever so slightly thicker. Probably closer in size to the older pre-la…

I think to show the thermal improvement that’s been done, you need to run, for example, Cinebench R15 or R50 back to back multiple (10 times or more) and look at the deviation In result.

I'm thinking this first batch is probably either more test units or store demo units intended for the European and Mid East market/stores.

The R/W speed of this chip is too slow for the rMBP especially the 15" which already R/W sequentially at 1.5 GB/s (although the current rMBP is still using AHCI instead of the newer, lower latency NVMe). Plus I don't think space is as much premium …

The cost isn't necessarily due to OLED being superior technology but rather a less mature and therefore harder to manufacture product. It also suffers from numerous QC issues that's no longer affecting LCD. All these issues lead to the product being…

I love the idea of combining the on-screen TouchID and Force Touch. "Press to Unlock" where you have to place enough pressure on the screen (to eliminate unintended unlocking) using the registered thumb or finger would be a brilliant replacement for…

Surprisingly, Alchemy keyboard seems to be back in the App Store (right after Apple's acquisition, it was gone from the App Store). And it's now seems to be a free app. Previously it was a freemium app- you download for free and pay for the useful f…

If the recent report of Apple acquiring imaging company LinX were true, that's another Israel startup being added to the list.

Has the author seen "Stranger by the Lake" that's been available for months on iTunes?

No problem downloading from the Canadian App Store.
