macgui said: It looks like Apple pulled the 11.4 update. Maybe it wasn't supposed to be released yet because something else wasn't ready or maybe there was a bug discovered that needs to be squashed? 9TO5Mac is reporting that Watch 11.4 wa…

Toroidal said: As noted above, nobody else is addressing that market, which Apple could have to itself - and do it at a premium. Apple is no stranger to high margin low volume markets. Apple DID have the "mini" market to itself and at a p…

hmlongco said: On a serious note, if Apple makes one they need to commit to making one for more than just a year. People are on multi-year upgrade cycles, and even people who might want one might be off-cycle and unable to buy at that point in t…

But wait!!! It was less than three months ago, on January 3rd, when AI ran a headline article about iPad Pro sales being so weak that Apple was shutting down and redeploying production lines for its display! The sky is falling! https://appleinsider.…

Gosh, I'd be happy to do a remedial math course with the AI staff to help with future articles. At 5.5mm, the Air/Slim would be one-third slimmer than the 8.25mm iPhone Pro Max. I know half as thick sounds way more awesome but it just doesn't happen…

tiredskills said: Shame that they're so rough on the eyes when using an Apple device. An e-bookstore without an e-ink reader is a losing proposition. Yes! This quote from the article jumped out at me: Apple Books on any Apple device are…

These deeper dives into Apple's core suite of productivity apps are really worthwhile. As app companies have mostly moved to a subscription model, what used to be the price to buy an app and own it has become the annual subscription fee that you hav…

I would have upgraded both my M1 iMac and M2 MBA this year, but it's a pass until Apple supports Wifi 7. Bizarre to me that iPhones which launched in Sept support it, but other hardware launched after iPhone don't. Longer upgrade cycles pose a real …

Superb analysis, William! Having spent my career producing television I'd say you hit all the key points. Of course, some people will never get it, but it has always been that way with Apple.

Totally not surprised this happened although I didn't expect it to take this long. Tim Cook is the proverbial iron fist in a velvet glove. It's worth recounting this tale from an urgent meeting Cook had called: "One day back then, he convened a mee…

if these mockups really are what's coming, then Apple should rename the Pro models "Frankenphone." The Pros, especially, are THE fugliest, most god-awful design I've ever seen from Apple, bar none, like a flashing, tawdry-colored neon sign that says…
