Apple indicated 2-3 years ago that it intended M-chips to get updated annually, and it has been keeping to that schedule. You could predict the M6 and M7 release dates right now and probably be right. And as each successive iteration gets better, th…

Nice reporting. You've captured well the conundrum Apple is facing without Chicken Little hysterics. It's behind in AI development and I don't doubt that its existing internal product is inferior to what's available from third parties. So... do you …

This is like an SNL satire commercial for iPhone: "And for iPhone 17, after years of research and development, we've even moved the logo!" (Cut to lab scenes of logo being "tested" in ridiculous positions.) So far we've got a "me, too" camera bar an…

Stop by any Sunday at the giant flea market in the parking lot of MetLife Stadium (home to the football Giants and Jets) in NJ and you'll find stacks of Apple products on vendor tables, selling "new in box" for under $50. The boxes are near indistin…

Not an Adobe fan, but cannot wait to try this. At least to my eye, there was a certain point in iPhone photography where all of the whiz-bang computational blah-blah to give us "perfect" photos stopped looking like what my eye was seeing. There was …

From a long article this morning on CNBC about foldable phones, specifically thinner models from the Chinese, and a thinner foldable in the pipeline from Samsung. The last sentence pretty much says it all... and that's before you consider Apple's al…

Once again, this speaks to the degree of contempt and assumption of idiocy that Trump, Inc has for his lobotomized followers. I have no doubt that everyone connected with this phone surely knew that it would take about a nanosecond to reveal that it…

Fools and their money. TACO just keeps turning his lemmings upside down and shaking whatever change might remain out of their pockets. And yeah, totally normal for a U.S. president's private company to jump into the mobile phone business when he's i…

To a degree, Apple is damned if it does, damned if it doesn't. While I have sympathy for developers whose businesses get upended when Apple Sherlocks their app's functionality into the OS, surely no developer could be unaware--24 years after Sherloc…
