I have to say, these look legit. It will be interesting to hear how Apple has addressed the bending issue in a phone this thin. Cue the YouTube videos destroying iPhone Slims by bending them. Couple of things I noticed: first, the Slim appears to ha…

Trump collected over one-quarter of a billion dollars in donations--$239 million to be exact--just for his inauguration. And here's some context: Obama 1: $53 million Obama 2: $43 million Trump 1: $107 million Biden: $61 million Trump 2: …

Whim of the moment economic "policy" continues unabated. The world is not MAGA and doesn't believe Trump's con man threats, and the world has learned that Trump caves as soon as there's pushback. Late today, Trump began his inevitable fold to China,…

I fully expect a 17e next year and I can't imagine the 16e would stay in the lineup as a lower-priced phone that would cannibalize sales of the more expensive 17e. I think the lineup will remain similar to what we now have, in ascending price order:…

"51% of current users intend to upgrade in the next year." Oh, yeah, very typical iPhone upgrade cycle, half of all current iPhone users get a new one annually. "40% are strongly interested in foldable or thin iPhones." Definitely. And we know …

Never has the word "blue" had to do as much heavy lifting as it does in Apple's interpretation of Sky Blue. The mock-up photo shown above is WAY more blue-looking than either the MBA or iPad Air in the sky blue color, which is more of a, "if you squ…

Not sure when this started, but I recently noticed that AI has come to Siri in CarPlay and so far, I have to say that I've been impressed! In the past, Siri in CarPlay couldn't answer most questions I asked beyond typical data like "What's the weath…

cpsro said: Lack of a blood oxygen sensor will be a killer for many people. It has been this way since January 2024 with no indication that it's killing Apple Watch sales. The simple fact is that if you want a Watch that will integrate sea…

The superb and consistent video and audio quality from the Apple TV box has always been my primary reason for using it. I can't say that I've tried a lot of other options, but Apple TV was clearly superior to either Amazon's box (and I've tried a fe…

Zero surprise. Galaxy Fold 6 ranges from $1600 to nearly $2K at Best Buy, depending on storage, So it sounds like Apple will be within a few hundred of those numbers. Why Apple would introduce this extremely niche and expensive bridge to nowhere is …
