Apple Card has been a big hit with me and the wife. It's been a much more pleasant experience than using the few other credit cards during our lifetime. I hope Apple is able to find a good successor and provide a similar experience with that replace…

One thing I highly recommend is avoiding 8 GB of RAM unless you intend to use if for less than 3 years. While macOS does a lot better than the latest versions of Windows with low amounts of RAM (a mere 8 GB at my work is quite painful to use now wit…

100W USB-C output. It's nice to see manufacturers starting to provide this port with enough power delivery to reasonably operate larger laptops such as the 16" MBP instead of having to rely on the AC inverter with another conversion back to DC incur…

Not withstanding potential security concerns and cost savings, is there any advantage this device would have versus a camera that potentially has a lot more functionality?

The story left out that the kid left a $16 tip. Very generous of him (using his mom's money).

While we see published speeds for this device making it look good, real world speeds for small USB flash drives often don't come anywhere close to that. Try and write 200 GB to it -- you'll see thermal throttling take the speed way down from the pea…

The fix for captive networks is years late -- it should have been addressed a long time ago. Companies started to put a little browser on devices just to get through network access dialogs something like 20 years ago. The failure for ATV to have thi…

Hopefully most of the people using Apple Music on a TV will listen to this through a sound bar at a minimum. Today's nice svelte TVs have had to make one serious compromise to obtain that thinness: audio quality.

Seriously people... if they are tech savvy enough to buy bitcoin then they should be smart enough to not fall for stupid scams like these.

AppleInsider said: In continued adherence with government regulations in France, Apple is supplying iPhone 13 buyers in that country a free pair of EarPods in the box. So who is really paying for these? Or are they simply appearing out of…

One thing I find amazing about Apple is that they are able to keep a lot of the hardware under wraps so well before their official announcements. Take the iPhone for example: there are well over 100,000 people working on manufacturing and assembling…

AppleInsider said: Issued without a beta ... Unusually, there were beta releases of the updates, so it is probable that any changes are minor enough not to warrant widespread testing. Which is it?

$399 is quite high for this market. This does have some nice innovative features, but I could definitely forgo them.
