melgross said: But I don’t really want a subscription. It’s unclear if the “free” app updates with the sub are also going to be available for the $36 one time version. And what’s this about the price increasing every time they add features? …

adyb said: The sweet spot for me would have been an Air with 128GB storage but as they don't do one of those, do I go for the 256GB Air (at £729) or the 128GB 11" Pro (at £769)? Decisions, decisions! I had the same dilemma, and chose the 1…

MplsP said: I have the same problem - I’m still back at version 6.2.1 because it can’t update due to ‘inadequate memory’ even though I have nothing extra installed. I don’t really care about the new features, so I’m content with what I hav…

Apple is informing its users about advertisers' practices, and giving them the choice whether they wish to opt in. Entirely appropriate. But the sad thing is, despite the teeth gnashing and fear mongering being propagated by the ad industry, many, …

I can see the plausibility of the other rumors, but an A12X in the budget iPad, when the ~six-month old iPad Pro has the nearly identical A12Z doesn't seem likely, unless a surprise speed bump for the Pro is revealed as well. I wouldn't be surprised…

tmay said: I don't imagine that Apple has concerns one way or the other. Apple is likely at a point where they have in house capability and have licensed necessary IP to create their own proprietary ISA, while also large enough to create the …

Nice gesture on the part of Nomad, but the real solution is for Apple to move away from the proprietary charger that the Watch requires, and make it compatible with standard Qi chargers like the rest of Apple's wireless-charging products are. The Wa…

mcdave said: I just don’t get why Apple releases their flagship processor in a phone, it’s ridiculous. They should release the A14 in the iPad Air & MacBook first with A14X for the iPad Pro & MacBook Pro. With Apple Silicon takin…

NicB said: Beats said: I was blown away the first time I saw pictures of this Apple Store. The most beautiful one yet. Also is that an actual bar or cafe up there? Is that on the Apple Store property? Can't figure that picture out. L…

In next season's Westworld, Rehoboam has come back even bigger and better… Seriously, though, if the show returns to Singapore for more shooting, it would be fun to see them work the store into a shot somehow.

I don't give as much credence to the piece with the schematics being the base iPad than to the tweet with the iPad Air booklet. The former offers nothing except a set of indecipherable, albeit authentic-looking, drawings and the claim that they repr…

Before anyone screams "fake!" and says it's impossible to obtain such schematics, do know that Apple openly publishes these drawings as part of their Accessory Design Guidelines for Apple Devices. It is the bible that case manufacturers use to desig…

I was beginning to wonder if this was vaporware, after being announced last fall, then shown at CES, but nothing since then. Glad to see it may ship as a viable product. $229 is steep, but this is a first-generation, leading-edge product from what i…

elijahg said: I think it's real. Looks like Apple's PCB design. It would have been a fortune with all those RFID controllers on, maybe it was scrapped due to price rather than (or as well as) overheating. I have little doubt it's real. …

viclauyyc said: I am not talking about the epic situation here. But can Apple’s iOS, Sony’s PlayStation or MS Xbox legally ok to ban any company forever? I mean all these companies have a closed system, unlike Google’s android or MS’s windows…

Something the Cook detractors often fail to acknowledge is that Jobs, their hero, personally recruited Cook to Apple, worked closely with him for more than a decade, hand-picked him to be his successor, and urged Cook to chart his own course, and no…

The Content Cartel holds the cards. MSOs and general OTT service providers (as well as theater owners) are at their mercy. Not only is the Cartel hiking their carriage fees, and replaying the same game they do with the MSOs, now they're competing di…
