Xed said: I'm glad that Apple has finally put this into Settings, but I wish there was an entire Settings section for default apps. IIRC, Apple moved the default mail and browser app settings from System Preferences to inside Mail and S…

anonymouse said: Actually, I prefer these scripted, pre-recorded presentations to the old live events. I think they are able to present a lot more information more clearly and concisely than doing a live event allows. You also avoid wasting t…

chutzpah said: The intention of the directive is not the same as the wording of the directive. There is nothing to stop Apple creating a "better than USB-C" wired charging solution and using it, even in the EU, as long as they abide by the…

mfryd said: The fear is that Apple will do something outside the USB-C standard. Third party standard USB-C chargers/cables may not be allowed to charge as fast as Apple approved "Mi-Fi" cables. Yes, one must be careful in how the rules are…

payeco said: If they were going to have some even quicker charging speed why would they have held it back for USB-C? Lightning can handle way more than even the 27w the 14 Pro Max peaks at. I think Apple is done innovating with cables. Once t…

payeco said: So people actually think all these Anker, Belkin, Aukey, etc. USB-C chargers that people have and have been using to charge their iPhones at 18+ watts with USB-C to Lightning cables will suddenly become nerfed and charge at just …

As written, there are two characteristics that this review makes ambiguous, and subject to misconception. First, rather importantly, the backlighting on the MX is ephemeral, in response to motion sensing, and not constant. Those who expect a typica…

The technology is neat, and the physics may actually be conquered at some point, but on a practical level, Aira is trying to solve a problem that that market has decided has largely been solved, at much lower cost. Free-positioning isn't necessaril…

tht said: Won't be the first time Apple buys iPhone SoC chips that are made in the USA. People seem to have forgotten that Samsung was Apple's primary supplier, via its plant in Texas, before TSMC started to take more of Apple's business. …

I have set it to invoke Control Center. Never been a fan of gestures that require reaching to the top of the screen and pulling down, or reaching up to the top of the screen in general.
