The people who built Netflix into what it is today -- a destination for original content -- are Reed Hastings (co-founder) and, in particular, Ted Sarandos, who is now co-CEO/Chief Content Office, and their lieutenants. Whatever role this guy may h…

CarmB said: Mazda would make a lot of sense in so much as Mazda has limited resources compared to a lot of competitiors. As such, having a partner with deep pockets like Apple could go a long way towards moving Mazda successfully into the ele…

Many seem to forget, especially those who complain about Cook and pine for Jobs, is that he was the person whom Jobs chose to be his successor, and safeguard his legacy. Jobs recruited Cook to the company, worked with him for many years, and knew ex…

For suppliers, product placement in Apple's stores surely has some value, in terms of exposure to the desirable demographics who frequent them and a tacit endorsement as solutions that Apple offers, either solely, or alongside Apple's own products. …

Gates was much better at the FUD game. Anyone with a modicum of critical thinking ability could see through Zuckerberg's lame attempts to deflect criticism away from his own company, and try to cast Apple in a bad light. Sadly, a lot of people lack…

These Belkin charging stations have always been pricey, and exclusively sold through Apple Stores and Belkin. Obviously not aimed at those who shop for $25 stands on Aliexpress, or for those who don't want to wait weeks for delivery, on Amazon.

The last sentence of the PCW article says:"But without the combined miracle of a much better CPU from Qualcomm or another Arm chipmaker and continued improvements from Microsoft, the future of Windows on Arm looks grim. Not if MS decides to commit t…

An iPhone that employs USB PD can draw 22W, and up to 25W, from an adapter that can supply it, so 18W is certainly not the maximum. That's just Apple being conservative with the adapters it bundled with the 11, though not to the extent of the ubiqui…

SpamSandwich said: That is not an attractive piece by my standards. It's an odd design, isn't it? No doubt it's well made, but why go to the trouble of using a piece of wood, and then hiding it on the back, where it won't often be seen? A…

Nice. This remote doesn't lack any of the functionality that the OE Apple remote has, including Siri, plus it has backlighting, and dispenses with the lame mini track pad that's as much of a hindrance as it is help. Surprising that it took this lo…

jdb8167 said: Any PD 3.0 that supports 9 V 3 A will work. That’s the normal profile. You only need the 2.22 A if you want a 20 W charger. Apple isn’t doing anything odd here it is just the spec is pretty new and not widely adopted yet. …

Mike Wuerthele said: Good on the -gate thing. Apologies for misunderstanding. We are not the first to come to the conclusion that a suitable specced PD 3.0 charger will do the job, but we're the first (I believe) to explain specifically why, …

Mike Wuerthele said: it is not PD 3.0. PD 3.0 is backwards compatible with PD 2.0, 1.0, and USB 3 charging, so I'm not sure what you're wondering about with "quirks" on the iPhone 12. In no way is this a "gate" by any definition, and that…

MplsP said: Nice article - it explains a lot. It still doesn’t explain why the MagSafe connector couldn’t use the older 2.0 protocol to get higher power delivery. Strictly limiting bit to the 3.0 protocol that’s less than a year old means rel…

"if you don't want to buy Apple's USB-C AC adapter, any USB-PD 3.0 one will do to get that faster charging speed, and a lesser one, won't." Is that really the case? Apple's 96W adapter, released in 2019 with the MBP 16", has been tested to result…

Did similar notifications in Settings offering iCloud storage, the free year of AppleTV+ promo, and AppleCare+ somehow go unnoticed? The one pushing additional iCloud storage is triggered in response to failed backups due to insufficient space, and…

Apple also went back and forth between 10W and 12W chargers during the period of the 3/4/Air/Air 2. 2W (or 0.22A) is only a minor difference in both theoretical or practical terms, so the Pro is hardly "stuck" with the 18W version. The company tends…
