About time. iTunes is impossible to navigate in its current form. Split it into smaller, focused and more manageable pieces.

I just read Joanna Stern’s article in the Wall Street Journal. She is absolutely right, Apple has got to stop prioritising thin-ness over functionally. Or, in her own words (typed on her butterfly keyboard)... ’Itt’s ttimee tto sttop prriorrittizi…

The problem is Lack Of Key Travel which makes these keyboards the worst of any MacBook series. They are HORRIBLE to type on with insufficient tactile feedback.

Apple's market shares of PCs peaked in 2015-16 which was the last time it made decent keyboards. The new ultra-shallow butterfly keyboards - which have barely any key travel - are destroying the MacBook product line. It's so sad. These horrible ne…

The old MacBook Air has a great keyboard with lots of travel and tactile feedback. Whereas the keyboard on the new MacBook Air is HORRIBLE. There is barely any key travel or tactile response. It’s such a shame because the new MacBook Air could h…

DuhSesame said: Great, this topic now it’s flood by idiots. Have any one of you even think about how much this will be? Is it really going to be mass produced? You people certain that they didn’t know the pros and cons for this particular …

Apple’s strategy to ‘condition’ people to use ultra flat keyboards with almost zero feedback is doomed to fail.This is because we humans are, by nature, tactile creatures who like to grasp, feel and touch things in three dimensions. The latest butte…

Thank goodness. I love Touch ID and am glad it will stay on the next iPads. I also love Touch ID on my iPhone 8. In fact, I like it so much I refuse to buy an iPhone without it. I did did try an iPhone XR for 10 days but swapped it back for an 8…

You forgot to mention the one feature that makes the new MacBook Air unuseable for many people. The keyboard. It’s attrocious. It offers so little keytravel that it’s like typing on a flat surface. There is insufficient feedback to provide a satis…

The iPhone 8 continues to outsell the newer phones (XS and XR) in my local Apple store in Sydney during the Xmas/New Year period. I suspect this is the same situation elsewhere but now that Apple doesn’t report individual model performances we may n…

I don’t trust Face ID. The type of infrared lasers (VSCEL) that Face ID beams directly into your eyes may not be without risks. Sure, infrared light emits less energy than normal light, but our eyes have not evolved to deal with concentrated laser…

It does make sense for Apple to push towards a single type of port that does everything because it would be convenient. But this assumes that the industry will agree to a single standard, which is not likely in the short to medium term – hence all t…

Removing things users want and need solely in the name of a design philosophy and without the intent to improve the user experience is poor design. I think the minimalist iPhone design philosophy has been transported over to the Mac lines where…

GeorgeBMac asked the KEY question here, which is "Would you buy a MacBook if it was running Windows 10 instead of MacOS and part of Apple's ecosystem?" The answer for most people is probably NO. This is why we should be circumspect about the relati…

Yes, Apple does offer more choices of MacBook now. But the trouble is, they all have the same horrible keyboard with hardly any travel.

What's really weird is that Apple keeps promoting their new butterfly keyboards as '4 times more stable' than the older versions. Yet, in all my years of using MacBooks - and working with other MacBook users - I have never once heard anyone complai…
