The problem with the port, as I see it, is that it's taken by either a regular cover, or a Smart Cover, roughly 100% of the times, rendering the port inaccessible for anything else. So any other use than keyboards and cases is hard to imagine the pr…

Full document with different angles and solutions.

I think if they're doing the faceID thing, they'll need really high quality sensors and cameras on the front to reach the level of security they need. So I'm not surprised there. They also need great low light performance on the front facing camera,…

The only thing I'm dreading with a move to OLED is the move back to flickering screens. What's the refresh rate of the top of the line OLED screens today? And what's the blackout time? The LCD's that Apple is using has this non flickering solid ligh…

I've always thought Apple has been waiting for hevc/ h.265 to mature before launching 4k content. Perhaps this is now actually the case? Like when High Sierra launches, and h.265 is rolling out, we might see Apple using the increased efficiency to d…

I'm excited to see Apple include AR shades in their patent registration, and also how tiny the illustrator is envisioning the glasses.

So no entry level lightweight "sports iPod" anymore? The expensive Apple Watch with Bluetooth headphones it is for runners?

I think the app presentation layout is better now. Finally the long nagging sideways-fullscreen-images is gone too. *shrug* The only thing I was really interested to see though is if the search functionality is updated. It's soooo hard to find a use…

I think Touch ID is working so well because the technology always operates under such controlled circumstances. The only factors that can mess it up is dirt or moist or if you get a finger cut. You don't even need light, you can unlock in your pocke…

No Touch ID on the back. The worst idea. Inductive magnetic snap-on port, ok though. Touch ID is great cuz it works without concealing your face. Works in the dark etc. Face recognition is cool, but is it as safe? does it get it right even though yo…

Sega Megadrive nostalgist here. Love many of the games. But there is something very wrong here.. Phantasy Star 2, at the time a fairly large game, 786kb for the ROM = 120MB on the iPhone. Altered Beast, at the time a pretty mediocre arcade port, 52…

This is sick, that high quality video latency can even get this low over the internet.. I'm wondering what the backend looks like. Like if there's an equal amount of gaming PC's that there are users, packed in a LAN party server room, lol.. Or if it…

Looking lovely. I kept waiting for Craig's anti drone eagle to strike 🤣

It'd be great if the news app went region free...

I'm incredibly curious of the h.265 HEVC performance. Especially the encoder. I guess the encoder is not part of this update, but something for the future versions of Compressor and Final Cut Pro? Any insight would be great.

I think this was a lovely chat. Great to see mr Forstall up there, sharing a bit of his own personality, and story. I always thought it such a shame that he was squeezed out. I guess there's a lot we don't know about what went on behind the scenes.

Great stuff! Max, my favourite camera reviewer, also my favourite Mac reviewer. Thorough, to the point, precise. 👌🏼
