I am deeply, deeply uncomfortable with Apple getting into BNPL lending. It's a murky market and it will only do Apple's brand harm.

Mike Wuerthele said: Yes, they did. 30-pin to micro USB. It wasn't forever, though. It was available to purchase but it was never included in the box. The EU's new rules are a win for Apple. They can move to USB-C (something I'm sure was al…

hexclock said: It’s an awful lot of money for unskilled labor, but still, someone will complain that it’s not enough. Tim Cook earned $260 million in 2020. So, even with the pay increase, that's still well over five thousands times more …

I bought the Apple Studio Display expecting the webcam to be absolutely terrible, as per all of the reviews. However, I've found that it's actually a significant upgrade on the standalone Logitech webcam that it has replaced. Maybe it's not iPad qua…
