I can see an iPad Air / iPad Pro being laptop replacement one day. Imagine this: take the iPad with you wherever you go. Sit down at a desk, plug it into a dock and you get dual screen, keyboard and mouse. For that, the storage needs to get bigger a…

Coming from a group that invented names such as USB 3.1 Gen 2, I sorta expect their branding to be "40Gbps Unidirectional 24A x 5W Gen 5 Revision 4" /s

Look like a good fit for my use case. I need a new machine for Lightroom and some coding. I'm going to slap a hub on it (because the Dongle Life is real) so 2 Thunderbolt ports doesn't really hamper it much. $1899 for 16GB RAM + 512GB SSD is pretty …

I really want to know what such a fast storage is useful for. It hugely impresses on the benchmarks, but what kind of workload does it actually improve. (Legitimate question. Not trolling).

Welcome to the MacHub Pro, a laptop that cannot connect to anything. The decision to include only USB-C ports is a huge mistake as there's virtually nothing that you can plug into them. Buying an Apple laptop these days means bunch of dongles and ad…

I use a Mac Mini as my main computing machine. I'm an advanced user and would like to see the following feature: (1) Upgradable RAM & SSD. Apple can make a Mac-not-so-Mini (or call it just a Mac!) to accommodate that (2) More ports on the fron…

I'm a developer. I want a machine with: 1. Quad core i7 for fast code compilation 2. Tons of (preferably upgradable) memory to run all these virtual machines for test 3. SSD storage (512GB) that I can upgrade myself or at least have reasonable OEM …

Whereas laptop specs are confined by form factor restrictions, desktops are defined by high performance processors, large screens, ample storage and "a greater variety of I/O." Show us you meant what you said, Tim. The iMac is a bunch of mobile com…

Everyone probably missed this, including Siri itself: September is the 7th month of the old Roman calendar. Its name derives from "septem" which is Latin for seven. The Roman calendar has only 10 months, the first of which is called Martius. (The…

In Apple's report, "China" means "greater China" which includes mainland China, Taiwan and Hong Kong. During the earning call, Cook says that Mainland China was down only 11%, the primary weakness came from HK. It's surprising how a territory of 7M …

I don't really understand these changes. if I want a new 16GB iPhone 6s today, how much do I have to pay upfront? I never had the illusion that the $500 discount was "free". It's that I will pay it over the next 24 months. So with the new plan, how …

slprescott said: Is there any site that tracks analysts' forecasts, and then compares them to (later) actual results? TipRanks give a score between 0 - 100 to all of an analyst's forecasts, not just Apple. Daryanani got a 50% score on th…

My counterpoints to the article: 1. Since when have Gene Munster been right? He was the one calling for $1000 when Apple was trading at $700 (pre-split). It went down 50% before eventually recovered. At the aame time that we riducule Katy Huberty …
