It's been said many times before, Apple can't influence policy or improve the conditions for the people of China/UAE/etc by being banned. Without iMessage/FaceTime/etc, the people of these regions have minimal options to communicate freely without i…

I'll happily eat my hat on this one. But I don't think we're going to see Apple Frames in the way that Kuo imagines. I.E. Snap Inc one-size-fits-all frames. I have very little confidence in Kuo's reports and sourcing, the reports only bear accuracy …

Altogether it sounds like a good idea that will provide clarity to businesses while providing a consistent framework for delivering tax where it “belongs”. While the discussion is often framed as tax avoidance, the core problem seems to be not wha…

Considering the types of bugs that pop-up in Adobe software these are nothing. Other than random crashes on the Save dialogue (arguably the worst place to have a bug) in the last year they've even had video accelerator bugs that leave black marks a…

A thin phone isn't just for the aesthetic, there are numerous technical advantages to the thin design of smartphones in general. It's lighter: Other than being easier to handle, a lighter weight makes the glass less likely to break if dropped and e…

I doubt it's a programming issue, since everything is already there in terms of software. Judging from the current performance of Documents in the Cloud and iCloud Photo Library, I'd guess that Apple want the serving side of it be robust enough bef…

Normally I'd say that Apple shouldn't enter this space because it is well serviced. However iOS 13's new and anonymous device finding feature will provide a significantly more robust network of devices in order to track down missing devices, additio…

This sounded far more dire than the reality, which is actually a really great thing for 3rd parties. So rather than Apple changing how the information is accessed, they're actually providing a standard way to access the data that won't break every t…

Some may carp about the fact that these titans could not have accomplished what they did without the scientists and inventors who made the technology they used possible. There is a very simple response to people who say that and this is: So…

I always felt like they tried to do too much with 3D touch. After having it on my phone for years, I simply could never get it to peek and pop how I wanted it to. I much prefer the Apple Watch's version, where it simply brings up the context menu im…

Re: Sherlocking. I think we'd be better to remind ourselves that Apple don't directly earn income from OS updates. Calling this Sherlocking is tentative at best. iOS and macOS have already included quite a lot of screen sharing/mirroring functional…

It seems to be less about actively selecting (say from a panel in settings), and rather the Siri AI choosing the right app for the contact based on prior interactions, thus no longer needing to specify "using Whatsapp" or similar. It seems the devel…

This reminds me of their AA-Cell powered bluetooth keyboards and trackpads. The aluminium housing included a led light which was mounted behind a small array of microscopic holes. This allowed light to pass through when the led was on, but was other…

In theory only the US customers would need to have the US-assembled model to minimise the costs incurred by tariffs. So it's fair to say that the tariff costs won't be a very high cost to Apple for this particular product. It is wholly naive to bel…

It's a difficult case to win, not because it's a trademark fight, but because it's based on a scenario that has far simpler explanations.

About portrait mode - I hate it. It's like driving with horse blinkers on. I'm sure it saves a lot in rendering though. Unfortunately it's not without precedent, MK now uses this mode for multi-player mode on console. (I hate it there too.) I would…
