iFixit misunderstand how this mechanism works. When they push in the corner it lifts in the middle - but this is only because there is no trackpad attached. When the trackpad is assembled it cannot lift in the middle, what will happen is that the …

Unfortunately, companies like Apple are often unlikely to hire people with the deep hands-on experience making stuff, even if they can demonstrate talent in bringing products to market because many of these people do not necessarily have the enginee…

Meanwhile the German officials tasked with implementing EU contact tracing are complaining that whilst they will use Apple and Google API for expediency, it is too private and they want to have more data. Specifically, they don’t like that Apple an…

It’s all rather simple. This minor update exists for 1 reason. To give developers access to the LIDAR scanner ahead of WWDC and months ahead of the new iPhones. Then we have the Magic Keyboard and trackpad support because - if it’s ready, why wait…

Apple should create a web development platform. This would: 1) allow any iPad or Mac App to also be a web based app with minimum extra work. 2) allow designers to build websites with Swift and Swift UI 3) allow anyone to easily build and publish a …

The Apple demo fail was not a FaceID fail. The FaceID system worked correctly. The demo was flawed because it did not take into account the failed attempts that were registered by the person who’s job it was to polish the phone before the demo.

Of course if you count the ‘speakers’ on all the iPhones, iPad, Watches, Macs and Apple TV’s you find that Apple’s assistant is everywhere and with a much broader international and multi-lingual reach. Personally, we love HomePod. It sounds great a…

The fact is Wacom don’t ‘collect anonymized data’. The Wacom software collects and sends raw data to Google. Google processes it and lets Wacom see some of that data in an anonymized form. I’m more concerned about Google snooping on me than Wacom.

The reason why HomeKit has seen such slow adoption is because device manufacturers find if difficult to implement. A major reason HomeKit is hard to implement is because it has stringent security protocols. Many of the IOT devices currently availab…

These mockups are terribly executed. What a mess they made of the corners and notches!

You say “However, it's more expensive to make mmWave devices, and also it is going to take time for all areas of the country to receive it.” mmWave only works over a couple of hundred feet. Carriers such as T-Mobile have stated that they have no pl…

Unfortunately it is indoor use only.

“ To accomplish this, the toolkit requires the installation of a jailbreak known as "checkra1n," which uses vulnerabilities in the Apple bootrom.” I was under the impression that the checkm8 boot rom exploit required the user passcode. The exploit a…

If you compare the spec of the $5999 base model Mac Pro with the $4999 base model iMac Pro - the iMac Pro has 4 times the storage, a slightly faster GPU and a built in 5K display. From this point of view the iMac Pro is far better value and the Mac …

This is of course a product that is not available to non-US residents, so this guy probably has less first hand experience with it than the average US consumer. Almost all the innovation is in the user experience and especially the wallet app. You …

“More recently, an icon discovered in the beta of iOS 13.2 appears to show that noise-cancelling is coming to the AirPods.” The icon only shows a new design that may have a more air tight seal in the ear. It is a line of code in the beta that point…

“The filing suggests the control circuity could also determine when the iPhone holder is orienting it in a particular way relative to a nearby device” This is exactly what Apple demoed with the Airdrop feature. The system knows which device the iPh…

Kuo made bullish predictions after new iPhones went on sale last year, in fact he predicted what he called a “super cycle”. Then within about a month or so weeks he reversed his predictions and the super cycle never happened. I fully expect him to …

“Apple only enables 7.5W charging for solutions using fixed-frequency voltage regulation” Interesting. Voltage is regulated by rapid switching, you either change the frequency of the switching (pulse frequency modulation) of you keep the frequency …
