Excellent. Surveys do show the myth that Alexa "skills' are a useful advantage. Most people haven't used even a single one, and the vast, vast majority of users of smart speakers use them to play music/podcasts, set timers, do basic home automatio…

chasm said: I keep all of my cards in little paper sleeves the bank gives me. Doesn't eliminate wear, but certainly helps avoid obvious wear. That said, Apple probably should re-think the coating on this -- people are going to keep it in thei…

wonkothesane said: I am wondering exactly what the challenge was where Apple decided to pull out. Three devices, instead of two. Different charge rates, etc. This device doesn't take on those challenges. We also don't know about what …

This article skims over a key fact that many readers will miss-- Each of these apps can still use always on location tracking! All Apple did was to wisely eliminate it as a checkbox choice, FOR EVERY APP. Instead, an app will have to make an expl…

I see you all fell for the fake news. Apple doesn't release its sales figures, nor do the other cell phone makers, so all of you are reacting to this fake news article which falsely implies that there are actual figures. No one but Apple knows if th…

dysamoria said: Apple wants to further eliminate meaning behind the term “pro”? So tired of this nonsense. Relax. You're getting angry by letting an unsubstantiated rumor ruin your day. Whatever it is called, it will be the latest evol…

This article needs to be rewritten. It quotes multiple unsourced, unsubstantiated rumors as facts. For example, it states as fact that there were "over a thousand employees," but links to an article quoting another article that mentioned an unsour…

mknelson said: "The company is also threatening to cut off access for people with jailbroken devices." Presumably they're worried about malware? "The highest return rate, 3%, applies only to purchases directly from Apple…" That could be se…

People are way over analyzing this. It's simple from both perspectives. Apple had the upper hand with Qualcomm, but once they realized that Intel wasn't going to have the 5G modem ready in time for 2020, they had no choice but to use Qualcomm mo…
