I figure that’s about 14.876 bolts of lightning. According to the Doc.

Of course this was in Utah. (I know our mountains very well.)

So... what good does this do when most iPhone owners have their phone in a case that has very poor thermal conductivity?

I work in music production, and I know exactly who is going to be buying this machine in my field. Those who run ProTools HDX systems are going to be all over this. External chassis’ for HDX cards over thunderbolt can be somewhat wonky. Having direc…

I think there are a number of factors here that explain the lack of action on the Mac Pro: 1. It's perhaps Apple's smallest slice of the pie... it's almost a rounding error in their financials. So it's not a high fiscal priority. 2. Continuing supp…

I guess the only remaining question I have is: will it play 4K videos from my photo library at 4K? As it stands right now with the most recently available Apple TV 4K, it will only play my own videos back in 1080p resolution. This seems to be an art…

+1 for Federighi... assuming he wants the job, which I’m unsure of.

I had been on the fence about getting a second one to use as a stereo pair. But once I learned that HomePod was being discontinued, I went to my local Best Buy and bought one the next day. I've seen Apple's track record with their discontinued produ…

I think about this for a living (audio engineer). Music that is properly Mastered for iTunes (which means encoded in 256kbps HE-AAC format from at least a 48 kHz/24-bit master), is, for 99.99% of listeners listening to 99.9% of recorded music - ind…

Apple had their shot to buy Tesla back in 2016, according to Elon Musk. He was offering the company for pennies on the dollar compared to Tesla's current valuation. Apple chose not to, yet have been poaching Tesla people ever since. Apple must have …

Also, I am an audio engineer, and deal with the audiophile mentality both within my profession and outside of it. To me, an audiophile is someone who loves their gear (especially its cost) as much or more than they love music, gets caught up in theo…

I’m not sure I understand the rationale for saying the Symfonisk is the “more quiet” speaker. When I say to my HomePods “Hey Siri, volume to 5%” they are pretty damned quiet and not the least bit “punchy” to my ears. I simply can’t understand how on…

Don't risk your Mac or its data just to try out the macOS Catalina beta “Stop that rhyming, and I mean it!”

The funny part is that in spite of all of the attention lavished on “pro” users, the latest, lowly iMac will still have the highest single-thread performance in the entire Mac line. For pro audio, where modern DAW workflows demand minimal I/O latenc…

The Mac Mini is an ideal machine for the pro audio industry, since audio software leans completely on the CPU and receives no practical benefit from the GPU. I work in that industry, and there was a lot of excitement at the introduction of the lates…

Looks like he used some lens attachments though... the iPhone’s lens is not that wide.
