auxio said: I could see many benefits to this for both Apple and device owners. Apple would have a lot more context information than Google does (e.g. what apps you were recently using, usage patterns, etc). Plus deeper integration with Si…

ITGUYINSD said: If Apple Search is anything like Apple Maps or Siri, NO THANKS! If someone can give me an alternative to Google Search that is AS GOOD, then I might switch, but I know, in fact, there isn't one. Someone above said DuckDuckGo…

CheeseFreeze said: Yet the price reduction is completely absent when buying an iPhone. Most vendors have raised the price significantly for 5G. The iPhone 12pro I just placed an order for costs the same as previous model. No increase in…

Placed my order for Pacific Blue 512GB 12 Pro. Wasn't trouble free experience though. Tried both the Apple Store app and the web page. Neither was available until about 6 minutes past the hour. Eventually used the Apple Store app. Transaction …

mjtomlin said: Who else thinks that with these upcoming ASi Macs we’re going to lose the ability to customize for performance? Today I can buy an iMac with an i5, i7, or i9, but only because Apple can just buy those from Intel. Will Macs move…

cloudguy said: Apple lacks their cloud prowess and infrastructure so they are trying to compete using hardware. No, that's not really true. iCloud has come a long way from Apple's humble cloud beginnings. It now actually has a pretty goo…

CheeseFreeze said: This is more a modest evolution and not a ‘major increase’. Which is fine. I’m more interested in GPU performance and GPU features (and have that compared to AMD/Nvidia), as well as improvements to the Neural Engine side o…

mykem said: The single core alone is almost twice that of the Snapdragon 865 (1,583 vs 870). The multi-core is a lot closer although you have to consider that the SD865 runs on 8 cores vs 6 on the Apple A14 (Apple has been using 6 cores on t…

SpamSandwich said: If they fail to act in a timely manner, they’ve wasted (possibly) hundreds of millions of dollars on an R&D effort with no payoff. That really depends on what their end game is. They've acknowledged that they…

lazereth said: Apple "could" adjust the guidelines for a two tiered setup i) Use Apple's tools, Maps, Purchase/InApp payment model etc - 30% or ii) Do it yourself and have no access to Apples "frameworks" and distribute it all yourself - 5%…

tht said: There's a really good shot that it will be fastest single core CPU machine, desktop or laptop, available anywhere, at least until the Apple Silicon Macs come out. Maybe Tiger Lake has a shot at it. This machine would have been fine …

cloudguy said: tmay said: cloudguy said: A14 is only hexacore. Strange. Was certain that it was going to be octa-core. Hexacore is good enough to replace the i3 and i5 in the Mac Mini and MacBook Air, but for MacBook Pro and iMa…

Looks like a good deal for me. I'm already paying for 2TB iCloud, Family Music and Apple Arcade now which costs $29.97 + tax. I'm getting Apple TV+ free until December. So, for 2 cents less, I'll get the same (including Apple TV+) with News and …

Mike Wuerthele said: It doesn't need to. Apple has its own chip designers, and TSMC is its foundry. At this point, Apple relies on ARM for nothing. I do expect the Apple Silicon design to migrate further away from ARM as time progresses, thou…
