When I first heard about Apple getting a cut from sales outside of the AppStore I thought it was wrong and would come back to bite Apple in the ***. 30% to offset the cost of running the store was fine. But once someone loads the app I never agreed …

I found the MagSafe case interesting. Integrated MagSafe was dropped from the 16e. A good number of people online have argued that wasn’t a big deal because you can get the same feature by using a MagSafe case. I wonder if Apple might drop integrate…

Eliminating Qualcomm modems will save Apple billions annually, as Apple paid around $23 per modem and $8 in patent fees per deviceSo, should we expect a major price drop this fall? I’m not holding my breath. I expect them to bump the 17 prices up by…

And I assure you, Apple isn't going to let you disable the feature after a while, That’s the point where I’m outta the Apple Ecosystem.

For Mac users, the malware appears as a legitimate Google Chrome or Safari update. That they are including Safari is disturbing.

Honestly I had to check to make sure I hadn’t written this. I started with a 5c, went to an SE, and then an 11. The difference is that I like the 11, I still have it. But the rest of the points, yes I am 100% there. This isn’t an inexpensive iPhon…

So this was a $170 jump from the SE, and many people are commenting how that kind of bunches up the pricing structure. My big fear is that Apple will bump the 17 line up by a comparable amount this fall.

No MagSafe, a poorer camera, and a disturbingly high price, for starters. If they were aiming at this iPhone 11 owner, they missed badly.

They are using AI to justify the price bump. As I have no interest in AI that means that it’s a decent iPhone for $599 (more in Canada). I’ll have to mull over if it’s worth it. EDIT: Here in Canada it starts at $899. Nope, it’s not worth it. The…

The biggest problem was that they did model it off of the Communicator badge in Star Trek: The Next Generation. That worked very well as an expository plot device. Riker taps communicator, “Enterprise, we just encountered X, Y, and Z, and we’re goin…

I’ve seen renders of what this looks like from the side. It’s worse. Not only is there a big awkward block sticking out, but the camera lenses are still proud of the surface of the block making them even more likely to get damaged. I seriously doubt…

…looks almost tolerable I can’t agree. To me, and it’s only my opinion, that’s hideous. That may be one of the ugliest phones I have ever seen.

Weren’t we hearing the same thing about 6 months out about the 16? The 15? 14, 13, 12, …? I’ll believe it when I see it.

Apple’s not about delivering insanely great products anymore. They are about profit above all, and it’s showing.

I think the SE4 will sell very well, not because of Apple Intelligence though. I think it is a budget phone that will meet most people’s needs at a good price. Couple that with a good deal of economic uncertainty and fears about job security and suc…
