I ditched my Backbone One controller (pictured in the article) for the superior GameSir G8 Galileo - but it is USB-C only.

Microsoft has its own walled garden in the Xbox marketplace. It charges a similar fee to game developers that Apple's App Store does. The company has repeatedly said this is okay because Xbox hardware is sold as a loss-leader. However, there is no …

I like Phil Spencer, and Xbox/Game Pass, but it's a tricky bit of doublespeak to argue that Apple should open up their walled-garden game platform and Microsoft should not. Microsoft should be happy that being declared a gatekeeper doesn't affect X…

Personally I wish Apple would stop inserting advertisements into iOS. I remember how disgusted I was the first time iTunes/Music pushed an ad onto my lock screen, and the first time that I ran into an advertisement in the Settings app. It felt like …

The SNES color scheme is cool but I wouldn't mind other color options as well - which should be coming at least in terms of hot-swappable faceplates. And Sony, if you are listening, consider dropping Backbone and working with GameSir on a symmetric/…

The GameSir G8 Galileo really is a great controller, and I'm glad to see it featured on AppleInsider! It fixes my primary annoyances with the Backbone One: Works without removing Apple's MagSafe iPhone case (!)Full-sized grips for a less hand-crampi…

4K is fine, but it isn't native RetinaFor 27" Mac monitors, 5K is a lot better than 4K, since it's what macOS was designed to use on the 27" Retina 5K iMac. I've been using a 5K 27" monitor since 2016 and I never want to go back to 4K in that form f…

Locking Instagram inside the Facebook App Store might have some benefits. Perhaps alternate app stores will be more successful on iOS than they have been on Android.

IIRC Nintendo started the trend of skipping E3 and it was followed by Sony and Microsoft. The big 3 console vendors skipping E3 basically killed it. It's not clear whether in-person events will continue to be a thing for Sony and Microsoft in the U…

Hope you are recovering well Dan! Always enjoy your opinion(ated) pieces.

nubus said: No comments for a day on this article. Clearly iPhone 15 is uninspired. The main feature being "USB C"... is EU driving innovation in Cupertino? Most of the rest is regurgitated from iPhone 14 Pro. Processor (the slightest update on…

Pro Max is better with full-speed USB 3 support, always-on display, improved camera sensor and telephoto module, etc. – it's just really expensive. Also USB C and a large battery in the Pro Max seems to have made the it noticeably thicker and heavi…

Just wanted to add my wishes for recovery as well, and to note that I've always enjoyed your thoughtful and usually highly opinionated articles and Apple advocacy on AppleInsider!!

The Ultrafine 5K monitor was announced at $1299 but originally went on sale in late 2016 at a promotional price of $974, which made it a pretty decent value. Even more so considering it took Apple until 2022 to produce a comparable 5K monitor - at …

Apple has basically driven a stake into the heart of Windows games running on macOS. I don't think they have any interest in it. And why should they? It doesn't make much money for Apple compared to iOS games, and the user experience of playing slow…
