I wonder if the brain trusts at Apple remember the story of the Golden Goose? All their top models have sky high prices that are really absurb for the general public. The estimates of their cost structures from the bills of material suggest a nea…

I plugged in gigabit ethernet to my M4 11" iPad. We also have gigabit internet service. I was home from a long trip so there was a large number of APP updates to download and install. I think the M4 was nearly twice as fast as the M2 I gave to my so…

Old saying: "The proof is in the pudding". The satellite company, with Apple's financing, has to launch many (number not disclosed) new satellites to give good coverage just within the US proper let alone Alaska, Hawaii, Mexico or Canada or even …

Just sent my 11" iPad Pro M2 2TB cellular to my son. He is thrilled. I am enjoying my new 11" iPad Pro M4 2TB cellular. Both had/have the appropriate Apple keyboard. I thought there would be a lead time for my new 11" iPad Pro but it was a stock…

I have a M1 Max 14" MBPro (64GB & 4TB SSD) and a M1 Ultra MacStudio (128GB & 8TB SSD). Apple depreciated the MacStudio nearly 75% in one year for a trade in value. Not quite as bad for the laptop. Both are able to run the latest MacOS. Both …

It has been years since I went to a movie theater. The last one was a Cinema MAX theater for the likes of Avatar. But to be fair, I also don't watch many movies at home either. Series yes, movies no.

I think the price for the fully configured M3 11" iPad Pro with Magic Keyboard will be way over $2500 with Apple Care and sales tax. The current M2 11" prices out to $2,228.00 with everything. In other words, probably more expensive than the 13" M3…

On paper, FDIC sounds good. But it would be a long time after a failure before any folks would get reimbursed and during that time no interest is being paid. I use the Apple /GS savings account to catch the daily Apple Card cash back as it is a hig…

My family was an automotive specialty products company for many years. The gestation of the cars in the 50s and 60s was measured in years and improvements were hard fought between marketing and engineers. The basics are simple to talk about and even…

Monopoly typically implies over 50% market share. So 20% is less than 50%. The difference is that Apple gets a larger share of profits associated with the premium cellphones as they do not make the cheaper models.

The top custom Marantz amplifiers are made by hand in a small shop in Japan. We have two of their Cinema 40 models and they are impressive.

I prefer my two flat 27" Studio Displays because if one dies, the other continues. These huge curved screens are great unless it quits. As these curved displays are typically the sole display, the user is out of luck unless there is a battle spare i…

Doubt Apple can legally disable a feature in a "sold" item. They can not include that feature in the new ones coming off the line. That complies with what I can read.

It reads if the device is currently under extended warranty, then they can service it. The magic phrase is under a current extended warranty.

Seems like they are into illegal impersonations of other people to gain access for their product. They are currently spoofing on their Macs that they are many different Apple customers. What a security nightmare. So if they get ahold of a real…

It has been great to be able to move my stainless steel Milanese Loop watch band onto the successive generations since S3 days including my Ultra and now Ultra 2. That might be the last time to be able reuse my stainless steel band on a new iWatch s…

Since Apple watches sell more units than any other brand, I think the product will continue. If the poster above disliked Apple Watches after purchasing them many times, why did that person buy another one? No mental logic to that story.

Long haul flights have provided top notch headsets (for airlines) in first class for years, Lower classes get the equivalent of wired ear buds that marginally get sound to your ears. Both seem to now use the 3.5 sound plug on most of the newer plane…

If it aint broke, then don't fix it

The good news for the NAY sayers is that they do not have to buy a M3 iMac. Take your marbles to another sand pile. Apple will not miss your departure. The iMac line is not a major player for many folks, but it is an excellent low cost alternative…
