Perhaps another "just a chip" marginal update will be presented tomorrow. No wonder there is no big event. These "updates" could have been done with a few sentence E-Mail.

The year after spending close to $7,500 on a fully speced M1 Ultra Mac Studio (128GB ram 8TB SSD), the Apple trade in value was $1,250 for the same spec M2 Ultra Mac Studio. Needless to say, I still have the M1 version. Not sure I would even conside…

Contemplating a M4 Max 16" MacBook Pro with an 8TB SSD in same case design as my M1 MBPro Max. I have a stand up base that would allow said laptop to host a 27" Studio Display in my office or be a desktop device in my Airstream.

A backlit full size keyboard would open my wallet

Remember the initial promise of cable TV that we had to pay for? No advertising since you were paying for the service. Same with satellite radio. The ratio of add time to desired program is now 50 - 50 on most channels.

Have used Logitech mice for decades. Have a couple of Apple mice for emergency starting. Otherwise, they reside in a file drawer. Would really appreciate a back lighted keyboard....

Only the Apple iPhone 16 series is now supporting WiFi 7. I would expect that few homes have moved to WiFi 6 let alone WiFi 6E. Even fewer would be moved to WiFi 7 at home. So WiFi 6E should be around for quite awhile.

Just ordered the v7 Mini in Starlight, 512GB and cellular to replace my v6 Mini, 256GB and Cellular and will reuse my orange cover. I have WiFi 6E at home so that will be nice to have on the new Mini plus the USB-C speed bump will be great for back…

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…
