What? Of course you did. I walked into an Apple store in 2007 and bought an iPhone (8gb) and I never had a cell contract. This was in the US of course -- I believe the only market with iPhones at that time. In any case no one was spending $1000 …

Will Apple get into the adaptive sync game on external monitors at long last in 2023?

Interesting, my Belkin Duo 2-in-1 magsafe charger doesn't show any firmware version when connected.

I just picked up a used ipad mini 5 w/ cellular and I have to say the eSIM experience remains terrible. The ipad was alternately acting like it was unlocked (it was) and locked to AT&T (it wasn't), and there's no useful way to troubleshoot the …

So do you think Apple will offer a small form-factor fitness tracker / watch with 5-day battery life by 2025? I would be sooo happy to ditch fitbit but the Apple Watch does not currently compete in this segment.

iPhone 13 mini is still available and starts at $599 (128GB). Certainly even cheaper on the used or refurbished markets.

My partner's iphone 6s is still in daily operation because the headphone jack IS a killer feature. I have never owned a pair if lightning-connected headphones. I have however owned quite a number of lightning to headphone jack dongles of various q…

There are going to be billions of users who are reachable via RCS but not by Apple iMessage. Given the state of SMS that seems like a pretty compelling reason to support RCS in addition to imessage (and SMS).

Even ignoring configurability, it's striking how much more RAM the 2019 Mac Pro allows vs. the Mac Studio. It seems unlikely to me that Apple will scale their "unified" memory up to those capacities on any Apple Silicon chip. I bet when the Apple …
-
One thing that strikes me, perhaps cynically, is that if your workload is compute-heavy and at all amenable to distributed computing, it makes more sense to buy two M1 Max Mac Studios than to buy one with an M1 Ultra. There is zero price advantage …

-
It does seem like a lot of money for a 60Hz display with no gsync/freesync (and so much for ProMotion). It may be a great display but if it can't take the place of a PC gaming monitor it won't end up on my desk.

Free from the need to support a modular GPU there's not much need for getting very many watts of power in and out of your workstation, so Apple can repeat all the mistakes of the 2013 Mac Pro.

I have been using the 2019 MBP 16" for the past 6 months and it is by far the ugliest laptop I have ever owned. Not the MBP itself necessarily, which is already way too heavy on its own, but the chunky Thunderbolt dock from Kensington, which beside…

So the M1 Max, announced yesterday, deployed in a laptop, has floating-point compute performance (but not any other metric) comparable to a 3 year old nvidia chipset or a 4 year old AMD chipset. Somehow I don't think this comparison is going to be …
