Apple always plays a long game. COVID-19 has basically put us on hold collectively and that means Apple TV+ has had to go through a rather protracted rollout. Yet, as long as Apple keeps the cost where it is, it will find an audience and with a cata…

My M1 Mac Mini is working reasonably well with a magic keyboard and magic trackpad. I am finding that often there is a delay from when I input on the keyboard or trackpad to try to awaken the computer. It sometimes takes about five seconds or so for…

Delays caused by covid-19 have altered the planned trajectory but I think Apple is taking the right approach of focusing on original content. Apple TV+ has a better chance of succeeding as a compliment to whatever other streaming service consumers c…

Seems to me that you work with what you have and switch over when something better comes along. If we’re talking about launching a product in about four year, it’s reasonable to surmise that if a superior technology comes along in time, Apple can ea…

Battery technology is going to evolve so even if something better comes along, Apple, or any other automaker for that matter, is not locked in to any specific battery technology. It’s a matter of starting off in a viable state and taking it further …

The most important element is going to be battery technology. There are indications that breakthroughs on that front are imminent and it would be classic Apple to hold off on launching the product a couple of years in order to bring it to market spo…

I’ve had my M1 mini running for about a week now and have had no issues with a magic keyboard and magic trackpad. The Intel Mini before it also worked fine with the Bluetooth keyboard and trackpad. No difference. Just my experience. By the way Blue…

Seems to me the main reason that so many were interested in using an external GPU on the Intel Mini is the poor quality of the onboard integrated graphics. The M1 Mini ships with a dramatically better integrated GPU solution which, for many, means t…

No surprise that some are simply dismissive of what has been offered so far. It’s the way it is in today’s society. Dismissiveness is thought to suggest a higher standard but it isn’t necessarily so. Sometimes, if something with merit is dismissed w…

Having legacy titles is way overrated. Many already own a lot of those titles outright and/or have already watched them. What is of interest is fresh original content. It has to be kept in mind that if you acquire a deep back catalogue it means char…

The answer is don’t keep Netflix for all 12 months of the year. There is plenty of content but the number of quality shows I really intend to watch is limited enough that I can see it all while only carrying Netflix for four or five months of the ye…

Apple’s offering is entering the picture after services like Netflix and Amazon Prime have already spent years building up a base of users. By the time AppleTV+ has built up a decent library of original content, Disney+ will have built up a large gr…
