I recently needed noise-cancelling headphones with long battery life for editing video projects in my office, and I very much prefer buying an Apple product where one exists for a given need. As Beats is an Apple brand and reviews for the Beats Stud…

Minor errors in your story: "Free as a Bird" was released in 1995, not 1985, and "Real Love" was released in 1996, not 1988. I have good memories of the release of those songs because I worked in radio at the time … and as a young adult then, I neve…

Assuming Disney would willingly sell, I'm in favor of Apple buying ESPN under two conditions: 1. I don't want the monthly cost of Apple TV+ to automatically increase by $10 or $15 for all subscribers regardless of whether they watch sports. ESPN's …

Intel's goals kicked off in 2012, and, since then, the NUC has been a stable, if not super popular, option. I changed careers nearly a decade ago after more than two decades in information technology, mostly doing end-user support of Windows PCs (th…

tenthousandthings said: The part of this story that catches my eye is “Apple is working on multiple new monitors” — that is the lede, IMHO. The promise of Mac Studio and the enhanced Mac mini is they give Apple incentive to provide more choic…

Eric_WVGG said: I was just lamenting that the Studio Display doesn’t work as a HomeKit hub… I was going to fire off a Feedback suggestion, when I realized that there’s no Wi-Fi in there. Pity for all that A13 power to mostly go to waste. Wha…

Like live theater, there's always something magic and electric about live presentations when things go well and the audience reacts with delight, surprise, and approval. Apple has had plenty of famous live demos — and a handful of infamous ones, too…

It's no surprise, really, that Mac models from 2017 or earlier aren't on this list. That's how it goes with technology. There are two looming questions for which it will be years before we have answers: - The first Apple silicon-based models arrive…

Here's more to think about: For the purposes of this discussion, forget that the 13-inch M1 MacBook Air is still presently on the market for $999. With the 13-inch M2 MacBook Air now at $1,099 and the 15-inch M2 MacBook Air at $1,299, does anyone th…

nubus said: Interesting to see Apple reducing the MBA 13 price by 8% in US (13.3% in EU / Euro). This indicates that demand was too soft and that currency rates are going to change. Although I can't speak to currency rates, I respectfully …

JimmyG said: Re: "Mac 14,13 and Mac 14,14"... I'm thinking more along the lines of the long-overdue iMac and iMac Pro pro models, one to replace the 27" and another to address the previously-rumoured 32" model, respectively. M2 Max- &am…

I'm pleasantly surprised — astonished, really — that watchOS 10 will run on my Apple Watch Series 4, which came out nearly five years ago in September 2018. It's the oldest Watch model that will be supported (according to https://www.apple.com/watch…

In the days before the announcement, I heard podcast pundits speculate that it might have been priced anywhere from $1500 to $1800. But at a starting price of just $1,299 (and with the 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pros at significantly higher price point…

On May 29, 2023, Costco began a sale on the M1 Max-based Mac Studio (the base processor model with 32 GB memory and 512 GB storage), selling it for $1,499.99, or $500 below Apple's price. Then the rumors started spinning up that WWDC might indeed br…

My first thought for the FTC is, "Yeah, good luck with getting Facebook to truly care about privacy." The irony here is that market forces is already taking care of what the FTC probably can't in that the number of people under age 30 using Facebook…

Lila, it's a nice profile of the store, but your language could use some tweaking. You call this Apple Store a "temple" in the headline, implying that this is a location we should revere. But in your first sentence and in two other places, you descr…

In your review, you wrote, "However, with its status as a full-sized keyboard with a numeric keypad, it's awkward to transport in a laptop bag alongside a MacBook, barely fitting even in our largest laptop bag." Although not technically incorrect, I…
