AppleInsider's writer begins with the premise that the weaknesses in the experience of using the Apple TV set-top box and the Apple TV app are solvable by Apple if only they gave this platform more attention. Then he goes on to disprove his own prem…

As an Apple TV+ subscriber and a huge "Breaking Bad" and "Better Call Saul" fan, this is great news. I know that Gilligan has already said he's taking a break from the "Breaking Bad" universe, but any series that he creates is likely to be on my wat…

Every time an Apple Store theft makes the news, one thought occurs: Can't Apple simply remotely disable any stolen product that is capable of broadcasting its own identity via Bluetooth, WiFi, and/or the FindMy network? One would think that Apple co…

With the upcoming arrival of Stage Manager in macOS Ventura, I'm living in fear that Apple will discontinue the Spaces feature — the virtual desktop feature first introduced, I think, with Mac OS X 10.5 in 2007. Using a total of four real displays o…

Apple is definitely not too late to market. As the article and other commenters said, Apple was "late" to music players, smartphones, and wearables — but nobody today can accurately claim that the iPod, iPhone, AirPods, and Apple Watch product lines…

In years past, I could understand Apple choosing to omit the Mac mini from this promotion — or at least the lower-cost models of the mini. But why are they omitting the Mac Studio this time around? Some of us already have a Mac laptop and would have…

Before the 12-inch MacBook from 2015 through 2019, Apple did also sell an 11-inch MacBook Air from 2010 through 2016 … so that's almost a decade of offering a size smaller than 13.x inches. I think a 15-inch MacBook Air would be a perfect addition …

I just want to take a moment to lament the passing of the tapered thickness (thinness) that has, until now, always been associated with the MacBook Air name. I can't argue with Apple's decision to reimagine the M2 MacBook Air as a uniform 0.44-inch…

This has been one of my favorite shows since its beginning — and given that there are several other Apple TV+ shows that I also enjoy ("Severance," "The Morning Show," "Dickinson," "See," and "Ted Lasso" all come to mind), "For All Mankind"'s qualit…

At any rate, I will test this when my new Apple Studio Display arrives (it's due some time in the next week). I will report back here (in case anyone's still reading by then) whether or not it's possible to daisy-chain a non-Retina-quality deskt…

Apple list the USB-C ports on the Studio Display for up to 10Gb/s *, which should be enough bandwidth for a 4k display at 60Hz. Whether Apple allow passthrough of a display signal to another monitor I don't know. I suspect not, and that each monito…

Andrew, you wrote: "Because of Thunderbolt data limitations, it isn't possible to daisy chain two 5K studio displays." Do you know if it's possible to daisy-chain a lower-resolution third-party monitor to a USB-C port on the new Apple Studio Display…

This carrying case for the Mac Studio proves that all that is old eventually becomes new again. I had a carrying case for my Macintosh 128K and then Macintosh Plus from 1984 until about 1988, and I did regularly carry it around. Apple even advertise…

I think it would be great for Apple to partner with one or more existing car companies to design the driver-facing software interfaces and possibly even their dashboard's physical controls. But if Apple ever actually builds and markets an entire car…
