dijital said: Who keeps asking Apple for an even thinner iPhone with worse battery life? I’ve never met anyone with those requirements. 100%. I want a SMALLER phone, aka the mini. A little fatter so it lasts a couple of days would be per…

Does the phone app replace the FaceTime app? Because FaceTime was very capable of answering phone calls for quite some time now. OK, reading more into it, the phone app is far more than just answering calls. That feature has existed for a long ti…

Apple drops support for older machines not necessarily for technical reasons, but for accounting reasons. When Apple decided to give out OS updates for free, they had to account for the future development cost of sale of the machine. This is for a…

The danger of building a workflow on subscription or cloud software is that the vendor can decide to jack prices or change the product at any time. You're no longer in control financially, and with cloud service, not even in charge of upgrade timing…

eightzero said: I'm all AI'ed and voice assistantsed out. When Apple said the iPhone 16 was "built for AI" I took that as a warning, not a feature. I just want an off switch, m'kay? My opinion only. YMMV. If you enjoy this stuff, great. I'm …

Bigger screens. Yuck. I want an iPhone mini with a USB-C port. I want a simplified interface for apps to fit on a small screen, not an app designed for a large screen scrunched down to a tiny size. The original iPhone really had a lot going for it…

Pema said: I concur with the two above posters re: NordVPN. The product often comes out in the top five of recommended VPNs. That said it just did not work for me. It was easy to set up and connect but with the exception that every site that …

From an IT standpoint, Teams has an advantage that it's simply integrated within the Microsoft 365 platform. User and access management then is handled in one place. Add Zoom, now you have more accounts and logins to deal with. Unfortunately,…

It's amazing how bad phones are ergonomically. The size and shape make them relatively difficult to hold naturally. Honestly, the original or maybe the rounded back of the 3G were far superior, but even then, the perfectly smooth edges makes them e…

The worst thing about the iMac is the external power supply. Why couldn't that be built inside? It would make life so much easier. But, if they keep the power brick, it would be awesome if they would have included a couple of USB ports on it. …

Do all of the other companies doing business in Cupertino get a third of the sales tax charged given back to them?? That seems kind of insane.

You can also use disk utility to create a bootable clone of your current system. I generally will do that prior to a major OS install so I have an easy fallback plan to get back to exactly where I was before the upgrade. I find that much more reli…

A crappy thing about homekit is Apple doesn't give you an easy way to see where data is going. You just have to trust it. I get it from the 'make it easy to use' side of things, but it really sucks from a troubleshooting standpoint. It would be awe…

My last house I had pretty much fully automated using Insteon on a Mac. It was awesome. I could program every light switch and thermostat to do what I wanted. I could control groups of lights at a time, set dimming curves, and anything you could i…

BeDifferent said: They only need to slap the Matter version number under the Matter logo. Basically every other spec has multiple versions, like Thunderbolt. USB, WiFi, Bluetooth, HDMI, etc. For example, Apple doesn't yet support Matter v…
