PLEASE! No external power supply required. It suck on the iMac, and would suck way more on the mini. The old mini had a stupid external brick, and they made it awesome with the current design. The size is great because you can put a pair of them …

The question is, how many of these youtubers bought AppleCare on the device and now file a fraudulent claim of "accidental" damage?

It was nice that for a hot minute Apple used the same accessories for iPad air and iPad pro so you could upgrade and NOT have to buy all new. Guess that wasn't profitable enough for them.

It's still full of awkward design choices. It could have been made compatible with iPad air accessories instead of its own crap keyboard, only old pencil support, etc. At $349 it replaces the entry level iPad, so there's that. It still pretty much …

retrogusto said: The current iPad Air is kind of awkward in the lineup, given that the $599 base model only has 64gb of storage (which probably isn’t enough for most people, especially at that price), and the next level up only costs $50 less…

Apple doesn't allow 3rd party apps to access SMS messages for good reason. SMS is regularly used for 2 factor authentication. If apps could access SMS, rogue apps could then send those messages off to other servers. Not cool. Messages does a relati…

I get that people WANT VPNs to get around restrictions, but isn't that pretty similar to having an app that lets you pirate videos? You don't want to follow the rules and pay what's needed where it's needed, so who cares about the TOS that you agre…

Since they are committed to the stupid power brick, it would have made sense to add a couple USB or thunderbolt ports there as well, tidying up the desk workspace. Hell, even better would be to move all of the brains into the brick and calling it a …

I really miss the simplicity of a STATIC timeline. Often times I want to edit out of order, but know exactly where in the time I need clips to go. Final Cut trying to jam stuff together is completely annoying! I miss the old days.

I wish Apple would offer reasonably priced standalone displays for the Mac Mini. Since the move to a power brick for the iMac, they might as well just put the whole computer in the brick (ala mac mini) and a separate display. The mac mini is an AW…

Apple used to have Powerbooks with built in light based networking, and it operated at the same speed as wired LocalTalk, a whopping 230.4kbps. The next iteration brought IrDA which was an industry standard that allowed communication to other device…
