New iPhones don't need to be "compelling" to sell. Fact is, these things wear out after three or so years; Apple has a money printing machine making phones to replace those that wear out. I don't see any company having the scale and ecosystem to dis…

This departure won't have much effect. Key product decisions at Apple are made by large teams of people reviewing reams of data around new technologies being considered for deployment. At some point you accumulate so much wealth that it's not wort…

Coincidentally, I just bought 100 shares of Apple. I don't see anyone challenging their dominance in the phone or computer markets. Creating an ecosystem like Apple's would cost hundreds of billions of dollars; I don't see any company willing and …

Many of the iPhone's sub-systems like the displays and cameras are highly complex devices that would be very difficult for a third party to duplicate while preserving the quality Apple's customers expect. Some may also contain calibration data that …

You must be in the minority that found the touch bar useful, otherwise it wouldn't have gone away. I briefly used a Mac which had it and I never used it.

To anyone good enough to be hired by Apple: There are alternatives that will treat you better. And in regions that don't cost an arm and a leg to live in.

I could not care less how much carbon Apple or anyone else emits while engaging in productive activities. Climate alarmism is an anti-human, de-growth, neo-Marxist enterprise that needs to be called out for what it is.

I don't understand the virtue signaling around leather. The animals are slaughtered for their meat anyway, so what are we supposed to do--throw the skins away?
-
I don't know what was more cringe worthy: The fact that Apple has bought into the climate apocalypse, or the blatant tokenism evident in the crew of actors.

Can the USB-C port on the phone charge other devices?
-
People who still want leather, like me, are just going to buy non-Apple accessories. It's a stupid move that will sacrifice sales on the altar of virtue signaling. It's like their lightning and USB-C cables that are made out of recycled butterfly …

My iPhone 12 Pro Max is at 86%. One reason I buy the "Max" versions of iPhone is because the battery is considerably larger than the standard models. You don't have to charge it as often so the battery will accumulate fewer cycles over its life, p…
