I’ll give that one a miss. IP Pro Max is my sweet spot.

Foldable screen phones are rubbish. Everyone I know who bought one regretted it and moved back to a standard screen soon after. Just buy an iPhone max or iPad mini. Hope Apple aren’t actually wasting capital on this.

Shouldn’t we be asking ‘how useful/functional is current AI at the consumer level?’ As a pretty typical consumer (small business owner with a family and embedded in Apple’s product ecosystem), I’d like to know how far ahead really are Apple’s direct…

Been an Apple customer for 30 years and have considered an Apple Watch, but Garmin smartwatches IMO are superior for fitness, sport, health tracking and you also get battery life for weeks (or more) in almost all their watches. The depth of informat…

Disturbing how arrogant EU have become while also increasingly subject to foreign corporate influences like Meta. US government are also badly overstepping the mark under Trump and ruining their international relationships. Considering the US, UK an…

It was introduced in 2021 on the 13 Pro, not the 14 Pro. Wouldn’t be surprised if they update all iPhones to faster refresh rates etc, but give a slight advantage to the Pro range.

Surprised they’re selling any mediocre 16e’s at all for that price.

16e is a waste of money and step backwards IMO. I just bought an ‘as new’ condition iPhone 14 pro max 256gb with 100% battery life for the same price as a 16e. My wife has a standard size iPhone 14 pro 256gb and our daughter has her old red edition …

Far out. I’ll always struggle to understand how north Americans voted this psychopath into the White House, twice.

Tech has plateaued and I don’t have much interest in AI yet unless it can be meaningful to the planet. I still read books, work in the physical world, cook, garden, exercise outdoors, engage with humans and animals…
-
Nice to see the rumour mill already full steam when iPhone Air hasn’t even been released, haha. I’m just waiting for a meaningful improvement to the super practical 14pro - can’t envisage buying a iPhone fold or downgrading to a slim / e model.
-
Apple and others plateaued a few years ago and AI is still a bit meh for general use. Haven’t seen any leaps forward like they made with my trusty 14pro; all day battery life, 120mhz screen, 5g capable, 48 megapixel camera, tough enough for my work …

For a budget smartphone anyone in their right mind would be far far better off just buying a $100-200 android via your mobile network store/shop. Don’t see the point at all of paying good money for a hobbled and throttled iPhone with clueless AI and…

Folders are awful tech. No one will get my cash for one of those.

iCloud+ has been a good reliable service for me, and the cost is pretty decent. Most consumers would have forgotten/forgiven Apple for how clunky the original switchover was from iTunes and I don’t miss that lame sync to save data followed by anothe…

Standard iPhones can’t compete with Samsung, but the iPhone Pro models since the 13 have all been really nice devices. Nearly pulled trigger on a 16 pro max recently but going to hold out until there’s a big enough difference to my 14 Pro.

Great essay. Still remember the buzz when OSX was introduced. Mac OS 8 and 9 have an iconic aesthetic and had a certain nostalgia and charm even back then (great designers involved) but OSX was a massive improvement!
-
Not many people need more than an M3 MBA - brilliant PC and much more useable than an overpriced iPad Pro which ironically needs to become more Mac-like. If Apple do anything this year, I’d like to see a lighter IPP line, more gaming support on all …

Time capsule with airport was a pretty cool idea. Had one years ago, but now just do a manual Time Machine backup occasionally to a third party HD and have 2TB of iCloud. Our current Orbi threaded router is rock solid, lightning fast and came free f…

Home automation makes me gag. Would be happy if Apple could improve AppleTV 4K functionality with decent hardware and a smoother UI experience for music & TV, support for gaming and AI that is actually helpful. It’s at the stage where any old sm…
