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…

Trying to force tech companies to create back doors is pretty unlikely given the international terrorism and financial fraud risks it would create.. That would be tantamount to basically killing off the entire tech sector. 47 is increasingly old, ti…

Happy with my 14 pro for another year. That said, next iphone will be a 17 pro max as the screen, camera, AI tools and larger battery will be appreciated. Will say, whether or not Apple planned it, battery life in iOS 18 and 18.1 still sucks for my …

The M3 MBA is a brilliant computer. I went with a midnight 16gb 512gb 13” M3 earlier this year. Grunty little machine, was worried I wouldn’t like the screen size and nearly stumped up for a 15” or a base MBP 14” but 13.6” is great and glad I saved …

The current design is fine IMO - it’s just a bloody mobile phone after all. Given their horrendous retail prices, however, I wouldn’t say no to my next iPhone pro being repairable, recycled, slimmer, lighter, having an improved battery life, process…

A comparison with other brands budget/midrange phones would be good, AppleInsider… The general perception seems to be the standard iPhone models are now just a budget specced phone and seriously overpriced.

Far too expensive and clunky at this early stage unfortunately, but fingers crossed they keep at it. I’d definitely buy a more consumer oriented Apple Vision if it came down to the price of a MacBook/iPhone and particularly if it could be readily ad…

Casio have had a blood oximeter in their basic sports tracking watches for ages... I’ll grab an Apple Watch Ultra when they eventually have better specs and battery life. Meantime more than happy being untethered from the cloud with my trusty old Aq…

No idea why anyone would want a non pro iPhone at the present time. The pro models are excellent devices, albeit way too expensive compared with other brands which offer similar or superior features for similar or less outlay than a standard iPhone.…

Was interested in an AVP initially but have gone off the idea. It’s another Newton 2000 (I had one!); a cool idea in theory but really overpriced, clunky and of limited use. For the price of a AVP you could buy an iPhone 16, an M3 MacBook Air and an…

Social media can F off. Was initially fun to connect with current and old friends but it’s now more shite than reality TV. Pretty simple if you don’t want to get ripped off: Two factor authentication, don’t share passwords among services, don’t save…

Great that Apple has a decent lifecycle for audio products. Meaningful upgrades are so much better for consumers than incremental hardware updates every year - I wish they would extend the cycle for Macs, iPhone's and watches as it’s ridiculous how …

Enough screens in our lives already, but a viable budget version of AVP would surely be a no brainer and massive money spinner if Apple had a greater investment in the gaming community. Never understood why Apple appear happy to sit back and watch S…

Samsung are overlooking that the iPhone concept was a minimalist touch screen tablet that did away with the fold. Great no brainer design but Apple also built the OS to drive it, incorporating the iPod and handheld computing functionality, and then …

Pro convert since the 14, waiting out for a 17 Pro max as AI features should be dialed in by then... Even though the pro models are damn expensive and the standard iPhone is getting closer in its features, running a really busy small business I find…

Survey rings true for me. Long term Mac user and will keep an iPhone for 3-5 years. Only acquired AirPods Pro 2 (a pair each for my wife and I) as they were available in a business points system and I had racked up enough to get them, but we are bot…

Not for me this year. Hoped series 10 would add value. Selecting extra functionality such as cellular connectivity, the larger screen and better grade screen glass / case makes the Apple Watch 10 approximately the same price as an Ultra 2, but with …
