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 …

Tip of the iceberg. This is small change when you’re the world’s wealthiest corporation at $3.3 trillion US. It’s not just Apple - corporate tax set ups are completely ridiculous. Everyday tax payers, our central governments and local bodies around …

Battery and camera improvements look good but will let Apple iron out the AI functionality and keep my 14 Pro for another year as it’s a rock solid device and sold me on Apple’s pro range (MBP, APP2, ultra 2, iPhone pro).

Great I can happily keep my phone and save money for another year. The health updates (on existing products, non iPhone) were the most exciting device features but actually look helpful though. Apple presented as if positioning themselves as a high …

I’ll pass. If iPhone 17 Pro isn’t a big leap forward, I might ditch the iPhone platform. Other premium phones are gruntier and have better features. And what’s with the puny 8gb ram in 2024…

Well the evidence does more or less point to ‘social’apps being regulated as R16 or R18. That said, beyond whatever it is kids are doing that is causing so much harm to one another (and perps who may be lurking), adult SM feeds are now full of so mu…

Hopefully Apple can shut down this practice. Who uses these cheap/free crappy apps anyway? Tried face app once with my wife and kids for a laugh to make us look old, had a laugh then never used it again so deleted it. Social media is trash now too …

I can never figure out why Apple are so stingy with storage, ram and graphics. Providing decent specs, as well as the ability to upgrade and repair, would be such an easy way to further differentiate themselves in the market as an integrated softwar…

Bring it on. As a daily user and lifelong music fan I find APP2 are pretty good overall but there’s room for improvement. Occasionally they provide a mind blowing experience but it heavily depends on the production and style of music as most tracks …

timmillea said: I have an M1 MBA 16gb/2TB and wonder how long I will have to wait before Apple produces something that will actually excite me enough to upgrade? Regarding fans, once you have been fan-less, there is no going back. Like chil…

Unless I accidentally break or lose it, I’ll be sticking with 14 Pro until Apple introduce a worthwhile replacement and the new AI features are dialed in. Battery life in mine is still great after two years (battery health 88%). The camera, screen, …

Pricing and AI are no brainers, but there are other considerations not listed. My phone is an extension of my office as a builder and I’ve only updated when there has been a worthwhile shift forwards in practical features, including; OS speed, batte…

Fingers crossed the next gen ATV comes along soon and that Apple introduce a specced up version to allow casual gaming. Our gen1 4K is feeling over the hill - not updating and out of storage with only a handful of tv apps (not enough storage for any…

That crease and the inevitable (not to mention complex and expensive) faults on every folding phone I’ve seen are like a really bad joke. Seriously I would never buy one. Here’s the billion dollar question: If Apple could make a phone that unfolds i…

Genius marketing. Apple wrote the book on product colours back in the 90’s. It’s amazing the cliche still works so effectively when smartphones and their screens are far too pricey and fragile to not have a case.

Looking like the iPhone 16 product line up will be a year old before the upcoming machine learning AI features are implemented, so I’m sticking with the workhorse 14 Pro until iPhone 17 or 18 Pro models are released. iPhone is starting to look a bit…

Just shows how lackadaisical and arrogant business IT departments are with software update processes. Hopefully it’s not a big blow to the global economic recovery from inflation post Covid and Ukraine (i.e. income lost, insurance headaches, ensuing…

Great idea and lifesaving tech but what’s with the annoyingly bad battery life in 2024…? Have had a Garmin but the OS is too clunky, so will just stick with my bulletproof Aquaracer and GShock square until AW can go a few days.

5x zoom should be standard on all iPhones, considering one of the primary reasons people like iPhones is the camera. The standard iPhone 15 already costs as much as an M2 MacBook Air, which is a whole lot of coin to only get a budget phone that miss…
