Apple really jumped the gun on this announcement. Their AI features look great but are still probably a year away from being delivered and ironed out so can only guess they are masking embarrassment at how outdated the performance of Siri and predic…

Apple silicon is a game changer but people forget how much of a difference SSD hard drives made when they were introduced. Our 2011 MBA (SSD) died this year. It kept going well beyond software support ending and the only repair was a battery replace…

curtis hannah said: The MacBook Airs are a really nice product, especially now that it's the first time Apple has had a 15" screen laptop offered for less than $1500 in many years. The one problem is this generation they released the M3 vers…

Wouldn't have a problem with a tough recycled resin and elastomer encased Apple watch if it brought prices down - smart watches are redundant after a few years anyway. What would be really great is if Apple could get rid of the ugly Apple Watch roun…

The entire iPad lineup needs access to a more powerful OS and AI to justify the currently outlandish pricing. Can access all the services and business+home functionality we currently want as a family with our MBA M3, iPhone Pro and SE, AirPods Pro 2…

iPad’s are way overpriced these days and yet still hobbled by that clunky consumer oriented OS (barely ok on the iPhone OS that it grew out of). Working in construction running a small business doing home renovations, I’m stoked with my business com…

No brainer for Apple to go all out developing AVP into a tiered product line-up. They could definitely leverage some of that mind blowing tech into an accessible money spinner for a few years while the flagship AVP model evolves into a slimmer produ…

Chapeau all the Apple staff and teams who made this happen. Machine learning that is private and will make devices function more intuitively, as well as a handy way of leveraging externally sourced ‘AI’ for what it really is, a glorified search engi…

A lot of the upcoming features look really handy. Sucks that I’ll have to upgrade from my 14 Pro but at least Apple is investing more into machine learning with an emphasis on privacy and good news the chat gpt functionality is limited to a free opt…

Bought an 13” M3 MBA yesterday in midnight colour (16gb/512gb) with AppleCare. Excellent laptop. Ideal combination of size, weight and processing grunt if you don’t need the larger screen. In use it looks/feels premium - probably the closest a consu…

I’m a self employed builder so these ”AI” (a bullshit term if ever I heard one) improvements should be very handy. Improved Siri and the ability to easily generate images on the fly that show clients what product options will look like in situ - yes…

New or amended aftermarket case designs and screen protectors to accomodate these thinning bezels would be good. On my iPhone Pro 14 it’s a mission in some apps and sites to select menu buttons and controls at the edges of the screen.

Why do PC makers have to constantly release new product? Sony by comparison have released 5 PlayStation models in 29 years. It’s become as wasteful as fast fashion despite all the bullshit talk of recycling materials etc. The irony is of course that…

It’s a minefield for anyone buying a PC (so many utter pieces of crap out there) but great to see some decent competition for the MBA. Apple’s shortcoming as always is that stinginess with soldered in GPU’s, hard drives and RAM. It’s always annoyed …

Based on how they’ve handed out the M4 to iPad Pro, I’d wager on a two year M4/AI release cycle with 2024 seeing Pro models getting M4 chips and enhanced AI features in the respective OS’s, followed by consumer models in 2025. Perhaps 2025 will kick…

GadgetGuy3.0 said: Is the benefit of the OLED screen worth what may be a significant price hike? Wondering what people's thoughts are. Tech specs are a bit redundant if all you’re getting for the money is a iphone that’s hobbled and too big …

If you’re listening Apple … the iPad has tons of unrealised potential for education, if only you could give the OS more Mac level functionality and an affordable 13” standard model. Our youngest daughter uses the sole iPad in our home as an occasion…

Looks like the old iMac G4 from 20 years ago. The whole point of smart speakers is that they're just minimalist audio appliances controlled via devices and voice.
