It was an awful idea in the first place for Apple to get into the usury business. The optics alone of being a financial predator would be bad.

"Also not clear, is why Samsung didn't get fined" Oh it's pretty clear-- Korea is one of the biggest homers when it comes to business regulation. Only China beats it.

The single biggest audio related improvement that Apple can make is to stop charging ridiculously high prices for disposable earbuds. $200 for AirPods that you throw away after 2 years is unconscionable. Either make the batteries replaceable or cut…

This supposedly "thin" phone, will the camera lenses still jut out like a barnacle? If so, then meh. My car has a wireless charging pad for a cell phone but the protruding lens island doesn't allow the iPhone to lie fully flat on the pad hence cha…

The problem with the suit is there is no discernible underlying legal or economic theory that will explain why something is objectionable when Apple does it but it's okay when other companies do it. 30% commissions are supposedly a horrible thing. …

A lot of developers, both legit and non-legit, must be disappointed. They probably thought the EU forcing Apple to open up to side loading and 3rd party app stores means that iOS will turn into a free-for-all platform where any app can be installed…

It still amazes me that some people think 'open and competitive app market' means that any developer and any app can just squat on iPhone for free.

Treating a company that is NOT a monopolist as if they were. There is no economic or legal theory that justifies this. The only monopoly Apple has is the monopoly on Apple branded products. If they go after Apple for this, they should go after th…

I think for the most part Apple makes the best consumer tech products out there but one Apple product that I won't buy anymore after buying it once are the AirPods. These are disposable products being sold at prices more appropriate for long-lived …

The headline. Who upgrades their laptop annually? Especially since migrating to a new machine can be a Royal PITA?

In mobile electronic devices, there are three main design goals or aspects to consider: 1. Cheap 2. Compact 3. Complex (which when done right means performance and functionality, but I chose C to have a catchy "3 Cs of mobile device design".) Th…
