I would like to see Apple be more competitive in pricing. Not for the high end Macs like MBP, Studio etc but for the low end Mini's and Air. They could do this by having an M2 version available at the lowest price (i.e. 499 for a mini) and have th…

Why can the new Mac mini use a USB-C connector for a power supply? So the same type of power supply that the MacBook/MBP has. GaN chargers are only slightly bigger than the old Apple USB charger. Probably don't even need a 100W output. That way y…

It still amazes me how Apple has grown over the last 20 odd years. In 2005 it posted 1.4BB in net revenue on sales of just over 8BB. The five years before that it struggled to sell 1BB per quarter. Now we are talking over 80BB in a slow quarter. …

Mango Mussolini - that's a good one. Hope it's okay to use that in the future. Sadly I suspect he will win the election in Nov. Correction he will win the electoral college but will lose the actual vote tally. On taxes - Trump's policies will red…

AAPL always bounces around. Back in Dec it hit the all time high (199) and has been up and down since then. If you believe that the company's financials are healthy then it will continue to grow. I think we have to admit that the last few years…

Kwikiwi said: I am not a big fan of stock buy backs for Apple. The main issue I have is that Apple has to take out debt to buy the stock back and it has gone from being debt free to having over $100 Billion of long term debt that now costs ov…

ramanpfaff said: Rather pathetic dividend increase. I really am surprised it wasn't $0.02/share. Let's just say my retirement isn't going as planned. I don't consider Apple to be a good dividend yielding stock. At $1 a year the yield is …

For a while I was getting a new iPhone every year through the Apple upgrade program. I skipped that in 2022 and then got a new phone in 2023. The fact is that iPhones don't age that much in performance over a span of 2 years so there isn't much inc…

When I got my M1 MBP at the beginning of 2022, the difference in performance over the previous Intel MBP was startling. Everything was "snappier". Apps open faster with less lag. For me though it is the battery life that is exceptional. There i…

Hopefully this won't mean someone will be able to fake transactions and steal money from me. I've just returned from the UK and I used Apple Pay successfully for nearly every transaction. Still easier to use than in the US.

What does Apple do? They watch potential new markets and release a product to solve most of worse aspects of the competition. So there is no doubt that Apple foldable phones will be released. The big question is when. The answer to that is when A…

It's great that TB is going up to the next level. Even better that USB-C will work with the same connection. This is all great for the high end equipment, but basic drives and monitors still are stuck on USB or HDMI/DP (even VGA!!!). It takes yea…
