I have to agree that 512GB SSD and 16GB should be the base for MBPs. For MB Air, I think there are customers that would be okay with just 256 SSD and 8 RAM, especially those who do mostly web surfing, zoom and Google docs. The prices for increasing…

"What, an Apple Car. Let me tell you, companies have been making cars for a hundred years. What could Apple bring to the product that they haven't already done? And 120,000 dollars. Who would pay that, especially when there isn't a physical keybo…

If this does become a major issue for a good number of people, the technology will have to adapt. For example, if you want to dim a certain area say 5 x 5 pixels by fifty percent, don't switch off all at the same time 50% of the time. Instead inte…

It is always interesting to see the teardowns but I sometimes cringe that they essentially destroy a brand new piece of equipment to do it. I would never expect to be able to repair an AVP as we can see how complex the setup is. I think the fans…

Unfortunately Apple can't do anything about having to allow 3rd party stores. I for one won't use them. Apple will have to figure out a way to sandbox those apps so they can't mine data from the phone that they don't generate themselves., like pa…

I estimate that >99% of iPhone users do not care about getting apps outside of the App Store. I also estimate that the majority of those are also happy not to have to worry about apps stealing their data or having to deal with viruses etc. The …

If Apple really did sell 180K in 18 minutes, that meant the revenue was around 630 million dollars. That isn't bad for a high end equipment with limited supply.

My biggest issue is that you can only access the account info on an iOS device. What if my phone is stolen? Will that allow someone to pull the savings out immediately if they have unlocked the phone?

Apple did with the AppleCard exactly what they did with the iPhone. They found a single carrier who was willing to agree to Apple's terms to control the experience. It was brilliant for Apple and in the end good for AT&T. The thing with the cr…

I have definitely preferred the experience with the AppleCard vs. the other card I have. The phone app is great. The only downside is not being able to link the data to a financial app. Does it make sense for Apple to take over the whole shebang? …

The form factor for the iMac has bothered me for years now. The chin on the display is unnecessary and apple should be placing the circuit boards behind the screen. Essentially all you should see from the front is the screen with the bezel just bi…

Buying them isn't so easy. TH ecurrent market cap for MASI is 4.3M. Back in April it was 3 times as much. Apple won't want to spend that for a measily O2 sensor. So licensing would be the way to go if the gov't agrees with the ban.

if the chips are available then I would say M3 all the way. if I were in the market for an iMac and saw that M3s were starting to be used, I would probably not buy a M2 version thinking that the M3 may be out in 6 months. But it is interesting t…

This might sound silly but I have never figured out why the pencil isn't allowed to work with an iPhone. I don't an iPad but I would like the ability to jot stuff down on a phone by writing rather than typing.

I hadn't thought about all the options with other USB-C devices. That's an added bonus. TBH the main reason I wanted the iPhone to have USB-C is to reduce all the cables I have, especially when traveling. I usually charge wirelessly during the nig…

I don't quite get it. #1 Leather is a by-product of the food industry. I doubt that any more cows were needed to make the cases. #2 A recent study showed that leather watch straps hold significantly fewer germs. I imagine that same goes for the …

It looks like ApplePay customers use it for large transactions. That would explain why it tops the spend volume but not the transaction number. I imagine PayPal is the opposite: high number of transactions but low value. Also PayPal is online only…
