It is implausible that this would arrive in early 2025. Assuming this smart home scenario is true (and that's a BIG "if"), it would require far more hooks and interoperability than what is currently built into Apple's current OS releases (across mul…

These Apple rumors are getting nuttier and nuttier with each passing week. At some point one needs to think whether these are actually worth reporting. How many times has AppleInsider posted an article about the Apple TV television set? Dozens fo…

There has never been any question about the possibility of a M4 MacBook Air. The only main questions are the exact configurations, pricing, and release date, none of which will be accurately revealed until Apple's official announcement. It is unlik…

One very important thing hand VR controllers offer over controller-free hand gestures is haptic feedback. For gaming this can be pretty important depending on the title. Even if you are grabbing something, the game developer can program some sort o…

Apple has issued gift cards for Black Friday purchases for several years and there's little chance of them changing this anytime in the foreseeable future. Gift cards ensure that all of the money will be redirected back at Apple whether it be hardw…

Still beta. That's why no restaurant is going to use beta Apple Maps on their website. And no restaurateur is going to sign up for Apple's Developer Program either. It's nice that Apple is working on it but they are years behind Google Maps. The l…

mbmoore said: No USB-A on a Mac Mini isn’t a big deal, but it’s a huge deal on a MacBook. I just bought an M1 MacBook Air, and I like it, but there is no real replacement for my low profile USB-A thumb drive. I’m going to have to use a fragil…

There is no way Apple could sell a television at the gross margins they are accustomed to in today's consumer television marketplace. This rumor is complete steaming pile, a genuine Munsterism. Aahahahahahahahahaha!!!

While I understand the apprehension/revulsion of Google services by many in this discussion, it is nearly impossible to completely avoid the company. Yes, you can avoid Google Search and Gmail, that's not difficult to do. But realistically, it is n…

AppleZulu said: This should be unsurprising, because it’s at the heart of Apple’s business model, and is the same concept as Apple’s exclusive relationship between its hardware and operating systems. Boiled down, it’s about limiting unnecessa…

It's not a "secret weapon." It was crystal clear to the entire semiconductor industry back in 2013 when Apple debuted the A7 SoC, the first 64-bit chip widely distributed in a smartphone. It was a mic-drop moment for Apple. The rest of the industry…
