Rayz2016 said: This is precisely why they won’t do it, and precisely why they won’t buy ARM. And I think about five years from now, one of their competitors will trigger a federal investigation citing that Apple’s domination in chip design…

Makes perfect sense to me. The A-series of chips are designed to work hand-in-hand with Apple's software. If they started selling these chips to others, those customers would start demanding features important to their products, but irrelevant (or…

Key caps where letters don't rub off have been available for decades. They're called double-shot keycaps, where the two colors (background and glyph) are two different colors of plastic molded together. This is old tech, but it works great. It's a…

GeorgeBMac said: Cable TV without the cable! What a brilliant idea! Except that the problem with cable was hardly limited to the cord. Isn't this exactly what Apple was rejecting when they created the app driven AppleTV -- you buy onl…

Detnator said: No one in their right mind bought the $5000 MP expecting it to be supported for 10 years. Whether or not it will last 10 years...? Nothing changed in the past week relating to that. For what it's worth, my main computer …

My big question about this device is thermals. Modern SSDs can get very hot. The Envoy's case is aluminum, but will there be a thermal pad or other solution for dissipating the SSD's heat to the case? And will it be enough for it to be reliable un…

melgross said: ... TB is still an x86 implementation. Will Intel bring it to ARM? Maybe, maybe not. How so? Intel manufactures quite a lot of Thunderbolt controller chips that are not integrated with any CPU (x86 or otherwise). They only…

I wonder if iFixit will be able to get one of these? Apple doesn't normally take kindly to pre-release stuff being taken apart. They were very upset the last time iFixit did that (sorry, I can't find the link right now), but I'd still love to see …

fastasleep said: You don't have to use Apple's storage — there are myriad choices for SATA drive bays or PCIe NVMe host cards that are far cheaper. Not only that, they're faster too.

Fortunately, the need for Flash is pretty low these days. And Adobe themselves will be dropping it on December 31st. So there's probably little reason to keep it around. That having been said, trojans like this are nothing new. Corrupted/hacked …

AppleInsider said: The purchase page notes that "software reinstallation requires a second Mac running Apple Configurator 2 and a USB-C cable. Compatible with Mac Pro (2019)," Interesting. I wonder how Apple is going to cryptographically …

I have a 256G iPod Touch. I use it because I can carry my entire music library with me, download podcasts over the Wi-Fi, and listen for hours without draining my phone's battery. I also use it for games because my phone (an iPhone 6+) has less RAM…

From what I've been reading (on other forums). There are two categories of users interested in the SE2:Users looking to upgrade an existing SE. Many of them really like the small size of their current phone and don't like the fact that the SE2 is …

Hopefully the 3rd-gen AppleTV update will fix some bugs I've encountered in the Hulu app. And (unlikely, I know), if they can bring Disney+ to this device, it would be great, because performance on my Roku TV isn't as good as I would like.

The new MacBook Air looks really nice. For me, I'd get the 16GB of RAM and stick with the 512 GB SSD. But that's because I don't expect it to be my main computer. My current Air (a 2012 11" model) only has 128 GB of SSD, and it works for me becau…

Microsoft got a patent for two screens connected by a hinge? I'm pretty sure that's already been done. Anybody remember the Nintendo DS? Making the screens bigger and the bezels smaller doesn't change the concept.

This looks like the last thing I would want. No wired connectivity of any kind, so no charging while traveling unless I want to drag an expensive charge-mat around wherever I go. And no USB connectivity, so all audio is going to be via Bluetooth, …
