kpom said: I wonder why Apple is so reluctant to release USB 3.0-compatible Lightning accessories and USB-C to Lightning adapters. Perhaps they have something planned for March, or the iOS 10/iPhone 7 release this fall. Well, they have re…

It is fully OK that people lose their warranty when using unauthorized repair services. It is also fully OK that Apple disables a security feature, if unauthorized parts have been introduced into the signal chain. Especially since biometric data can…

I bought both (whatever I do not use, somebody in the company will use it), and I mostly agree with the review. The lack of color choices (the only option making no real sense, as it matches not a single iPad Pro color. and attracts dirt like crazy)…

Well, they have been selling third-party screen protectors in Apple Stores since at least the iPhone 4. While I do not use any, and never managed to crack an iPhone screen (and I've dropped mine more than once), this is about giving people a shitty …

"The outlets proved so effective that other tech companies like Microsoft copied Apple's retail business model, albeit to lesser degrees of success." Tagging complete loss-makers a "lesser degree of success" is maybe a bit too much political corr…

The problem here is the pipe dream of maintaining a clean, curated platform without ever becoming the censor. Doesn't work. There is no universal moral or ethic, and those claiming that are the problem, not the solution. By replacing conventional s…

I bought the first 15" rMBP in mid 2012 (upgraded to max. RAM and the then fastest CPU). While it does not have the latest WiFi speeds and the fastest PCIe SSD, it still is doing more than fine. Neither the speed nor the battery life are any issue. …

So, they are calling them iPads when they work, and MS Surface when they don't? That's marketing all money can't buy :-)

I do not mind the odd choices, but excluding Apple Mail (for exactly what purpose?) and not even mentioning Outlook or Thunderbird (which may be the two real "competitors", as far as free software without ads is in competition at all)... is just pla…

I do use Flipboard occasionally (mainly to watch some Twitter feeds from people who do not post a lot, like some artists). For everything else I still use a mix of RSS Reader (Mr. Reader on the iPad, Unread on the iPhone and ReadKit on the Mac all…

jdw said: 1) Apple calls it a pencil. Some pencils come without erasers but MOST DO. It's only natural to give it an eraser. It's expected. And for $100, it's a MUST. 2) People reviewing MS's input device have praised the flip-side eraser …

If thin and light are one's priorities there is nothing wrong with Apple's keyboard (other than lack of international layouts and, less important, color choices). Personally, I have not used a keyboard with the iPad (regular size) a lot, but I did…

Their real problem is not only the ad blocking, it is the script blocking and its side effect on e.g. trackers that limit monthly free page views. Not only don't you see ads, you get unlimited free access to content that those watching ads have to p…

The review is of course right in saying that the product does include a 2m / 6ft Lightning cable, but the calculation does still not really work, as adding a Lightning cable to any 3rd party dock does achieve nothing (can't charge a Watch with those…
