Have to agree with other commenters. Making the device thinner doesn't buy anything and while I don't have non-standard headphones, I don't want to have to buy adapters if I need to charge and use headphones at the same time (I do this a lot for wat…

In the months that I've had a 6s, I may have run out of battery once. ONCE! Generally, I get to the end of the day without a battery warning at all. I have a Morphie for my 5 and it was great while traveling overseas. Using maps from the back of…

Quote: Can anyone explain why the y-axis compresses so much at the higher end? What is the creator of such a graph trying to accomplish with compression like this? It significantly distorts the immensity of AAPLs growth since 2013. Is that what…

We should count our blessings. Had Newton taken off, Apple would have had variant operating systems just like MS had WinCE and Windows. Instead, we have the iPhone, based off the OS X kernel, and the whole ecosystem benefited. I'm glad it went th…

The part that will sadly never come out is a thunderbolt PCI card that fits in commodity Intel motherboards (like the one collecting dust in your closet) and puts the machine in "target disk/ethernet/usb/sound/video mode" by taking over the boot pro…

The point to me about Apple getting into HDTV is not about Apple making money in the short term per-set, it'a about Apple making money long term because of more people bought deeper into the greater ecosystem.

But to get all this great call quality (who makes phone calls any more?), you have to suffer Sprint customer service and data speeds, which are by far the worst in the industry. And when you finally give up on them, they will charge you ex…

I can see both sides of this. Apple does a lot of marketing and buys a lot of stock photography. It seems like less than one percent of the images have copyright problems, they might just need to improve their workflow. From the artist's side, th…

It's an active cable, FFS! The pins on it change function depending on what it negotiates with the phone. Apple doesn't want some half-baked cable negotiating to put high amperage charging power on a pin that was supposed to have some sensitive si…

I've never been a huge fan of MS, but in my book, they've got three things going for them in my book: Even though they ripped off Apple's UI and potentially caused them great loss for some time, they did push Apple to move toward a real p…

I think this direction is inevitable, but I'm not holding my breath until I see iOS emulation running on OS-X (or vis a vis).

This is probably an inevitable transition, I have to agree. When XCode can provide fat binaries with no effort, the primer is there. I won't believe this is an option for a long time. First off, lack of Windoze virtualization would be a slow a…
