The one disappointment with my otherwise love-everything-about-it iPad 12.9" Pro model is that the battery life totally sucks. For example, I just completed a Cape Town to Atlanta flight, nearly 15 hours, and the iPad gave me not even 4 hours of vid…

Would dearly love to see a redesign of the Apple Music app. It’s the #1 reason I prefer Spotify (well, that, and a better algorithm that finds music I like). Haven’t seen Spotify’s new design yet, I hope they didn’t “fix” what wasn’t broken…

JP234 said: $190 price target for Apple Inc. Same as Morgan Stanley. What is never mentioned is "over what time period?" If it's over a week, that's dramatically different than over a year. Or is $190 a point at which Apple stock is fully val…

Having watched the Elizabeth Holmes / Theranos story on TV, this smells like redux. Grift at a scale of $100 Million? Wow, possibly a new record.

"That's still higher than the $160 it was before September 2022's rise to $189." What? APPL never hit $189 in Sept 2022. Is that a typo or wishful thinking?

I'm on my 3rd set of AAP1, the previous 2 having been replaced under warranty by Apple because the batteries in the individual pods basically died after just a few months of very moderate use. Wondering how the AAP2 compares on this metric? Also, I …

If you're into photography, Austin Mann gives a pretty comprehensive review that I found very handy. Still, impressed as I am with the upgraded camera features, I'm holding onto my iPhone 13 for another year, at least.

Tesla first factory is at Freemont. Now its Shanghai plant is producing more EV than it. Why Freemont workers or even Austin workers cannot produce more? 'Cause selling Teslas in China was made contingent on Tesla building a plant there?…

One wonders what the bill had before it was "stripped down"? Probably spending even more, no doubt. Meanwhile, the US defense budget is something like $780 billion a year. Re-homing chip production is decidedly more valuable to national security tha…

Recent series in the NY Times on China’s mass surveillance system is quite scary/edifying. State control is absolute so it’s hard to see how TikTok is not a part of this. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/17/technology/china-surveillance.html

When Musk announced he was going to buy Twitter for $44B I figured there was about as much likelihood as that happening as pigs flying, hell freezing over, or us ever seeing t_ump's taxes.

12.3 has fixed two nagging and rather significant issues for me (16" MacBook M1 Pro): A constant, annoying popup window reminder that apps are consuming all system memory and need to be forced quit. And a horrible interrupting crackling sound when p…

Great review, thorough and comprehensive. I got mine yesterday, albeit the M1 Pro. Was surprised it was already running Monterey - but needed to update to 15.0.1. Love the keyboard. Not noticing a huge difference in screen quality but haven’t watche…

Slightly OT, but crikey, trying to be patient, but where in the heck are those new M1x 14" and 16" Macbook Pros?? Were all the rumors wrong??

I realize the intent of this review was to go head to head with two similar models, however, I would have appreciated including the specifications and comparative points for the iPhone 13 Pro Max. Perhaps because that’s the one I’m buying.

My biggest beef with Apple Music is how much the site pushes music by contemporary, popular artists that I have ZERO INTEREST in listening to. Anything that Zane Lowe and his cohort are promoting is nearly by definition something I don’t want to hea…
