Why is the base sport model so much more expensive?

Very few people speak as the public face of Apple. Tim Cook, Jony Ive, Phil Schiller, Eddy Cue... and that's about it. And even they don't say much. Jony rarely says anything about the business of Apple itself, more about general design philosophy.…

Quote: delivered on time "like clockwork," I don't even know what to say about this. Public companies do quarterly reports. There's a schedule to it. Does he not trust anything with a schedule?

Love these so much. 15 seconds, set a unique fashionable tone, show a blip of the functionality on an Apple Watch that works the best (built-in stuff, not 3rd party), and they're out. They seriously look like the live action version of a Vogue magaz…

I'm surprised anyone can criticize this. Tim is the CEO and if there's anyone from Apple who is going to forge a relationship with the Chinese president, it really needs to be him. These types of personal relationships are invaluable, especially in …

I would love to know Apple's grand plan for HealthKit. Clearly they're doing this for a purpose far beyond the consumer market... something akin to being the defacto electronic health record for each person as they move through any medical system. I…

I'm not sure what the point of this would be. No existing headphones would be compatible with this smaller jack, so why not go 100% different? Unless... maybe all new Apple / Beats headphones will have this new plug and the new headphones will be b…

It looks great. That said, it makes me a little uncomfortable to see Apple push even farther into luxury territory and away from their traditional Upper Middle Class positioning. Apple used to be brand-peers with Starbucks / Volkswagen / Crate and B…

That's some good doubling down on secrecy! I would have assumed they were barely started.

I love my EarPods and also would welcome a more sealed in-ear version. I've bought lots of headphones and you have to spend at least $200 to get something that sounds better. For $25, EarPods are a ridiculously good pair of earphones. Totally underr…

Readability is about more than size. It has a lot to do with letterforms being distinct and having all the nice little cues that tip off your subconscious about which letter is which. Typing something in all caps will be "larger", but it will also b…

iCloud already does this for existing iPhones, right?

It's not *as* crazy as it would be to build an internal combustion car. Electric cars are in many ways closer to being large electronics than they are traditional cars. And Apple's biggest stregnth, arguably, is industrial design and mechanical engi…

There's a good chance they'll show off some serious games to try to position the AppleTV as a semi-console. With all the work put into Metal and SceneKit over the past 2 years, and now with an A8 (maybe A9) running at full power, possibly with addit…

If they can work out all the rough edges (like weird offline downloading) then it will be great. In theory, I love it, but there are too many places where it just doesn't work yet. Hoping most of the kinks are worked out by ios9

That was a fascinating ad. I love that Apple is not afraid to go to places that aren't 100% cheerful happy people. In the original Apple Music ad, most of the people were going about their day, a few were jamming, and one teenage girl was crying. No…

There are just a few key things that need to be fixed ASAP. Going on a road trip, I made a playlist and hit "Make available offline" on the playlist. It proceeded to do something that looked like downloading each song. As soon as I was outside data…
