Let’s face it: it’s a convenience port; you wouldn’t want to risk an expensive motherboard repair by using this port all the time hard; same thing killing an expensive camera with constant card swaps. Most modern high-end cameras offer WiFi image tr…

Given that there are USB-C cables with magnetic tips, this whole thing wasn’t necessary. We could have one more USB/TB4 port, a UBC-C charging cable with a magnetic tip, and have the best of all solutions, with charging on either side, MagSafe like …

There are only two things I miss on these new systems: Touch Bar and ECC RAM

“I find your lack of Touch Bar disturbing…“ The only thing that was ever bad about it, was the first iteration without a dedicated ESC-key; the second version fixed that, and from then on, the Touch Bar was a clear winner. The only other issue, wh…

Big deal; I have the duo, it charges fine, it won’t stop charging fine. Just because there’s a new gadget that can charge a bit faster, not a big deal, charging speeds are already fine, and the duo is perfect for travel: less outlets and cables req…

Hm, wondering how easily the watches, and consequently an entire AppleID account and its data, can be compromised with such a tool… Apple needs to allow security researchers access to these. It’s not like one can assume that everyone working at A…

cgWerks said: It has to either be smart, or sound good. And, if it is in that 'sound good' category (like discontinued HopePod) then it needs an audio input so it isn't a one-string-banjo. I'm not sure why Apple is having such a hard time wit…

macxpress said: IMO, I think it was silly to drop the HomePod and just focus on the $50 speaker market with a $99 speaker. Why can't Apple do both? The regular HomePod was just way too expensive. I own 2 and I only purchased them because I go…

Good riddance! Another entitled brat who tried to politicize the workplace, and get a fat payout as a result. In a country like Russia, they would have a car accident. In the US they will sue, until the company will settle for a large sum of money…

No, we do NOT need the cool factor, what we need is PRIVACY, things that JUST WORK and then get out of the way, we need glass that DOES NOT SCRATCH, we need maybe a sticky ecosystem, but sticky because it works best, not because it locks people in. …

High time these laws get passed. The current situation limits users’ control over their own devices and leverages dominance in one market into another market, the picture book definition of abuse of monopoly power.

Speak for yourselves! Form follows function, and as long as Apple doesn’t introduce new functionality, like a touch screen and pen input, or something like that, I absolutely WANT NO DESIGN CHANGE. The current design is nicely optimized, and minima…

digitol said: Mac OS Security is a joke. They heavily heavily rely on obscurity, and deploy mechanisms that simply are not well structured, or fully checked all the way up the chain. Sigh. sudo mount -o nobrowse -t apfs /dev/disk Targetdi…

Apple can’t have it both ways: 1) For legitimate reasons they want to control what apps are associated with an Apple branded AppStore, as they affect the Apple brand. OK, so then, since Apple has no right to act as a private industry censorship au…

Might be a simple case of documentation being completed before the feature was rolled out. There’s also the question of how older versions of iOS and macOS would handle that in a compatible way. E2E would presumably require some protocol changes, a…

It’s time Apple opened up iMessage/FaceTime to be cross platform. The only reason I have to keep using crap like Instagram, WhatsApp, Viber, SMS, etc. is because like it or not, a majority of people don’t have Apple devices and because some owners …

As if 12.5% weren’t enough. Remember, there were tax revolts over the “10th” (10%) that people had to yield to government/nobility in the past. Also: big corporations split their business activities over a series of subsidiaries, each doing below t…
-
0.15% is nothing compared to the 2-5% they themselves charge vendors for transactions. Given that ApplePay helps cut down on incorrect charges, card fraud, card wear, lost cards, etc. causing expenses/losses and administrative overhead, the card com…

It would be more useful to have iDevices with eInk displays on the back: this would allow customization of the devices look with custom wall papers when used in transparent cases, and more importantly, allow low-power display and reading in daylight…
