An iOSeu restricted to the eu might work but I don't know that Apple could do it without giving up proprietary IP. If so that could be a way to go. I'd like to know how just dropping the EU from their phones and any other Apple products would affect…

starring Pedro Pascal, but you'll be bored long before it's over.You bored me at Pedro Pascal. I've never liked him at all until The Mandalorian and then not after he removed his helmet. I'll watch the spot eventually just to see the look of it whi…

Just no. I had a Pebble before Apple released their Watches didn't like it at all. While I don't wear watches as a fashion statement, I like them to look nice as well as be functional to whatever degree I desire at the moment. So good luck to Pebble…

I'm not particularly concerned about AMAZON or anybody mining my voice commands for fun or profit. Eavesdropping on me for any reason is a concern for me. Given that proviso what really bothers me is echo devices is 99% useless when they lose an int…

There are a number of third party displays that will get the job done but most don't have the build quality of an Apple display. Controlling brightness as day moves to night is a huge consideration for me. The few TP displays I've used don't have th…

I'd like to see Apple make a phone that they can't won't sell to the EU. An FU EU phone. But apparently the EU market is too big for Apple to ignore. Maybe they also fear more scrutiny as blowback. A phone without ports wouldn't cut it for me. I lo…

It's disappointing that anyone would reveal secrets about a product that hasn't shipped yet. I've always enjoyed the conjecture of what the next product will be or what its features are, without any leaks. But those days are gone and it's really imp…

I've used and use a case on all my phones so the bump has never been a problem. Outside of my house or office or when not alone my phone is never face-up. Making the back of the phone the same thickness as the rest of the bump would use more metal …

Even if there's some advantage to doing this, do we know that a subsequent macOS update would then sync your contacts to Apple, give that Siri would be enabled before the update? Apple routinely turns on some setting when doing various updates. Thi…

The Studio Display is a much better version of my older 27" Apple display. Even so it's still a 27" display. A $300 discount isn't even enough to make me bite. I want a little larger display maybe 32". It could be closer in specs to the Studio Displ…

I've got a 15" M3 MBA and can't see any reason to upgrade, unless Tim himself offered to swap straight across. Our machines on many fronts have pretty much plateaued, so incremental updates don't do much for anyone who's bought a recent machine. Bu…

I'm one of those with a 12 mini that didn't get a 13 mini when the death knell sounded for the mini line. My 12 mini is in need of a battery which I'll get done at Apple. I wouldn't mind scoring a NOSIB 13 mini, but I've no interest in a bigger phon…

This is hilarious. Leave it to Apple to build a nuclear-powered mousetrap when a cheap Victor works very well, however inelegant it may be. Using a cloth tape isn't a big deal. I modified one with a loop so I can just loop it over my wrist and draw…
