Weird. I am running Sierra and don't even have a /Library/Bundles folder. Ahh, I see - apparently Apple has pushed out an update that installs this new folder. I don't let updates happen automatically, so I don't have the nagware installed. This…

I bought my 12yo neice a sphere mini for Christmas - she loved it. That they have 'races' at the Apple Store and the coding app are great tie-ins. I was disappointed that swift playgrounds didn't support sphero-mini prior to Christmas - that's a …

Time for an iMessage preference 'show link previews' which we can disable.

AppleInsider said: AppleInsider is in the midst of comparative speed testing on a 2017 MacBook Pro. Early indications are that there are no notable slowdowns between a system running macOS High Sierra 10.13.1 and 10.13.2. Please include t…

Better battery life on cellular - then AW4 may be my first. I've had every iPhone since the first - I'm really disappointed with the latest trend to offer iPhones in "Enormous", "Gigantic" and "OMG it's huge!". I currently use an SE - but I'm di…

In Europe we get Windows N - which is windows without Windows Media Player. It's required under European rules. I don't use nor want Apple Music - it needs unbundling from iOS. And yes - internally to Apple when people download and subscribe th…

caladanian said: Why name it 11.2.5 not 11.2.2? I can't ever remember Apple skipping versions before. Can anyone else? Maybe they already have watchOS 4.2.1 and iOS 11.2.2-4 planned as security releases due out imminently... Odd. Tota…

I wat to upvote just this part of your post. bikertwin said: But perhaps Apple has decided that small screens belong on an Apple Watch, and is pushing people to larger screens on phones. I've wondered this too - especially now that the Apple Watc…

iPhone X SE. Premium is always smaller. They could price it at $2K and I'd buy it. It'll be faster and longer battery life than any other phone in Apple's line up - because that huge screen takes all the power and cycles. Apple need to divorce 'c…

I don't think this is about the iPad, but the iPhone SE. It's a much more logical device to start with dropping Qualcomm from. Apple sees the SE as an 'entry' phone, so if its performance is poorer than an iPhone 8 baseband - it's not the end of…

AI videos usually annoy me - but this one was happily the exception. Really a lot of info that would've taken an age to explain in text - presented clearly ina short and to the point video. I love the the utility of having the iPhone camera on me…

I remember when Apple would release new hardware on or before Intel started selling the chips. E.g.: the first MBA - Apple negotiated special packaging just so it would fit, and got access to that silicon in production volume before any other vendo…

Password in settings is no good - I want to be prompted for my password so my niece and nephew don't change/buy things. The app dialogs should be different to the system ones. I've never liked the system dialogs - but it'll be 'safer' to change t…

We are new parents - and won't be buying this. We use a wireless / video (and heart rate sensor under the mattress) device with a dedicated monitor. These 'wireless' units all have non-existent security which worries me initially. So I looked a…
