"Should you wait?" Yes, of course. Never buy the version 1.0 of anything Apple. Version 2.0 will be so much better. See, e.g., OSX 10 vs 10.1, the first ipod touch vs the 2nd generation ipod touch, the first iphone vs iphone 3g, first apple watch ("…

It's a different world from 2006, when it was most important to run windows natively b/c there weren't many mac apps. Now there will be more useful "mac" apps than there ever have been.... ever.... thanks to iOS (and iPad OS). And the largest …

The problem is having speakers become obsolete. I have ~30 year old speakers that still sound great. They're "dumb" but they plug into a receiver.... my receiver is also ~30 years old. Early dolby digital and DTS 5.2 surround (yes, 5.2. The 90s were…

A lot of comments here are focusing on US tax law, which... I mean, fine, but US tax law isn't really the story, here. Tim might have been cynically lobbying for lower taxes with his comments (Correction: He definitely was), but there is a very goo…

A lot of people have a 5s or 6 and can't upgrade to iOS13 - there are still a ton of these people walking around. The tech-savvy of them who can't afford a phone every two years will wait for next year's 5G phone. The less-tech-savvy (grandparents, …

AppleInsider said: The company is switching to a new naming scheme as well, seen below. Intel really missed a marketing opportunity with their Level of Graphics. They could have led with, "hey, you're finally getting Mac G5 laptops!"

The end of this article makes too many logical leaps. If we're speculating then it's more likely that an A-series "T3" would run the MacOS and the Intel x86 would be the "unofficial" coprocessor. Apple could tout the speed of optimizing mac apps f…

There sure are a *lot* of stories proclaiming how great the 2020 iphones will be: 5g, better display, more-inconspicuous notch (love or hate it, if all the tech's in a smaller profile that's better), plus the typical processor & battery chatter.…

With 5G, etc, the wait list for 2020 iphones will be loooooong. If this November Apple let us get on the waitlist for a 2020 iPhone for a $200 deposit (or full payment up front, even), I bet a million+ people would do it. I'm guessing Apple's guidan…

Detailed information on 80 million people in the USA, but only those over the age of 40? Who could it be:- Everyone who shared facebook posts during 2016 election that were really tied to a data-mining app.- People on the AARP mailing list (current,…

I got the i7 2018 mini and love it. My wife and I both use it when working from home and we have a 27" 4k and a 21" 1080p monitor. Nothing too graphics intensive. The fan almost never comes on. The only time I heard it was playing a movie for my kid…

The increase in R&D is to port mac os and mac apps to ARM; macs will continue to ship with intel processors for non-os applications (eg microsoft stuff, windozzzz). Increasing spending on R&D now means there's something cooking for 2020-21 (…

My response to this editorial is a new variant on Heinlein's Razor: "Never attribute to 'authentic ethics' that which is adequately explained by an inferior product and dumb luck." "Authentic Ethics" is a visionary-type person who understands what S…

Step 1: Build a strawman and light it on fire: "We will never merge the two if doing so would mean compromises." In other words, "We are in the process of merging the two." Putting an ARM chip in the macs and running the OS on the ARM isn't the sam…

This article is helpful for refuting pay-for-play "journalism", but a better comparison between the two companies is to point out that Apple has three significant revenue streams: #1 Hardware #2 Services, aka, taking a cut on stuff (app sales, music…
