My take is that FaceID probably came out of the efforts of the iPhone camera team and the iPhoto/Photos teams. They've been working for years on specific technology to make pictures better by concentrating on faces by way of their image processing …

Please edit this article to include a grid (Excel) chart of the choices with options for length, wattage, active/passive, speed and compatibility. That would make a good article a great resource.

The HDMI port on the current Apple TV is supposidly HDMI 1.4. HDR needs HDMI 2.0 since its required for the metadata in any HDR implementation. As for 4K, you could do 4K on HDMI 1.4 but it would be limited to 24 fps. That's not horrible since mo…

Lost in the story is Apple supporting the nascent hybrid log gamma (HLG) form of HDR which is likely going to be the broadcast standard in the next year or two. Apple is covering all the major bases for HDR, which is great.

What matters here is the differences between TSMCs 16nm and 10nm process modes, not what Intel, or others are doing. We compare Apple’s line to Apple’s line, after all. no other SoC manufacturer is doing what Apple is doing, after all, so it do…

Good news on the Mac Pro front and a rare admission from Apple that they screwed the pooch on this one. Sometimes function does have to trump form when you are making design decisions. The 2013 Mac Pro looked way cool but was hobbled by a design t…

In my house, we have two Minis. Both of them belong to my kids and they are perfect size for them. Even more important is that my 13 year old son has special needs and is being trained to use iPads as a communication tool. He has an iPad that the…

Not sure this is related but new Airport/Time Capsule updates have dropped. Every one I have on my network from Extreme version 1 to version 6 are updated as well as the Express. Anyone know what's in them?

MacPro said: Yay! My two favorite companies, Apple and Amazon. Nice to see some 'getting along' even if no app for Apple TV. This has nothing to do with Apple and Amazon relations. Rather, this is the realization that Flash and Silverli…

I'm surprised that one of the other obvious decision points for Apple hasn't been discussed. Back in the early days of Airport, Apple was the first to bring out a wireless router and for a long time was pretty much the only one most people wanted. …

Here's what I see happening next... At some point someone will tally a list of manufacturers with exposed IoT shipped products. It should be interesting to see the list. Second, since the Mirai code is out there and the vulnerability pretty well …
