- The policy to only source products from within the US is wrong. Certain products of course, but not everything. - The choice of Taiwan is fantastic. Wonderful place, not part of China despite what some here might thing, democratic and quality prod…

Apple seems to have always had issues with speakers. In addition, Siri seems to have stalled. Perhaps Apple is trying to do too many things? iTunes, Siri, smart speakers, increasingly complicated interfaces with both OSX and iOS, a really unhealthy …

Not everyone wants a phone as an all purpose device. The Mini is a great tablet. Perfect for people who want say: lower cost phone, iMac, iPad Mini. The iPad Pro is great but the general iPad is less appealing to me than the smaller Mini. Mind you, …

Sure this is nice for people who make use of 4K video but that doesn't address the content issue and the complete mess that is iTunes. If this is all the Apple TV can improve on then what is the darned point of even selling it. Apple's media player …

Apple may be making money on its one product foundation but as a very longtime user it has become one of the most disappointing, boring companies on earth. Reliable and predictable though. Was given a new iPhone for Christmas and I still couldn't be…

CCC is an excellent program. For a long time it was free for educational users and the implication was it would remain that way. It didn't and Time Machine along with the restore partition provided an alternative to CCC.

This has overtones of the shift from the Apple // to the Mac. The reliance on the iPhone has become very risky. Phones are a bit like fashion and can quickly go out of style and you then have a huge company with no significant products.

More than anything it would be nice for Apple TV to have content unique to the device. Amazon's Fire TV has Amazon Prime and various channels one can subscribe to. Apple needs content.

Apple should really improve Siri before even thinking of this. I never use Siri on our ATV's or any of our iDevices. Can't stand the voice quality and recognition is not ideal. On the other hand Alexa is just great. Don't have to speak differently a…

@ "Not on the citizenship issue, there haven’t." Not true, there have. This whole natural born issue is a non-issue. Next you'll be claiming that the fact the American citizen parent's female status is also an issue ( that's yet another of these b…
