I’ll miss the Touch Bar. I totally understand why it’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but I wish it could remain as an optional extra for the small number of people who love it like me. As others have said, the slider controls for volume, brightness an…

I’m a member of the Touch Bar Fan Club, but admittedly not many people signed up for our Halloween Social this year. That crazy Touch Bar had so much potential, but she never got the care and attention she deserved. She died so young. Gone but not f…

I didn’t think it was “padding” at all. Apple really does try much harder to be green than its competitors, and the appointment of Lisa Jackson ten years ago really has made a difference. In the admittedly not-great comedy, there was lots of informa…

I’m just jumping in to show some love for the Touch Bar! I totally understand why it’s not for everyone, but I was really pleased to see it survive. I’m someone who hardly ever used function keys in the first place, so the Touch Bar is a nice li…

I’ve enjoyed quite a lot of shows on Apple TV+ but I don’t think it will succeed for two simple reasons; most people (who don’t read AppleInsider!) have no idea that it exists or what it is, and if they do then they have no idea how to watch it. I’v…

I heard that Samsung tried to do the same thing, but their face shields snapped when you bent them and then burst into flames.

I tried switching to DDG as my default search engine on my iPhone earlier this year and gave it a month. I really wanted to like it but I ended up going back to Google. I found DDG’s results to be very US focused and since I don’t live in the US a l…

Hang on, Wolverhampton?! Are you a yam yam?!

The completely unethical, state sponsored Korean chaebol chose to use Google’s free spyware as their OS; that was their biggest mistake.

I love reading your angry scathing editorials! It’s no surprise to me that the tech press (which I stopped reading many years ago, present company excluded) continue to overly criticise Apple; they’ve done so since the 1990’s. They grew up hating Ap…

I think a lot of people in the UK and Europe watching this announcement didn’t really see anything particularly innovative here. I already have a card that shows me graphs of my spending, generates a new card number for every transaction, is contact…

Where do I get "robotics kids"?

I wish they'd add sunrise and sunset to their app, and ditch the whole idea of using photos to determine colour. Third party apps (including IFTTT) are ok but unreliable and don't interact well together.

I'm visiting the US again at the end of the year. Can anyone explain how the Muslim test will work? Am I at risk of being tortured?

I forgot to charge my watch for the first time last night and had to live without it today. Today was the first time I've realised how much I use it. For me, being able to glance at my wrist for my next appointment while I'm at work, discretely read…

DDG is useless outside the US
