This is a true advantage Apple's iOS has over Android. I think they've damaged their advantage somewhat by the number of bugs in iOS 11, especially early on. I hope that iOS 12 is released with significantly less negative drama. Still, Apple should …

I got mine replaced when it started getting flaky. The new one isn't quite as flexible, so when I use it on a flat surface, the keyboard wants to come up a few millimeters off the table.

Here's the trouble I see. Snapchat made its mark being the service for teens and those in their twenties to share temporary private stuff (and parts). Its popularity depended in large part on being opaque and confusing to their parents. Snapchat no…

As long it it costs a ton of money to unlock an iPhone, and Apple is free to continue locking its system down harder in response, I'm fine. I think Apple should be free to try to make its phone impenetrable, and people should be free to attempt to …

I'm pretty sure that Consumer Reports was once a valuable resource for people deciding what to buy. In any case, these days, they are only relevant because of their past. I treat their reviews at about the same level as a blogger I've never heard o…

I get why they're doing this (or might be doing this, really). If their biggest competitor has a smart speaker that doesn't work with their service, it could cut them out of the market. However, I agree with the others here. It's very unlikely they…

Finally, a product that I don't need to worry about whether I want it or not.

I think it's a conscious decision by Apple around the time that Forstall left. Apple management decided it was better to move faster to add features than it was to make sure that all features were well implemented and solid. Apple has adopted a more…

I understand why they did this, but it's the wrong attitude. Probably more than half the people who like Sonos speakers also like the Apple ecosystem. An attack on Apple feels sort of like an attack on their choice. Their actual strategy with produ…

Interesting. I had my iPhone battery replaced. It supposedly was at 86% capacity (as reported by Coconut battery), but it seemed to run out quickly. I also had 400+ charge cycles on it. For $29, it was worth a try, especially because I'm planning to…

This seems like too much work for now; however, High Sierra is definitely buggy. Since updating, about 2 to 4 times per week, my computer doesn't wake from sleep. My two cents is to stay on plain old Sierra unless you have a pressing need to upgrad…

I'm all over this, except no 3D touch is strange. Makes me think that Apple will never make 3D more than it is right now -- a very minor feature. Other than that, I think this phone is a good idea. It allows Apple to stretch its range of product pr…

I wonder when radio-transparent metal will be ready: https://www.technobuffalo.com/2015/06/21/apple-invents-metal-like-material-that-doesnt-block-wireless-signals/
