It’s customary to clap after a film if you liked it and the people who made it are in the theater with you, probably announced, possibly standing up and taking a bow and/or taking the stage to answer questions. If you’ve never been in that situation…

One big potential negative for Apple is that Google just lost the antitrust case regarding its huge payments to Apple and others to be the default search engine on other companies’ devices. These payments have given Apple billions in recurring reven…

Apple cares very much about their Services business, which has better growth and margins than other divisions at Apple, and in many cases yields recurring revenue which shareholders love. And for Services to thrive, they need as many active users on…

This does seem smart. EyeSight is cool, but hardly essential to the user experience, and the next-gen iPhone processors (or subsequent models) should be at least as capable as the M2 in the AVP, especially if they are designed with this application …

iPhones have gotten consistently thicker since iPhone 6, a decade ago, and I still see that as the ideal form factor. The cameras have obviously gotten incrementally better over the years, and water resistance was an important addition, but there’s …

He really puts the “class act” in “class action.”

Much has been made about the thinness of the new models, but coming from a 10.5” iPad Pro, it doesn’t seem like a big difference, probably due to the rounded edges of the earlier model. The new 11” actually feels a little clunkier to me with its squ…

I get the concept, but for a lot of people there’s something inherently disconcerting about seeing a bunch of nice things destroyed, and most ads (including Apple’s) try to make people feel good. If Tesla made an ad with Elon Musk smashing a garage …

Presumably they had to make a few iPads in preparation for tomorrow.

Since 2012, Apple has bought back shares worth $674.9 billion, mostly at a price well below where it’s currently trading, so in retrospect it looks like a pretty good use of the funds, especially since shareholders are taxed on the increased share v…

Seems crazy, but given how long the most recent upgrade cycle was, and the fact that we’re only a few weeks from WWDC and 4 months from the traditional iPhone upgrade season, it doesn’t seem completely impossible. If Apple is on the verge of announc…

If you have the patience, a safer plan is to wait until the thief parks it somewhere (unenclosed), then hop in and drive it away.

The current iPad Air is kind of awkward in the lineup, given that the $599 base model only has 64gb of storage (which probably isn’t enough for most people, especially at that price), and the next level up only costs $50 less than an iPad Pro 128gb …

I’d be interested to see why you say the titanium would be more scratch resistant than stainless steel, which is usually harder and in my experience less prone to scratching. I did a little googling just now, and everything I found supported my unde…

Maybe it’s just a shout-out to Apple Insider.

In those days, Apple designers figured out a number of clever tricks to make things look even thinner than they were, but in the spirit of updated design, a number of these tricks have been abandoned, resulting in products that in some cases look th…
