I am sure an AI lawyer would be cheaper and more effective.

I don't regard 'flat and square' as 'modernisation'. It is a hark back to the awful past. Can you imagine how expensive the more ergonomic 'wedge' MBA was to develop and produce? Layer upon layer of custom lithium-ion flat cells to fit the shape. …

Just how many years can Apple go on thinking that 256GB is sufficient, even for an entry-level model? I know streaming is removing much of the need for storage but most people have a large back-catalogue of DVDs and Blu-rays which we want stored at …

I believe the (wedge) M1 MacBook Air is likely to prove the greatest MBA ever and become a collectors' item. I just have to wait 10-20 years for most to have been disposed of and for mine to be worth a small fortune :-)

There is no future in private cars. I have said it dozens of times on this forum. Self-driving electric cars especially were never going to be commercially or technically viable in the short time-window they had. Apple was blind-sided by the US love…

There is hardly any difference between the MacBook Pro and Air since Apple silicon. One has a fan and the other doesn't. All other differences are purely down to marketing and deliberate product placement. Improved heat sinking would remove the need…

The issue appears to be that Apple has a commercial monopoly in the App Store and the EU considers this unfair. Yet Apple wishes to protect the integrity and security of the user experience by being the gatekeeper. Firstly, you don't have to buy app…

I also have my 1984 Mac bought from Cambridge University when I lived there and they were retiring their original Macs. Apple remain extraordinary in the most ordinary of things. There is more processing power in an Apple power supply plug than po…

The context is that Steve Jobs gave Jony Ive 'god-like' status within Apple to do whatever he wanted in any department. Tim Cook, a logistics man, bore a long-held resentment and, after a dignified pause after Job's death, sacked Ive. It would be no…

"because Apple calls it Machine Learning instead of AI" Machine learning is a minuscule sub-field of the field of AI! It so happens that the speed of devices affordable to consumers have made ML feasible in recent years so it is currently making al…

I simply won't touch anything with a subscription except basic utilities (gas, electric etc.) If it is a magazine sub, I will take their-loss leader and note in my calendar when I must cancel. Apps on a sub are like gym membership for most - you go…

Is being able to connect to iCloud evidence enough that your iPhone is not a fake?

Ofer said: Any chance of the periscope lens technology being evolved within the next couple of years to enable an adjustment of the distance between the lens elements so that you have a true variable zoom lens in an iPhone? No. The whole p…

40 years ago, Apple was a far less global company. 'Super Bowl' is US-only and irrelevant to the vast majority of Apple's market. .

You can be sure the most valuable company in the World that happens to use batteries in almost all its products is researching battery technologies. However, there are limitations and risks. At the limit, you could have a nuclear powered phone but i…

32" is the new 27". You'll pay for it but get the best all-in-one money can buy, at any price, and it should last 20+ years. Next on the culling list is the Mac Studio. When a 14" MacBook Pro can outshine a Mac Pro in reported benchmarks, then the …

5nM/3nM = 1.6 recurring, suggesting a move from the 5nM process to the 3nM process would yield a 67% improvement in speed/power ratio. We are not seeing that. If you delve into the TMSC public documentation on their timelines, we see it is far mor…
