The obvious next introduction is the 'Apple Vision', i.e. non 'Pro' version and take the product mainstream.

Tim Cook is primarily a logistics man. I am sure he will have been working flat out to rearrange supply routes to minimise the potential effects since Trump's diktat. The last time I bought a MacBook directly from the UK Apple Store, many years ago…

Trump's tariffs only affect goods imported in to the USA. Retaliatory tariffs will affect goods exported from the USA. The bulk of Apple's sales are not in the USA and almost all of its manufacturing is outside the USA. Hence most of Apple's busines…

Forgivably, this report and subsequent discussion has been totally US-oriented. Apple is a truly global multi-national with US sales a minority. I cannot imagine that Trump's authoritarian decrees will much influence Apple's business model - they wi…

Yes an M6 MBA with better power efficiency, no need for an iPhone to tether, a better case design and OLED display would satisfy my '7-year itch' to upgrade my 2020 M1 MBA. Life without a phone would be a step change in my quality of life. Bring it …

"a record-breaking $475 off" and "This matches the lowest price we've ever seen" is a contradiction.

I see no reason to downgrade my M1 16GB/2TB MBA to a cheaper, non-wedge design. The predicted M5 upgrades will not be enough to tempt me either. I am waiting for a physical design better than I already have!

I largely agree with Carisma. Unfortunately, governments always like to consider themselves above the law and that their semi secret services should have access to everything. In Europe we have the conventions on Human Rights and Justice which a…

bluefire1 said: Does the average citizen need the M4 instead of the M3, M2 or M1 MacBook Air? No. I have the M1 MBA with 16GB RAM, 2TB SSD and the superior wedge design. I see absolutely no reason to downgrade to the latest model. It wi…

I have an original M1 MacBook Air, 16GB/2TB, with its perfect wedge shape. I see no reason to renew it until the design of the MBA is improved. From an aesthetics point of view, I would regard the current design a downgrade, regardless of chip.

Lower-end models always get less media coverage. The mid-range always 'the best for most people' and the high-end always 'over-priced'. "Twas always thus and always thus will be". A personal criteria-based examination may reveal the 16e is the p…

I am hardly a fan of the EU, it has over-reached in all sorts of directions, but their regulations are the result of very intelligent committees working for years on fairness and open-competition. Had the EU not had its regulatory powers, the World …

Yes, apart from Jony Ive's deep, monotone voice, it was a very interesting listen. I didn't like his choice of music, other than the recording of his 5 year old son (a first of Desert Island Discs), but that is what Desert Island Discs is all about.…

Really, this is another non-article from AppleInsider. First it suggests that you have to use wired charging with the 16e, which was a little surprising. Then: "If you have to use a Qi charger instead of MagSafe, it will take much longer" So it h…

The cine effect of zooming in while moving the camera away is called the 'Vertigo Effect' pioneered by Sir Alfred Hitchcock in the film of that name, released in 1958. It has been much copied including in Jaws but to attribute the effect to Jaws is …

So many words to say so little, and unbalanced ones at that.

Truly one of the worst app changes Apple has ever made. Where is the menu of my frequently used conversions that I used dozens of times a day? What used to take one click now takes six. Why are running calculations not shown according to BODMAS inst…
