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…

M68000 said: To me, the question is about form factor. Is the iconic wedge design gone forever? I own two MacBook Airs and they’re precious to me. Simply the best laptops I’ve ever used. But, if the new ones have the same shape and weight…

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…

Markov chains! Within a few notes a Markov chain can identify not only the song but also the version of the song from everything ever recorded (and on the database). Markov chains can also be used in a generative mode, an early example being the C…

From someone outside the U.S. (I am from England), I find it baffling that Trump 1) would even stand as a candidate to be president and 2) would actually be elected! Why is American politics all about money? It appears the mega-rich pay in and get w…

I won't be 'upgrading' my M1 MacBook Air ('the last of the wedges'). I welcome the Center Stage addition but I already have Center Stage with the Studio Display that my MBA drives. I still regard the M1 MBA as the pinnacle of Apple design. After Jon…

The article is full of comments and opinions that will be out of date extremely soon. Apple subsidised the CD-ROM optical drive market before PC users knew of their existence and discontinued them just as PC users expected them as standard. Thunde…

Just like I got the 'peak design' MacBook Air - the M1 - and won't be selling it any time soon, I believe I also have the peak design iPhone, the iPhone 15 Pro Max. Everything goes in cycles and Apple has been looking unsteady since Jony Ive left. A…

For the price, Apple could have included a code to download their 'Best 100 Albums' rather than just read about them.

"While both Apple and Android smartphones can take pretty impressive pictures and video, they are by no means a worthy substitute for DSLRs, Superzooms, action cams and other types of cameras." There are a dwindling number of use-cases for when an …

The Mac Mini acquired its original dimensions due to the need to incorporate an optical drive. It was perverse that it retained its dimensions after the optical drive was removed - Apple's usual inertia when it comes to updating the Mini. The Mac …

The Mac Mini has stayed the same shape and size since the days when it incorporated an optical drive. A size reduction is 14 years overdue. Then they can either make the 'Studio' Mini-sized or just eliminate it as a bad idea.

This article appears to be a very bad re-write of the iPhone 15 vs 14 Pro Max article. It makes no logical sense and there is no substantive narrative.

I have an M1 MBA 16gb/2TB and wonder how long I will have to wait before Apple produces something that will actually excite me enough to upgrade? Regarding fans, once you have been fan-less, there is no going back. Like children, computers should …

As with all things Mac Mini, this is well-overdue. Designed as a cheap Mac to encourage switchers, Apple has always treated the Mini as the child it wish it never had. mike1 said: What would be the 24" - 27" monitor of choice to pair this…

I am dyslexic. When I was an academic, forever having to write papers for publication, I relied heavily on others to proof-read my papers. I am hoping that this update will take their place. Common errors I make, apart from not being able to spell l…

To make the Mac forever more 'iPhone' is a terrible mistake. It makes the Mac harder to use and makes it more and more redundant. If I wanted an iPhone as my main computing device, I would just use my iPhone! The Mac should have distinct modus opera…

It makes perfect sense to me. Apple is the company that taught Intel that performance per Watt was more important than performance. If Apple can obtain one year's plus supply exclusively of the 2nM chips, they can go places that no competitor can fo…
