Apple do themselves no favours whatsoever with their vetting process. Every week you hear stories of dodgy apps, most far worse than this one, slipping through into the App Store. For a company that makes such an insane amount of money every singl…

My iPhone 14 Pro Max is down to 90% battery health. I’ve never charged it more than once in a 24 hour period. I had it on launch day, so 523 days ago. On that basis the claim of 1000 cycles to 80% certainly seems reasonable.

Reminiscent of Steve Balmer’s response to the iPhone introduction. Steve did have valid points, but by the time the 3GS came out those points all but evaporated and it was game over. The Vision Pro is not going to storm the market as a version one…

kmarei said: "the iPhone 16 not being a compelling upgrade" so pretty much the same as iphone 12, 13, 14, 15 etc? unless you really care about how many cameras on the back? To be fair the iPhone 14 was the worst iPhone update in the histo…

Long story short the companies that are complaining thought, rather naively, that the DMA would force Apple to lower or remove their fees and remove roadblocks. Apple has no intention of making it easy for companies like this. They’ve made it very …

KidGloves said: Surely this can't be true. In my opinion, the iPad Pro is already far too expensive. Adding a keyboard and matching the 256GB you get with a MacBook is £1748 compared to £1149 MacBook Air. That's £600 more and that doesn't eve…

I wish them luck with their fight. From what I have read, they've a genuine case here and Apple knows it.

If the opportunity is tempting enough the gaming companies will come. In the G3-G5 days the Mac market share was insignificant and the effort needed to port games was great, so very few companies did it. In the Intel days the market share was larg…

Interesting that Apple is letting this run so close to the wire here. I guess they are playing hard arse to get a discounted settlement.

Hopefully some bug fixes and speed improvements too. My Series 6 frequently feels sluggish since I updated to Watch OS 10.

Such a shame they never worked out how to do 3D movies without the need for a stupid headset.

Goldman Sachs apparently claim that they have lost billions of dollars on this venture. I'm not sure how this is possible. If the claim was that they'd lost billions of dollars in profits, I'd understand, but to actually lose money seems nonsensical…

I don’t doubt that Apple will get there. Qualcomm makes genuinely good hardware and have an absolute catalogue of patents. Apple needs to work out how to build the modem without stepping on those and that is obviously proving very hard to do.
