And how much tax did Apple Pay the UK government ? Hardly any. All sales are routed via Ireland with a 10% corporation tax rate. Can’t really blame Apple for taking advantage of ridiculous tax laws though. No wonder the UK is going broke though wi…

The US is in a fortunate position price wise in terms of value. As someone outlined with the the cost of the X model compared to now, and that’s true. Other countries not so much. It doesn’t matter that the £/$ ratio is largely £1.28 to the $ now (…

Promotion to remain on the $1K + pros only …. a feature you find on pretty much most mid or even lower end Androids. I’ve even seen basic 90hz refresh on bargain basement androids. I would have expected the regular 15 to have either full promotion…

Still waiting for any form of Apple Card or financial product in the UK. Given up hope.

I really hope the actual play area isn’t restricted to 1/3 of the screen like it shows at the end with a narrow channel to actually run up through. It should be full screen and parallax scroll in every direction like gauntlet or the chaos engine sty…

“ Plus, most daily tasks will be single-core tasks yielding a slightly snappier machine for common use cases.” So most users won’t notice one iota of difference from an M1 Pro MBP. What they will notice is the price hike , certainly in the UK and E…

I looked at buying an m2 MacBook Pro 16GB/1TB machine … £2900 Crazy. Ordered an M1 MacBook Pro instead with the same 16GB/1TB and saved £900 compared to buying the M2 version. Very happy with it. Won’t miss the new features of the m2 machine, and…

Not surprised. A lack of innovation (certainly looking at you Apple Watch which has barely changed since the Series 6 for the regular edition) and a hike in prices is the reason why. The high dollar means Euro pricing is borderline ridiculous for ma…

Amazing really considering most countries are experiencing a cost of living crisis with energy and interest rates spiralling upwards. The fact that people still prioritise £/$/€ 1000 phones is quite surprising.

It’s a huge disappointment, and frankly I expected way better from Apple. 5K retina style does look awesome and that’s all this screen has going for it. Whether that’s worth £1600 is another matter. The price gauging for a decent stand that any ot…

I have both the new mini and a paper white bought back in 2020. For me I always choose the kindle to read on. Just easier in the hands (weight & size) and on the eyes. They are always on sale a few times a year too. It’s only downside is the UI…

An insane price for a monitor that can only do 60hz. Even my current monitor can do 144hz and it’s so much nicer on the eyes. Although it’s not 5K. Cost a fraction of the price though and has Gsync / active sync. It may not be in the same class co…

No reason why a company like Apple couldn’t embrace more WFH on a majority basis for employees where it doesn’t impact the outcomes (or even enhances productivity), and combine it with team building events in the office where needed. Our team is ma…

I should add the S7 moved the image slightly every so often so it didn’t “burn in” the screen. I expect Apple will do something similar.

I had this on my Samsung S7 , Yonkers ago. About time Apple ! Really liked it on that phone.

Doubt it matters at this point. Don’t give too much credibility to anything you read. Just expect an unbelievably high price tag when it does finally launch and to do stuff you never even knew you wanted. can’t say I’m a believer in the concept at …

For me the new MBP isn’t that appealing. The extra $ over the air doesn’t really give much. Lost count how many times the review said “and the fan didn’t even come on”. Indeed. Just get the air. Air screen is decent anyway. Never seen such parity …
