sconosciuto said: I wish I could think of a reason to justify buying such a machine. Unfortunately there are still a few Windows apps (not games) that will not run on ARM. I would love to ditch my Intel MBP and iMac and go all in on Apple…

I was force fed one of these by my employer a couple of gens ago as a "free trial" when MS was trying to eat even more into our workplace. I found it incredibly slow and neither suited to be a tablet or a laptop. It went straight back after the tria…

I don't know how the tech press keeps getting away with such ridiculous assertions but they do. It's like people who think we have a functional public health system. Our system is the most expensive with the least basic coverage system among any ind…

I am on 2C54 and I would oddly have one Pod at a low volume and another at a higher volume until adjusting. They could also be a pain to get to connect. 2D15 can't come soon enough for me.

I find it highly unlikely they would release a new product mere months later (same with the iPad Pro). First, has anyone noticed the 25 million or more people out of work? Probably not a good time to launch new products and an even worse time to lau…

What's a Microsoft?

I really want to like Apple News +. I got the three month trial on Black Friday and have been reading it since. Two big issues with it will keep me from paying when my free trial ends. First. I hate the layout. Hate it. Flipboard is far and above my…

I too have really enjoyed this series thus far. And I distinctly recall the shock of the A7. It wasn't just an advance, it was a leap forward that launched Apple well ahead of rivals, some of whom only recently caught up, if they survived at all. …

This feels like we're getting chapters of a book, which DED should consider if he hasn't already. I could see sections on iPhone, iOS, iPad, Mac, MacOS, etc. Telling the story of how Apple took over the world from a more technical point of view woul…

"It was Apple who complicated things by pursuing its silly ‘thin at all costs’ mantra which undermined a generation of Macbooks. Now, with the new MacBook Pro, they are back on track" There is far from universal consensus on this. I personally like…

To blogger critics who have never done anything apart from writing their opinions on a subject, the solutions are simplistic: stop making light and thin machines, go back to using a keyboard from 2015, and add more RAM! Also, be faster with less hea…

Do tell! Facebook illegally or surreptitiously tracks users?!?!? Nobody coulda guessed. The quicker you get off that crap platform the better for your privacy and security.

Pleeese Jeebus, pleeeeze fix Music and syncing through Finder. It is an unholy hot mess. Playlist folders convert to Smart Playlists, syncing never completes, there is no indication in the UI in Finder that syncing is still continuing in Music, and …

Pointing out that the mini contradicted Jobs statement misses the point. The mini wasn't produced because it was a great size. It was produced to squeeze value out of the previous gen chips, something that DED alluded to earlier in the article. At t…

General FYI - "AirPods Pro" is the correct pluralization of "AirPod Pro", meaning there are two "AirPods" rather than two "Pros". This construction in English is consistent with other examples such as "Attorneys General".

Just got mine and the ANC is frighteningly good, as in, loud people walking up behind me at work and I can't hear them. The sound quality is much improved as well, although the trolls will jump on this just to be trolls. I always had problems with m…

Can I get a folding 27" desktop computer? I could fold it to 90 degrees and use the bottom half as a keyboard and the top half of the monitor. I could also use a folding watch screen. When exercising I could fold it in half only to show time and re…
