What's the rationale behind artists getting paid during the trial period? Apple doesn't make money during the trial period, so why should artists expect to? The way I see it, Apple and the artists are jointly enticing users to subscribe to Apple M…

I see no great benefit from removing the home button. People love buttons. Everyone knows how to use one, you get sensory feedback from it, and pushing a button is satisfying (according to research). So I doubt that Apple would remove the home b…

I'm looking forward to the underground walking directions. I live in New York City and have also lived in Tokyo, and in many of the larger subway/train stations, finding your way to the proper exit is a pain in the ass without specific directions.…

This is good news for iPhone 4S users like me, who are still on the original battery and have to be in Airplane Mode most of the day just to make it through the day without charging. I'm very glad Apple is still thinking of those of us who are on …

I wonder if this is too soon to let developers have native capabilities. Generally speaking, it's often helpful to take small steps when starting something new, in this case, making an app for a new, very small device. It might be in a developer's…

I hope this doesn't mean Jony stops working hands-on in the workshop. He seems to really like that, and losing his skills in that area would not be good.

If they could make this work well, it would eliminate the switching back and forth from trackpad to keyboard that we do a million times a day. It would be convenient and ergonomically better, I think. Over the past year, I have had a mysterious so…

I think it's smart of Apple to market the watch to women. Of the people I know, more women than men use iPhones. I'd guess that this is the case for the public at large, that the percentage of women who use iPhones is greater than the percentage of…

How about this theory: Apple is developing an unmanned car for the purpose of collecting map data. And if that is successful, eventually produce a self-driving car? Kinda like how Apple TV has been a "hobby" for many years, and may or may not turn i…

I understand the practical reasons for moving the Apple logo (i.e., making room for polo shirt buttons), but I like the look of the centered logo better. As others have said, the new placement makes the shirts look generic/corporate. Plus, Apple is …

Very clever idea! Even if you're not pointing it straight forward, it can help you avoid tripping or if you're in New York, stepping on dog doo.

I live in a small town in Japan, and most people here have iPhones. It was a surprise to me, because I had had the media-influenced notion that Japanese did not use the iPhone much. I think Apple's marketshare in Japan can only go up. In general, …

This and a few other of Apple's recent ads have looked very design-y, focusing on line and color. I suspect this is Jony's influence. They're beautiful and clean. But I do miss the wit and inspirational tone of Steve-era ads like "I'm a Mac, I'm…

I think sometimes Steve doesn't get enough credit for his business acumen. If he hadn't been wise and practical enough to make that deal with Microsoft, It's possible that Apple wouldn't have survived. It was an unpopular decision, and it e…
