Because I always carry my iPhone in my pocket, the charging point tends to get gummed up with lint. So I never use the physical charger on my iPhone any more. Charging overnight is fine when you have a battery that lasts all day.

My thinking on Tim Cook in 2021: https://forums.appleinsider.com/discussion/comment/3330877/#Comment_3330877 Back then I said the most important next step for him -- after many accomplishments-- was to pick a successor. I don't think he should b…

Apple's silicon design team appears to be among the strongest teams in the company, and among the best silicon design teams in the world (if not the best). I wonder if Apple will buy or build their own fab so that they are both designing and manuf…

Oh, and yeah, m4 cores are faster.

Penzi said: @Blastdoor I, also, am intrigued by your use case where, I assume, you wire two Mac minis together (Ethernet? Thunderbolt?) and also as to why, for the exact same price, having the exact same number of CPU cores make the mini mor…

I was poking around Apple's website and an interesting comparison is the M4 pro Mac mini to the base M3 Ultra Mac Studio. For the same price as the base M3 Ultra Studio (ie, $4000), you can get two $2000 M2 Pro Mac minis with the 14 core CPU, 20 c…

MacPro said: Had the latest Studio been an M4 Ultra, I'd have changed up my M2 Ultra, I don't see the 30% gain is worth the cost (trying to convince myself here). I really should wait for what comes next in the Ultra range. M5 or M6? Wh…

Would have been nice to get M4 Ultra, but the Studio with the base M3 Ultra looks pretty appealing to me. I work for a private firm that has lost a lot of revenue due to arbitrary DOGE contract cancellations, so my job is currently at risk. But if…

I wonder how the camera in the 16e compares to the three cameras in the 13 pro. Anybody know?

Steve Jobs had claimed that Apple would run the App Store at break-even. I don't know if he would have maintained that position over time, given the amount of money that would have left on the table. Another Steve Jobs position was that Apple woul…

Anything that nudges entitled gen Z types to be independent adults is fine by me.

I perceived LTE to be a major improvement over 3G. I don’t perceive an improvement with 5g at all. So from my point of view I’d definitely LTE performance in exchange for longer battery life.
