sirozha said: If batteries were replaceable, this wouldn't be an issue. You can qualify a battery as a consumable item if it can be easily replaced. Because Apple decided to glue batteries in (both in their phones and in their computers), it'…

I take issue with almost everyone out here. 1) Yes, you can use messages to request someone share their screen with you but it requires someone at the other end. This is not equal to back to my mac. 2) Yes, you can use a service to keep track o…

cpsro said: Yes, the HomePod at least needs a feature akin to Echo skills. Locking out third parties is a shame and a hindrance. It is possible you are correct, or then again, maybe not. The echo and the homePod have two main functions. …

friedmud said: Airplay just isn't necessary... Maybe not but it is convent if you are just sharing a clip of something. You can scan to it on your device and then quickly throw it up to the tv, even if you are deep into an episode of G…

What do people keep down playing the cash back percentage. 2% is as much as the industry gives back on every purchase. Sure it is only on places that Accept ApplePay but that is most places (walmart, lowes and home depot being a few big exceptions).…

gatorguy said: AppleInsider said: Apple also keeps all of your data private, and the issuing bank Goldman Sachs is disallowed from ever sharing or selling that data as well. I don't think that's true. There was very specific wording us…

Interesting to hear the difference, but not compelling because of how different the two products are. But what really surprises me is that you wrote this within a week of when iOS 12 ships and likely the next HomePod update as well. I hope you revis…

lkrupp said: Security? More likely redundancy like the article surmises. I never used it personally but that’s just me. There is nothing redundant about back to my mac. It is totally unique and is not at all file sharing or screen sharing.…

Don't down play this! This was a great tool! It might not have been comprehensive but it just worked without any configuration. If you mom has and desktop and a laptop both signed into iCloud, her desktop would just be there on here laptop and vice …
