I think I will finally upgrade my late 2012 iMac. The 27" model with 8-core i9, 8GB RAM, and 1TB SSD + extended keyboard = $2,939 with the institutional discount but before AppleCare and tax. If it's confirmed that the RAM is user-upgradeable, then …

I'd rather buy the WD My Passport external SSD with the 512GB model going for about $105. If I need speed, I dare say I'd seriously consider the Samsung X5 TB3 SSD. It's pricey though, with the 500GB model going for about $250

I don't frequent Starbucks, but the last time I was there, I didn't think they even accepted ApplePay at the POS terminal. So, I used ApplePay to load up my Starbucks app, and paid with that. Checking Starbucks website, it said they planned a nation…

Not trying to defend BMW here, but here's a possible scenario. Present Model - Customer continually leases BMW after BMW, each time paying the $300 for CarPlay capability. After leasing two cars, his cost was $600.Subscription Model - After leasing …
