The Dell 27" USB-C monitors will charge laptops up to 65watts. It will charge the 13" MBP no problem.

Quite frankly, I was surprised Apple released these with the older 8th Gen WhiskeyLake and 10th Gen IceLake CPU’s. I guess they were trying to hit certain price points. I could see Apple releasing an updated 14” MBP, in late 2020, or early 2012, but…

One of my kids recently started a contract position at Apple. She is foreign-born, but was adopted as an infant, so she's a US-citizen. Completed her Computer Science degree in 3.5 years with a 3.78 GPA. Super-talented. I am hoping that Apple offers…

Steve Jobs wanted to donate a computer to every school in the US. In order to make it work financially, Apple lobbied Congress for a tax break. The bill failed in the US Congress, but a similar one passed in the California Legislature. The subsequen…

Zuckerberg just doesn't get it. I hope that the next administration cracks down on Facebook's privacy violations. In fact, we need new legislation to reflect the realities of social media and the digital age...

Seems to me the new iPad Pro, with the Magic Keyboard, is the so called 'ARM-based Mac'. Sure, it's iPadOS not MacOS, but it functions are similar and applications are already plentiful. The biggest issue with a Mac with ARM CPU is MacOS developers …

Here's your ARM-based Mac

Gasse was head of hardware when I worked at Apple. As I recall, he was fired for being a pompous jerk. In any event, Apple is NOT moving from Intel to ARM on a high end product they just recently started shipping. There is no equivalent ARM CPU that…

Right across the street from Penn Station. Perfect location for commuters from Long Island

This would be the second Apple speaker that has failed to get traction. If I was advising them, I would probably kill the HomePod and acquire a company (Sonos would be my first choice) assuming they still want to compete in this category. Just my 2 …

Strong quarter, for Apple, in what is traditionally their best quarter. Good job!

No surprise here. Apple is notorious for it's 'bare knuckle' tactics with suppliers. I worked with some ex-Apple Supply Chain folks and I can tell you that with one exception these were NOT pleasant people to deal with...

It’s an impressive machine for sure. Like I have said many times, it’s a niche machine designed specially for Mac-oriented ‘creators’ with very deep pockets. PC workstations, from Dell, HP, and Lenovo are still a better value and offer more options.…

I used Apple Pay on my recent London trip. In fact, since none of my credit (or debit) cards were 'contectless' Apple Pay was the ONLY way to use the Underground. The London Transit Systems is SO much better than what's here in the Bay Area. My son …

Apple has had operations, in Austin, for over 30 years. Austin is an attractive location for a number of reasons: - Central location within the US - Plentiful land to build new facilities - Relatively affordable housing (as compared to the Bay Ar…

I'm not convinced Apple's 2020 iPhone will have 5G. The availability of 5G has been very anemic and I simply don't see Apple being on the leading edge here. More likely, the 2020 will have USB-C, faster CPU's, better camera, etc. but that 5G is unli…

$3K seems a bit overpriced for the 'mainstream' Consumer and Enterprise markets...

No big surprise that iPhone sales are down YoY. Most users are on a 3-4 year upgrade cycle as opposed to a 2-3 year upgrade cycle. As the market for smartphones matures, innovation slows down and product lifecycles lengthen. This is why Apple's grow…
