If the reports of what this is and what it is to be for are true, I shan't be a launch day customer. YMMV; and I'm happy for you if you find a use for such a thing.

The part i find intriguing here is the addition of wifi. The Tech Dudes here likely know this, but I don't: what is a "mesh access point"? is that a wifi range extender only, or if this new box has an ethernet port, can I use it as...an Airport? I s…

Came here just to ask what's in the iPhone 18 Jobs revealed.

Much to unpack here, starting with the source of this rumor, Bloomberg. Anything from that source is suspect. We are on pretty solid ground with accepting that Apple is working on an in-house modem; and it does make sense that it could be used for…

Bloomberg (Gurman's employer) never retracted their story on The Big Hack. Could all this be real? Sure. Specific evidence? All that aside, Apple makes nearly all their products in China. Apple's flagship product is "privacy." Now, while that si…

That linked article in Bloomberg is really idle speculation by the author. (Gurman) There's no evidence anything has recently changed regarding a TV. That said, and as others have commented, there is no real value to Apple to make a TV with a scree…

kinda hope 18.2 brings with it more selective "turn off Apple Intelligence." I've yet to find something I value, and the message "suggestions" were *very* annoying, so I've turned it all off in 18.1. For now. YMMV.

I predict a $20 "stand" for it that will be a spring loaded sandwich base with a little knob protruding to engage to power button. To press the button, you will simply press down on the top of the mac mini case, and release. Voila. And likely the …

I don't see mail summaries at all. No where to be found. Suspect it was removed from 18.1 in the US.

This gives a bit of a hint about what is likely coming: AI enabled blocking, and not just on computers, but on TV as well. A "killer app" for TV would be an ad blocker that mutes selected audio content (can I please have one for Tony Romo and Troy A…

Just from the headline, I'd say they are reporting it because they are experiencing quick battery drain. Just a guess though.

Tim Apple needs to make some more calls to well placed dictators, and dictators-in-waiting.
