Gotta pay for that Stephen A. Smith salary somehow.

I love the technology and the potential of the TouchBar but personally don't find it very useful. To me, the biggest drawback of the TouchBar was that it's treated as an extension of the keyboard. The power of the keyboard in many people's eyes is…

How is this app that much different any app that has 'everything-and-the-kitchen-sink' built into them (like Facebook had they not broken Messenger out into a separate app)? And why is WeChat so popular in China? What's to prevent the latest and…

I've long argued that Apple needed their entry level laptop to come in at under $1K and stay there. Not only does this latest MacBook Air update achieve that mark, with a retina display and 256GB SSD hard drive there isn't much reason left to upgra…

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Long overdue, but I won't complain, just glad that we got it at all.

Great announcement, it shows that Apple is still willing to bring the premium features of the iPad line down to the entry-level devices of the platform over time, increasing the attractiveness of the iPad line to a wider audience. Hopefully we will…

Fantastic review! I particularly loved the "Day in the Park" section which gives us a glimpse of what life without our phones and just the Watch can be like. Great observation about having everything you usually need from the phone except for the …

I feel like the article is implying that iOS 11 will benefit users of the pro models more than the new entry-level model, but besides taking advantage of the beefier hardware specs on the Pro models is there anything in iOS 11 that won't work on ent…

Well this is surprise, but great to see. Anytime Apple throws a bone to the power users these days is a welcome sign.

To me this is very simply just a lower entry point for those people who are not in the iPad ecosystem yet or those who are but only need to add a simple iPad at a low cost. If you're an existing iPad owner and want to upgrade, your upgrade path alr…

Not having iChat tie into iMessage would be a major lost opportunity. In fact, I don't know why they would: a) release iMessage without the tie-in with iChat, as it's a logical step and greatly enhances the feature for both Macs and iDevices b)…

Correct me if I'm missing something, but why should Apple bring out a CDMA phone to the states in January when all the carriers will be on 4G by the end of the year? Quote: Originally Posted by Cpsro Let me guess. Verizon wants to maintain i…

1) Looks like the return of AutoDesk is distinctly tied to iDevices as much as it is to the Mac platform itself. Before anyone screams bloody murder, there is nothing wrong with this and it's far better than a developer pursing just the iOS instead…

I just don't see this panning out. While MS is starting to "get it" when it comes to creating a mobile platform that both the Zune and WinMobile share that also leverages some of their key desktop technologies (although I would argue they "copied i…
