And sometimes there's a lot to be said for a cable. I still don't get the allure of having a pad so you can't just lie the device on edge wherever convenient and which still takes a power point. Perhaps someone at Apple agrees?

I have always assumed that Apple rolls all these functions into iTunes because of the Windows angle. Anyone with an iPod, and nowadays an iPhone etc, pretty much has to load iTunes onto their computer. If that computer happens to be a Windows PC, i…

Soli said: Adding to your comment about not actually owning SW, there are a lot of people that seem to be fine with having subscriptions to iCloud, Dropbox, Netflix, Hulu, etc. Why are those acceptable when you can buy movies and TV shows…

welshdog said: Somebody who either is a developer or knows people who are, tell me something. Isn't this move to subscription based apps just a way for developers to make more money? And to do it knowing they kind of have customers over a b…

This is patentable? Distinguish people by their voices and treat them differently: a human behaviour applied by a digital assistant. I would have thought that this fell squarely into the "obvious to an expert in the field" category that, at least i…

netrox said: Context needs to be given in this article. Originally, when apps were created, Apple does not allow developers to charge for major upgrades of the same apps. That meant that developers could not charge again ever. Now, we…

sflocal said: Yeah, and 99% of them are either media people or users that just want to play with it. And I wonder how many of them know what "beta" means. Are they really all running it on non-critical secondary machines? And does Apple ac…

Sorry to disagree but that looks like an improvement to me. The camera icon normally means "use the camera": that is, take a picture. Using the photos icon to mean "use one of my photos" seems more intuitive to me. I suspect that the previous ope…

When comparing audio systems, it is essential to equalise the sound levels of the systems. At all reasonable levels, a louder playback will gain a quality advantage; this is down to the extra detail revealed by boosting the volume of the quieter par…

Apart from improving its still somewhat hit and miss accuracy, I see lack of a Streetview-style facility as Apple Maps' biggest drawback. This story hints that it might be coming which would be very good news. I hope Apple is dedicated to maintainin…

Y2K? Not a bug? That's the trouble with pre-empting trouble, no-one gives you credit for it in the way they do the cinematic hero saving the world at the last minute. We should avoid rewriting history. Y2K was a systematic set of shortcomings in sy…

2 points that makes Google Maps much more useful than Apple Maps. - the global coverage. Apple announces support for public transport city by city, Google does it country by country. At the pace Apple is announcing a global coverage of public…

I prefer to think of this as keeping out the bad guys. In my book, in the UK, that doesn't include the security agencies. YMMV. However, it's a Good Thing that Apple is doing this, the agencies should have (be given) different and better methods. I…

Good advice. May I add my pet hate: And when you hit problems, don't make posts claiming that you're "running macOS Mojave" because you're not. That post will still be there when people really are unning macOS Mojave and will cause all manner of con…

I thought it was us Brits who were supposed to see the black cloud around every silver lining! There is a world-wide malware threat to WiFi routers so the FBI puts out a warning and some easily understood, easily actioned advice to US citizens. Isn…

I keep meaning to comment: Thanks for including transcripts of the videos in these articles. In this case, I didn't have the time to watch the video and really appreciated being able to skim the main points by looking at the text. I know you've been…

spice-boy said: I had moderately high hopes for Apple News but I have all but stopped using it. Likewise. In the UK it's pretty poor (IMHO) and ads are just going to make it less attractive. If Apple wants to make a success of it, shouldn…
