I don't see changing the default search engine as a problem but removing Google from the list of available search engines (in Safari) would be a big move. I think the latter would be unreasonable of Apple because, love it or loathe it, Google is the…

Size matters. I bought my SE for its size but the fact that it had a balanced subset of the then 'latest' technology was also important. I shall buy a new SE if the size is right and it has a reasonable subset of 8/X technology. I am more likely to…

I agree with the article, the lead times to these products are starting to look like the long "pre-announce to damage others' sales" that MS used to use (Longhorn anyone?). However, I also have more selfish motives: I think the Apple surprise annou…

I don't see support for Apple Pencil in a new iPad as being a big sales feature to education users without a corresponding price reduction/cheaper model of the pencil itself. I have seen no rumours of a price reduction. Perhaps pencil-support comes…

Sad day, great thinker and such tenacity to beat his illness for so long.

I don't think the target audience for this phone is the readers here. There are some that can't/don't want to use a smart phone and who would love a feature phone (like we used to have...). The key question for that audience is still likely to be er…

I keep meaning to comment on one of the recent AI videos: I really like the practice of including (effectively) the script in words as a complement to the video. This makes it much easier to skim the article and, for me as someone that doesn't much …

negociarlaw said: Mr. Kuo, the SE 2 will have an A11, hd retina, stereo speakers, and better camera system. I have no sources, but it is true. I hope your non-sources are correct. I value my SE for its size (though you won't find me…

To prove that Apple is slowing devices for its own purposes, the lawyers need some evidence. That evidence would be a phone with its original battery suffering slowdown even though that battery was in good condition. I can't see that replacement ba…

I'm deeply opposed to software subscriptions too. If I buy an app but then gradually stop needing/wanting it, I can still access my files and do any minor work at no further cost using my gradually degrading but usually still useful app. If I still…

Setting aside all the distrust of Google, aren't these apps a bit lame? Take a selfie every time there's no movement in the frame, use a finger to run a video backwards and forwards? Where's the need for computer vision or AI (the other AI, that is…

Say what you like, it still looks like the little guy got it first and the big guy wanted it and took it. It's bad PR at minimum.

The iPhone 8 is in a difficult position: a solid evolutionary upgrade overshadowed by new technology in an as yet unavailable device that's grabbed most of the attention. I suspect that this will just mean a slower start to sales than usual and then…
