I don't see the logic here. Since these are foreign entities, doesn't that leave the tools and capabilities available to everyone except the US? As a foreigner, I would think the US would want, eg, NSA, to have access even if only to develop counte…

So Clegg is opposed to Apple offering its customers privacy, actually a privacy choice (there is a switch but I guess that doesn't fit into FB's argument). I hope for his sake that they're paying him a lot of money because his credibility is gone.

This is typical Apple, provide what most customers really need rather than chasing the biggest numbers. I think the SD slot is mostly targeted at photographers. Modern mirrorless cameras need very fast cards to support their high burst rates but th…

The size of the notch is interesting as it's bigger than you'd expect just for a camera. Perhaps someone wants software to cope with a notch and not need to change again if the notch size changes. I wonder what might fit in a bigger notch.

I bought the first MBP with a Touch Bar shortly after it was released. I assumed that Apple had a cunning plan for the Touch Bar that would more than compensate for its disadvantages - turned out that they didn't. Touch ID, on the other hand, is rea…

So that's things that PCs do and Macs don't. I wasn't as excited as the "users" in the ad, the only one that attracts me is the wider choice of games. The hardware items only make sense until you think about actually using them. Why would I want a …

Having images on your phone, be they real or engineered false matches, is not the issue. Apple says that the algorithm will only be invoked when you try to upload the image to iCloud. I'm guessing you might have twigged what's happening before you t…

I'm disappointed that Apple is doing this, mostly because I like some refuge from adverts but also because it's another differentiator gone. Apple rising above such things as self-advertising was part of the appeal of the "different" thinkers.
