I think the Lightning connector is physically superior to USB-C (having used an all-USB-C MBP since late 2016). I do see the need for USB-3 speeds, especially when setting-up a new phone or pad, but I continue to believe that Apple could engineer th…

crowley said: Isn't Open Street Map a thing? I think Apple was even using it for a while (though did they ever contribute back?) Indeed it is: https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=6/54.915/-3.428 and its existence is relevant to the proposa…

darkpaw said: Apple did the right thing here. Tumblr did the right thing here. I agree. There are often shades of grey around "unacceptable" content and it's not ideal for Apple to be the one doing the policing but this case is clear: the…

Firstly, thanks for a fun article. My scoring was 7 to the iPhone and 4 to the Pixel, with a draw on the car park photo (I actually thought they were both pretty poor but the article suggests that's what the conditions were). I was left wanting to…

gutengel said: Lightning is a better design, smaller and more resilient compared to USB-C. If this is true, I wonder what would be the strategy to switch all their line of accessories, keyboards, mice, Beats, etc. That's certainly my expe…

mjtomlin said:Both of these are based on assumptions that Apple is incapable of updating Lightning to support USB 3.x (Lightning currently supports USB 2.x), which his much more important than supporting USB-C. USB-C is just a physical port. Ap…

T.j.p. said: All that will happen is Apple products will cost 2+% more rounded up to the next marketable price. Who pays this tax? People who buy Apple products, not Apple. The UK is wanting more money from its citizens. They know Apple will …

Great comparison, thanks. I have only been shooting stills but your pair of reviews (video/still) has shown the Xs struggling in some low light scenarios (with flash in the case of stills). I have seen this too on what is otherwise a game-changing …

The new legislation in Europe is similar: an organisation can only use your data if there is good reason to think that you expected them to (eg you supplied an address for them to use for a reply) or if you gave explicit permission. Opt-out tick box…

Well done Apple. Hopefully there'll be a bunch of similar tuning/bug fixing changes to improve an already excellent camera system.

Bit of a muddled start to this article: "Rumors ... suggest Apple intends to swap out its proprietary Lightning connector for the faster, more robust USB-C protocol". Both Lightning and USB-C are connectors, each can carry several protocols. Lookin…

PhillyJim said: So that was a little confusing. There is landscape mode in the iPhone XS max or not? I’ve been told there isn’t, and when I went to look at it at the Apple store I couldn’t get it to go into landscape mode. I think the auth…

Thoughtful article, thank you. Google's appropriation of Java does seem to me to be morally, even if not legally, wrong and I respect Oracle for pursuing the case. That said, I'm not sure that (hypothetically) abandoning Android would be an adequat…

Nice sting. I hope there is an update from Apple all the same, I find that the Xs is not as good as my previous SE in very dim conditions: where the SE got the exposure right almost always, the Xs consistently, and badly, under-exposes. This is an …

jbdragon said: There still the cost of the parts. There are also costs in licensing fees for each phone. There are labor costs. Packaging costs. Production line costs. R&D costs. Whatever else!!! One thing is for sure, Apple is at l…
