"Dan Ives told CNN that it would take about $30 billion and three years for Apple to move its global supply chain back to American soil." You have misquoted Ives. He said it would take $30billion and three years for Apple to move 10% of iPhone prod…

With both less revenue due to demand destruction and less earnings due to higher taxes, Apple will have less money to invest in American manufacturing. I'd be surprised if Apple actually spends the $500 billion it committed to US expansion under the…

If I understand correctly (and there's little reason to believe I do, this is complex), iPhones will have significantly higher tariffs (54%) than Samsung phones (25%). Throwing the bus keys to Samsung, so they can drive over Apple, doesn't seem very…

I'm afraid the AI explanation for why MagSafe magnets don't affect RF propagation is... wrong. Static magnetic fields don't affect electromagnetic waves. If they did, you'd see them affecting visible light, which is also EM radiation. Both RF and vi…

Me: "Hey Siri...." Siri: "I'm sorry but I can't hear you over these constant scrubbing and clicking noises."

"And then there are thermal considerations. Apple's iPhone 15 Pro was infamous for getting too warm when pushed -- how will a similar chip perform in something even thinner?' It's time for a physics lesson. My iPhone 15 pro measures 77mm wide X 160…

Put the Mac Mini on a spongy pad, with something hard under the power button. Then press down on the entire thing to push the power button against the hard thing. It'll require some fiddling to get it right, but probably less effort than 3D printing…

Siri is always dropping the ball on something. For months now, her weather reports are oblivious to the day's forecast high temps. I'll ask her about the weather in the morning and she'll give the current temperature, then claim it will trend down t…

tht said: Rudimentary math states that 2024-2008 = 16 years. Thinnovation! The wedge shape was retired in 2022, with the introduction of the M1 MacBook Air. One might reasonably wonder why it took AI two years to tell us about it.

I hope they make a short keyboard with black keys.

How would these clones connect to iCloud? You'd think their deception would become obvious the moment you actually tried to use the phone.

Rogue01 said: The Toyota Supra is actually a re-branded BMW Z4. The engine and all electronics are made by BMW. Wireless charging is kind of ridiculous in a car. Go over a bump and the phone moves slightly and no more wireless charging. I…

Siri-HomeKit has been a dumpster fire for our family since inception. Since iOS 17, our Siri capable devices are erroneously waking more often than ever before, even though we've not removed the requirement for "Hey". I can issue a command in the ki…

I don't see how Apple's 30% would apply to Tesla's $10/mo. Tesla charges that fee through their own payment system, for a service that runs independently of Apple. That's entirely as it should be. Amazon doesn't give Apple a slice of Prime membershi…
