Apple's efforts are all about abrasion resistance. That's not at all the same as impact resistance. Cases will still be desirable.

Some repairs might require testing afterwards to ensure that regulatory requirements continue to be met. That's not a DIY job. I went through this discussion with hospital repair staff regarding defibrillators and patient monitors. Some repairs requ…

AppleInsider said: Apple's lease for its Apple BKC store in Mumbai reportedly includes a specific list of 22 competing brands that it will not allow to have any advertising or retail locations nearby. Of the specified competitors, 21 of the …

AppleInsider said: It won't be easy, though, as a September report estimated that it would take Apple approximately eight years to move as little as 10% of its production away from China. That claim is severely at odds with the claim that …

AppleInsider said: Connecting the Stanmore III to a U-Turn turntable yielded great results. I'm not sure what they are, but I think I want one of those U-Turn turntables.

sbdude said: Unless all iPhone 15 models are OLED (or mini-LED, for that matter) I don’t see this as well-executed on the “lesser” iPhones. Without the absolute black you get with an OLED panel, the dynamic island will look funky on an LCD. …

Beats said: I highly disagree with adding an SD card when they could have added an extra USB port. Why please 2% of your users when you can have pleased 98%? This is Apple going backwards post-Jony. You can always find a USB-C to SD adapter …

Beats said: It’s about 3 steps back. I could get really technical but it’s THICKER with less features. Fu**ing ridiculous. The increased thickness IS a feature.
