Half an inch may not sound as if it should set the world alight, but try comparing the two and you'll see the new one is enormously better. Hmm. It is only 10% more square inches and 11% more pixels. Like the commenter above, I don't reall…

Interesting that CR decided sound quality was more important than user experience for headphones but not for the homePod.

News+ is not an “it just works” solution. I would have paid $10 for the paywalls in News to go away. Why would I pay if I still have to deal with that?

This article misses a key selling point of the Air and I am concerned Apple has to. The MBA was perfect for ordinary academic workflow: small, light, cheap, versatile, nice keyboard, and because it didn’t have to power a retina screen, fast and long…

The phone sex industry will be devastated if people need two hands to hold their phones.

Ireland encouraged corporations to bring business to Ireland with favourable tax laws. Apple brought business to Ireland. If the EU determines that Ireland's laws are too favourable, and are unfair to other EU members, then EU can put pressure on Ir…

In the words of Frank Zappa, it is the job of NSA and AT&T, apparently, to "enforce all the laws that haven't been passed yet."

I still use Omnigraffle. And I don't mind paying for good software. But I do feel that, to a certain they have lost their way after such a good start. They were sucked into the "let's keep adding features and pretend it is not less usable" hole. Omn…

I was a little excited to try Office Lens. It is undoubtedly more useful with an MS account. Without it, you can't do anything but email a jpg. It wasn't easy to get it to take the whole page. It kept trying to take just pieces of the page, like a p…

As far as I can see the fraud doesn't affect people who us Apple Pay, it affects people who have had their credit card info stolen by another route. A thief can use stolen cards (or card info) for Apple Pay transactions. Since Apple Pay reduces oppo…

My family of four has purchased, since 2003, 2 full size iPods, 4 Shuffles, 4 Nanos, 3 iPod touches, and we just purchased our 4th iPhone. The shuffles and the touches are in drawers but the rest are still in nearly daily use.

iPhone is and has been hugely popular in China. However, a number of carriers in China have recently been giving away pretty good Android phones for free. I believe this will slow iPhone sales growth in China. I think the trajectory will still be up…

Our family of four. 1 Macintosh PPC 5400 1995: Still running. Kids still play Lemmings on it. 1 PowerBook 3400 1997: Keyboard died in 2009. I recycled it. 1 iMac G3 2001: Ran fine when I gave it to a school in 2010. 1 iPod 2003. Replaced the b…

There is no way they will name it iPad HD and continue selling iPad 2, because it is not clear from the name, to non-Apple fanatics, which is better. Person 1: Got me an iPad HD. Person 2: Well, I got me an iPad 2. Person 3 won't know who to …
