Unfortunately, I share the pessimism of most commentators here. There’s been no rush to adopt Apple silicon versions for games that already have Intel Mac versions, let alone those that aren’t on the Mac at all. The games that do tend to get Mac v…

So they’ll replace a soon-to-be 4 year-old chip that first appeared in 2018 iPhones with a 2 year-old chip that debuted in 2020… in 2023? And they call that caring about the product and moving it forward? That’s just laughable. Is the Apple TV th…

They didn’t listen to my request to bring back optical audio.

How does the author reconcile the headline: "The best iPad for nearly everyone" with almost the entire content of this review? Clearly if it was the best for nearly everyone, hardly anyone would choose to buy the more expensive models.

So my 16” MacBook is finally going to be significantly deprecated? Oh well, it’s been a good run: nearly 2 years as the current model, and is still good for many things, especially productivity applications. I also use Windows a lot. Probably mor…

What she describes sounds (unfortunately) typical of most corporates and is very believable. I can imagine working for an employer that has such a comprehensive—even overwhelming—employee monitoring capability, and an internal crack squadron of “ t…

So mock-ups are leaks now?

That’s something a CGI cyborg would say. #wakeupsheeple

Every “freemium” game with consumable in-app currencies—where it’s possible to spend an unlimited amount of money very quickly—is a slimy scam app; and Apple promotes these heavily. They are built to employ addictive elements and target people with…

These are such bullshit responses from Apple, but not at all surprising. Their default response is always: it’s the user’s fault. The vast majority of people use their products normally and don’t set out to break them. Even those that are unduly …

But who carries their phone around (outside at least) without a case? These devices are way too expensive to risk dropping onto pavement without protection. I suppose if you buy AppleCare+ and you’re rich enough to be able to buy a new phone on th…

Back when you had a real sense of ownership in the product you were buying. Now these free annual updates and systems-as-a-service don’t feel the same. Restoring macOS on old macs has become almost impossible as well. Stories like this highlight …

The iPad Pro is becoming an ever more ridiculous product, especially the higher-end models. They’ve got literally exactly the same processor as a desktop iMac and MacBook Pro, but still only have the highly locked-down iPad OS, where you can only r…

I still can't get over the white bezels. All Apple laptops and iMacs have had black bezels for a while... for good reason. But I'm not nor will I ever be in the market for an iMac. It's a budget computer (relatively) so you have to accept a cheap…

Can it be 10 weeks? I’ll even settle for 10 months!

“Apple” and “rugged” strike me as two words that are mutually exclusive/incompatible. Sure, they may want to make a watch that looks rugged (and even that I doubt) to chase the rugged wearables market, but I don’t believe it’s in their DNA (to para…
