Let’s not forget this will help finally kill off USB-A and the ports-from-hell duo: mini and micro USB. It’s not just about Lightning. if it takes killing Lightning to get rid of those other two in particular it’s worth it. I can’t believe how ma…

Bad decision. Loot boxes and predatory, exploitative pay-to-progress mechanics via in-game currencies are extremely harmful to at-risk individuals (especially children) and should be banned on moral and ethical grounds if not basic common decency a…

Well “Pro” is certainly not stopping me buying their better products labelled as such, so if that means accepting it then I suppose you’re right, but at the same time it’s still ridiculous marketing. Marketers tend to march to the beat of their own…

Looking forward to the ultra-high detail map arriving in Sydney and Melbourne as was announced during WWDC. The maps are already very good, but I want the same detail as New York/San Francisco/LA etc. Apple has been moving slowly but steadily in t…

Don’t know why, but that 12.9” iPad looks HUGE. Thought you had an unreleased 14 or 15” model!

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…
