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…

@crowley is right. For the others who replied above: so long as Apple and Epic do business in Australia--which they do--they are bound by the relevant local trade and other laws that apply here. If Epic wishes to argue for a breach of those laws t…

I think in some cases (or even many) such vulnerabilities are deliberately implemented to satisfy (secret) NSA requirements. I don’t believe major global mega-corporations like Apple are that incompetent to miss such alarming total vulnerabilities …

Mike Wuerthele said: There are no conditions "required and imposed" by Apple, other than an embargo time and date. Interesting. But still, you don't want to be too critical right? Don't want to get on Apple's bad side lest you get dropped …

I can only assume that since there's a lengthy review with professional photos ready on launch day, that AI (like the other big tech sites) manage to get review units early from Apple. As such, I don't personally care much for these launch-day revi…

To be honest, the iPad Pro would be more compelling if it could run macOS. Maybe that’s what this is about.

First impressions are pretty positive. The "More space" UI scale on my 16" MacBook is more usable now. Previously the text was a bit too small. Icons are ok I guess. I had to move the Messages and FaceTime icons apart on the Dock because they lo…
