  • Jony Ive removed from Apple's leadership page, marking the end of an era

    "However, it's hard not to see Design as being something less important now in Apple. It's hard to see it as something even approaching as crucial as it used to be."

    I'm not sure I agree with this.  There are more design ideologies/methodologies in the world than Jony Ive's and Steve Jobs', both of whom I have immeasurable respect for.
    You know why he left, right? Tim Cook and the Co rejected many designs from Ive: iPhone SE 2 was real and same doe many other designs that were leaked. What do you think Apple had the same phone physical platforms for 3-4 years now (4, 4S, 5, 5S then 6, 6S, 7, 8, then X, XS, 11)? It’s because Ive’s designs were rejected. I could understand his frustration. We could’ve had more phone designs if Ive’s ideas didn’t get rejected.

  • Apple's brawny 5G iPhone family will require larger, pricey motherboards

    Yeah? But after like 16GB, they throttle the speed to 3G by most carrier...it’s mostly no benefit vs 4G LTE

    $649 for a Chromebook? They will sell dozens of these.   /s
    I don't think they'll ever be big sellers. There's so many very good Chromebooks available already. But I've used one for going on 5 years now and it covers every single need I've had at home, other than my dedicated system used for higher end photo-processing. Either my wife or me uses our Pixelbook a couple hours every evening and it's solid. 

    Cheap for what it is IMO.
    I have one too. It’s okay for writing the odd email or document, not so good though if you have to try and work with a document created on a PC or Mac unless it only contains text. My daughter tried using it for her college work and it couldn’t handle the online resources that had been created in Microsoft Office, even using the web version of Office. Her iPad opened them up with no problems. She has now bought herself a MacBook Air, for not much more than the PixelGo. 
    That’s what she should’ve done to begin with. I got 2019 Macbook Air at pretty much $650...sort of. Apple had promotion to give free Beat Studio 2 ($350) for buying a Macbook when the Air was released. I got in the link for student purchase at $999 for both. Best deal ever!
