  • Iconic 'Trash Can' Mac Pro is now on Apple's vintage products list

    The design was too advanced for Intel chips and regular GPUs. Imagine a cylindrical Mac with an M series chip. Maybe they should release an "Anniversary Edition" with an M4 Max or M5 Pro or Max, or even an M series Ultra chip.

  • Tim Cook isn't going to get fired, and Steve Jobs isn't rolling over in his grave

    lotoneslotones
    I loved Steve, and I'm an unapologetic Tim Cook fan. People who criticize TC are ignoring how absolutely worse things could have gone AS (After Steve). Just look around at all the embarrassing CEO bros and their companies that have either already crashed and burned, or those who are so damn jealous that they are willing to burn billions copying and/or suing Apple like spoiled children. They all want to be in the position Apple is in, and Tim Cook is how Apple got there.

    Picking Tim was the single best decision Steve ever made. That's what "genius" looks like.

  • Is the Apple One subscription worth it in 2025?

    lotoneslotones
    When I started with Apple One I was already paying for iCloud storage and Apple TV, and I was curious about Apple Music. Apple One offered both Apple Music and Arcade for only $5 more a month, so it was a no brainer.

    The price has gone up a bit like everything else, and I hardly use Arcade, but I love Apple Music. Just having all my scratchy soul and funk from back in the day sound brand new is worth the price of admission alone, not to mention stuff I never got around to buying and new music also. All without leaving the house.

  • Craig Federighi says macOS would ruin what makes the iPad special

    lotoneslotones
    I see his point. Give your average 4 year an iPad and they'll have it figured out in minutes. Even the most tech phobic elders can get around on an iPad. Why alienate those users just to make iPad the same as a Mac? Maybe give the MacBook Air a touchscreen and a fold-back keyboard for those who insist on macOS on iPad.

    That said, I'll never forget watching my friend's toddler who couldn't talk yet and barely walk, wobble over to his mom's iMac and click the mouse to restart his YouTube cartoon. So maybe macOS isn't as complicated as they think.

  • A new scam is targeting iPhone users with fake traffic fines

    lotoneslotones
    California here... I've gotten at least 4 of these in the last month or so. It's obviously a scam because the DMV doesn't text people here for overdue fines, at least not here in CA. Also, why would I have an overdue toll if I haven't crossed a toll bridge here in ages?

    It just annoying to have to keep deleting and reporting as junk when that doesn't seem to help.
