  • Canadian PM Justin Trudeau busted using fake Mac with Apple sticker

    amar99 said:
    Lmao, doubters. So when have you last seen a Mac of ANY model with that many ports on the RIGHT side of the device? Even my 10 year old 17 inch MacBook Pro has all of its ports on the LEFT side.
    My 2015 15" MBP has (from back to front)  USB Type A, HDMI, SD Card Slot, so 3 ports on the right hand side. 

    On a side note, all three of our officials in Quebec (premier François Legault, health minister Christian Dubé and head of public health Horacio Arruda) all come out on stage sporting their iPad Pros with Magic Keyboard. Pretty sure it's the A12Z model due to the camera bump (two lenses plus Lidar).

  • Apple's iMac predicted to overtake HP and lead the All-in-One market

    For comparison HP All-in-one computers start at $600, the cheapest iMac is $1300.
    Of the 9 All-in-one computers from HP, more than half are under the $1,300 price point.

    I dare say the revenue in this category is vastly different between the two companies.
    Here is the $600 HP all in one.



    Intel i3.......Hmmmm OK!
    DVD Writer .........   :D
    Full HD (1920x1080) ......... 'nuff said.

    I'm sure it has its market somewhere but we can easily why it costs that little.

  • Apple's Lisa Jackson says a green economy is better for the planet and business

    I just saw last night, the latest AppleTV+ documentary “The year earth changed” and it really puts it in perspective how much human activity interferes with everything. 

    As for Mr. “my F350 is an extension of you know my what..... “, he just went on my ignore list.

  • iPhone not migrating to USB-C or getting Touch ID on power button any time soon



    Kuo understands that there are technical issues around waterproofing, but says he believes there are market pressures involved. Specifically, Apple's Made for iPhone (MFi) programme is a profitable business that would be affected.


    I have a very hard time believing this part.  Below is Apple's revenue breakdown by product. Cable and other accessories are only a small part of the Wearables, home and accessories category in red. Let's not forget that this same category also includes Apple watch, HomePods, AirPods, AppleTV's, iPhone/iPad cases etc.
    So that MFi program is probably just a fraction of that and overall would represent nothing but a rounding error. 

    My source for the graph below is from https://www.statista.com/statistics/382260/segments-share-revenue-of-apple/. ;

  • Apple debuts new MacBook Air with Apple Silicon M1 chip

    The only disappointment to me is the maximum RAM is only 16GB and to me that should be the base amount of RAM.
    My 6 year old MBP has 32GB RAM so I won’t be upgarding it yet. Sigh.
    Huh??? There's no way that a 6 year old MacBook Pro ever had 32 GB of RAM. I have the 2015 15" MBP with Graphics card and the most I could've had at that time is 16 GB.
