  • No, Apple did not switch to USB-C on its new MacBook Pros to profit from dongle & adapter sales

    Of course Apple didn't discard the other ways to connect  peripheral devices to the MacBook itself. Dongles are really a  Midstep between a new way to connect all of your devices together. 

    Apple has a MacBook dock they are working on.   But nobody wants to talk about that new technology yet.  most likely, it's built into the MacBook in based on Intel technology if they were really smart when they read what I said in the email addressed to Tim Cook  about why I cannot access the three USB ports on my laptop in a virtual machine but I can only Use one of them in macOS. 

    This might be a very difficult item for most people to understand, however I am Malcolm Tucker.   You could read about in a published book, watch me watch me in a movie, or see me in a popular television show in Britain.

    that is all.

  • Apple to replace batteries of iPhone 6s units suffering from unexpected shutdowns [u]

    Strange that Apple has waited until Q4 for issuing all these recalls, fixes. Last week, the SE model was discontinued too. Seems like Apple only wants to offer the iPhone 7 (without headphone jack) this holiday season. My recalled iPhone will have a out-of-hand cost £180 to repair, or they've offered me £200 off a phone without a headphone jack. Have they figured out the kinks on those magical earbuds yet..? £20 says they'll be recalled before Father's Day.

    Unreal how ignorant these guys are about technology and the constitution.
    I agree.  But once Apple CEO can provide an interview to NBC, get on CNN or FoxNews we'll know how the true value of the ABC Nightly News Interview.  


    Just Remember--Bob Iger, CEO of Disney; (Disney owns ABC Network) is a also a Board-level Director at Apple.  So Tim Cook didn't have to travel very far from his office to get an interview on TV.

  • iPad Pro could use much faster 29W charging, if Apple allows USB 3 Lightning cables

    Even though USB 3.0 and Thunderbolt are technically similar (both were designed in cooperation with Intel), Apple doesn't make any money on USB cables and wires. No license revenue is collected. Apple will always prefer Lightning over USB for that reason. Apple realized $100M in annual net profit for changing the wire and cable plugs when customers were inconvenienced with having to make a new purchase. Also, Apple thought that consumer electronics companies like stereo manufacturers and alarm clock makers would accept Apple's new royalty terms to incorporate the new plug into devices. Turns out that apple was wrong about this, and that seems to be the reason why Apple is rumored to be removing the headphone jack in favor for bluetooth transmission.
