  • Apple's new Touch Bar MacBook Pros and the future of Macs

    brakkenbrakken
    Apple is certainly steaming ahead with product differentiation. I imagine all iOS devices gaining wireless charging from wOS devices - I reckon there will be more of them in the future, not just watches. And this will be the end of Lightning.

    The iPads will always be suited to quad-speaker systems and Pencil operation, and always touchscreen-centric. Macs will never have touch screens - just use a Mac with the Magic Touchpad: Apple has focussed touch interface gestures right there. And the MacBooks will continue outperforming anything else available at the same price.

    It's only a matter of time before wireless becomes the only form of connection for power and data, but with iOS and wOS, and W1, the building-blocks are already there and being reinforced. 

    The GB-bandwidth of Macs will take longer to progress to complete wireless, but I'm sure Apple has the steps in place. 

    At no point can I agree that Apple should do what anyone else is doing. I only hope that Apple's competitors continue making forging their own, unique, paths. Returning to a mono-style of wintel would be truly awful.

  • How Donald Trump's election as U.S. President could affect Apple

    brakkenbrakken
    What kind of people would support such a person? I thought Bush jnr was the depth of stupid, but Trump is beyond ridiculous!

    No stated policies, a criminal past and present, and a continuing position based on popular rhetoric. How could he even get near the White House?!?

    The constant pining for Apple's doom is maddening. 

    Why not take over Google? Or Microsoft? Or Facebook? Samsung? Sony?

    No, time and time again, apparently it's Apple that needs to be knocked down a peg or two.
    Maybe someone would take over one of those companies if they were a) profitable and b) had value to customers.

    Another Samsung wanna be. 
    I hope they start including gyros in their phones so everyone can play PokeGo...

    "Apple is selling a less featured product for more money. But I am happy because Apple made even higher profits".

    Definition of a fanboy.
    Why can't we just leave technology as it is?!? It would be so much better if we still had big mobile devices that only use USB 2/1 plugs and there was a different connector for VGA and HDMI (not mini) and DVI, too! Definition of a flat-earther
