iPhone loyalty rates down to 8-year low, survey claims
The problem is, parents are teaching kids to be followers and not leaders. To treat others as outcasts because they are different or because they don't conform to standards you define is really dumb and has become a big problem in this country. These kids will grow up to be intolerant lemmings who's lives are defined by the idiot slabs they use to communicate with other idiots. Not something I would be proud of.GeorgeBMac said:I think my 12 year old grandson may serve as a good example of what's going on:
He does not know a single kid (not one!) who doesn't have and use Apple products: iPhones, iPads, iPods, Apple Watches, etc.... while many of their parents do use other (Samsung) products. But the kids wouldn't be caught dead carrying a Samsung phone.
Part of that is the prestige factor of Apple. But most of it is the social networking that Apple enables with FaceTime and iMessage which the kids rely heavily on to communicate with each other. Without an iPhone, iPad or iPod they are outcasts from their social network.

Don't pretend this dosen't happen with iOS also.omalansky said:My housekeeper, who has a Samsung phone, occasionally asks me to help her do something on her phone. What a mess! I'd end up shooting myself if I had to switch to the Android operating system!

New 13-inch MacBook Pro has bigger battery but SSD can't be swapped
Isn't it obvious that this solution isn't for everyone? People that hack will always find solutions to problems that arise.racerhomie3 said:
Yeah. Good solution. 1 update bricks it & then what.bigtds said:You can always buy a Dell XPS 15 and put Mac OS on it if non-upgradeable hardware bothers you.

Apple spent nearly $15M per episode on Apple TV+ show 'See,' report says
I don't know what you're watching but their are some great original shows on Netflix. Better than all the others currently with the possible exception being HBO. I doubt Apple will come close to matching Netflix anytime soon, if ever. It seems everyone is jumping on the streaming service bandwagon lately. People will eventually get fed up and just go back to cable/sat since it will be cheaper than loading up on all these services. Maybe that's by design.ireland said:Most of Netflix’s original shows are terrible. And their impulse to stretch documentaries into way-too-many-episodes docu-series is a terrible trend.
Several of them are clearly taking three episodes worth of content and editing it out to six—lazy stuff. Combine that with original fictional shows with generic I-used-to-make-car-commercials cinematography and sloppy dialog and sub-par directing and I’m left wondering “what they hell are they up to?” And we fit the bill for this shite? Worse and worse Netflix becomes. Shuffling My List every time you click into something? WTF is up with that shite? Assholes at this point.
At least so far Apple are showing some restraint and seem to be paying the money to get some of the better producers and directors. Budgets will particularly matter for Sci-fi shows, so it makes sense to shore up there. Top-notch effects are a real story telling tool in that genre particularly, along with practical effects. And all that costs money.
Either way, I’ll be ditching Netflix later this year and giving ATV+ a go.
