  • Nvidia buying ARM for record-breaking $40 billion

    Oh this isn’t a monopoly in the making at all. But God forbid Apple takes a small fee from developers for access to IT’S store to reach millions of customers more than they could ever do on their own.

    Surely Apple wouldn’t be acquiring relevant domain names just a few days before product launch?
    That’s exactly what I was thinking.

  • Evidence growing for Tuesday 'iPad Air 4' launch

    The two things I’m most concerned about when I eventually get a new iPad Pro will be the loss of a functioning 1/8” audio jack connection and no Home button. Both are critical to workflow and usability for me.
    Ah yes, I forgot about the headphone jack. It is very nice to have that, as well. 

    I understand the whole move everything to wireless thing and the waterproof devices that allows, but I gotta say sometimes those wireless headphones take too long to connect. I get issues with it where I have to put them back in the case, shut it, then try again before they finally connect.  Sometimes I just want to use one and that causes issues, too. Nothing beats plugging a cord in and they “just work.” 

    I wish the 6s wasn’t so damn old, I’d love to have a headphone jack again.

    Stopped reading when it said Prosser. 

    If true, this would, I would think, still have an A12 or 13, as I can’t imagine a 14 in anything before iPhone 12. 

    Might be in the minority here, but I just cannot get into the pro design. Prefer my iPad Air 3 look, with traditional home button. 
    I agree. I don’t see an iPad with an A14 being released before a phone with it, let alone an Air model. 

    I also prefer the TouchID button and the thinner, the better. Those new Pro’s with the squared off edges look thick. Maybe it’s just the photos, who knows. I finally upgraded my 2014 iPad Air 2 (which I still love) with a 2017 10.5” Pro (it was brand new off eBay still factory sealed) I stuck with the gold cause it’s just so beautiful. I figure this will let me enjoy the design that I love a little longer before being forced into a FaceID equipped iPad. Hopefully by then, they’ll have that in-display TouchID we keep getting teased with. 

    I did some research for a new model and came up with the 2017 Pro because of the home button, 4 speakers instead of two, faster processor and gpu, 10.5” screen which allows for a full size keyboard yet it’s not the size of a legal pad like the new ones, 120Hz ProMotion display, 512GB capacity and iPhone 7 camera system with a flash and its optical image stabilization. For my money, the 2017 Pro is the perfect design with the perfect features. And to still be able to find a brand new one that’s never been opened just sealed the deal. 

    Going back to screen sizes, why are there so many now? And they’re doing it with the phones now, too. What happened to simplicity at Apple? It’s 1990 all over again with their bloated lineup. My wife bought the very first iPad Pro, the 12” one...the thing was massive! Bulky and heavy. She returned it and went back to her Air 2. Ever since then, we stay away from those. It’s supposed to be an iPad, not a laptop. (Miss Steve and Jony) This 10.5” one is the perfect size though. Bigger screen yet damn near the same physical size as an Air 2.
