  • Initial failures of Apple's butterfly keyboard doomed it from the start

    There was so little travel on the butterfly keyboard that it felt like typing on concrete. It was the worst keyboard ever made.

  • Apple unveils new 13-inch MacBook Pro with Magic Keyboard

    All great news! Except for that stupid Touch Bar - it’s a waste of space for most users. The old key configuration was much better. Nevertheless, this looks like a fabulous machine.

  • Review: iPhone SE is the definition of affordable smartphone power

    You should have added TouchID to the list of Pros. A lot of people, including myself, love TouchID and will keep buying new iPhones for as long as this great tactile feature is included.

  • Who should upgrade to the new iPhone SE

    Millions of people still use iPhones with TouchID and prefer it to FaceID
    Have any of the people who prefer TouchID ever used FaceID? 
    Yes, I briefly upgraded my iPhone 8 to 11 before last Xmas but changed it back after 10 days. I really missed TouchID and am glad I went back. I am not a Luddite and enjoy new technology but I truly believe that TouchID is superior to FaceID. 

    It enables me to reach for my phone at night, or in my pocket, or anywhere, and turn it on without having to bring it to my face. I can feel which way the phone is orientated by feeling the home button at the bottom. And now that I have to wear a mask outside I find it even more useful. 

    I also have concerns about the safety of FaceID which beams infrared laser dots into our retinas. A number of reputable scientific studies question the long term safety of beaming IR directly into our eyes. It’s not the same impact as the ambient infra red light which surrounds us during the day, and which we are evolved to handle. Do a Google search and see for yourself.

    Millions of people still use iPhones with TouchID and prefer it to FaceID - especially now that we’ll be wearing face masks for the next few years. 

    I will certainly be upgrading my iPhone 8 to the new iPhone SE.
