Leaker says 'AirTags' coming soon -- in two sizes
I wish Apple would support the still very capable older mac pro towers, at least in the macOS software...Gaby said:
I would have to disagree with this statement by and large. Generally speaking Apple products have a much longer shelf life than competing models anyway.AndrewV said:Yet more, expensive disposable devices like the Apple Watch and AirPods.

Apple updates Pages, Numbers, Keynote for iOS 14, iPadOS 14
For those that are unwilling, unable or unhappy to work with the decreasing flexibility offered by Apple for macOS and iOS post 2011 there are alternatives:emoeller said:Interesting that the MacOS Work suite update is only available for 10.15 and above. I thought Apple usually updates the last two MacOS versions, but I could be incorrect on that.Collabora - the world's leading LibreOffice services company - online & pc

perhaps worth considering globally in context of the Patriot Act: https://fixitalready.eff.org/apple/#/
How does this compare to a decade hence...?

Congressman says antitrust hearing confirmed Apple's 'deeply disturbing' behavior
Well if it is as I understand Apple representing it is about ensuring a positive customer experience, I ask if both app and non app store options might coexist, and the free market can decide?Those wanting to play it safe and finding value in a 30% 'insurance' premium and convenience have the Apple option, and those who prefer direct sales and in fact not wanting to give more data points to Apple about their every online move also have that choice...I for one with what I know would prefer non T2 storage, easily upgradable ram, and a right to repair, either OEM at a premium for quality assurance and speed, or DIY if I feel I have skills, time, inclination and in some cases faster than a repair shop queue...

New DJI OM 4 gimbal will assist budding iPhone film makers
Indeed the new features seem to work with the mobile 3...wwchris said:
Have you had issues with the battery dying? Mine usually lasts hours even when charging the phone. Looks like the new features are being added to the old one with software anyway, so unless you need the magnet, not much reason to upgrade.battlescarred1 said:With no user replaceable battery, I'm hesitant to buy another one. Would be nice to swap out a nearly depleted battery with a fresh one while on the go.
