  • Analysts predict Apple Pencil support in 2019 iPhone - again

    This doesn't have anything to do with Steve's quote. He said "If you need to use a stylus..." You won't ever need to use the Apple Pencil to use your iPhone, just like you don't need it to use your iPad Pro. It's an accessory, not a necessity.

    I may not have the quote exactly correct, but he was specifically referring to the phones at the time which often used targets too small to hit with fingers.
    Certainly. That was Pen Computing paradigm he was against. That motto belongs to Microsoft and that sort of “computing” never evolved beyond personal digital assistants, Palm Pilot being the most known example. iPhone and iOS with multitouch interface put an end to pen computing paradigm.

    Why is that they predict a pencil for iphone when you ALREADY can use a stylus? Having a $100 pencil on iPhone makes no sense.
    You can’t write, sign, or draw with a stylus. Apple Pencil is not a stylus, it is... a digital pencil. It is the first and foremost digital clone of an analog tool, a technological breakthrough on its own.  It requires a higher screen refresh rate to match the natural fluidity of an analog pencil’s movement.

    Apple Pencil never replaces the multitouch experience, it is conceived as an additional tool, think of it as an accessibility device if you wish. XS Max offers enough space to justify Pencil support.

  • Back to School Buyers Guide: Which desktop is the best Mac for college?

    macplusplusmacplusplus
    iMac 4K + iPad is an excellent combination for college students. 1 TB HDD provides enough space to partition for BootCamp and to store fairly decent games on both Mac and Windows. Everyone suggests getting rid of the HDD but this is not the correct upgrade path, RAM comes first, then Fusion Drive or SSD in precedence. If Windows will not be installed initially, then Fusion drive or SSD may be chosen when buying, RAM may be upgraded later.

  • Editorial: Apple's Q319 earnings destroy a mountain of fake data and false reporting

    This article is pure hyperbole. It was a good quarter in spite of iPhone which is now less than 50% of Apple’s quarterly revenues. Sure Wall Street loves services revenue but would anybody here really call services a great product from Apple? Tim gave no color or numbers on Apple News+ which leads one to believe it’s not doing that great. I’m not surprised. The News app isn’t that great and bolting on magazines and a few newspapers for $10/mo didn’t make it better. Honestly I think the only place where people need to eat crow is with the Watch which has become a big hit. 75% of sales this quarter were to new Watch owners. That’s fantastic.

    if you want good analysis of the quarter https://sixcolors.com/ is a good resource. 
    Yawn... You can do better than that.
