  • iPad, iPad Air, iPad mini, iPad Pro: What to expect from Apple in 2024

    If only the large iPad Pro would switch to macOS when an keyboard and mouse would be connected… 😍

  • This could be the first real leak of Apple VR headset components

    mvmaastrichtmvmaastricht
    I wonder if it would be a VR device. AR seems more logical, because that’s al Tim Cook talks about and Apple seems to be interested in. 
    And for good reason: why separate people even more from reality (and each other) by closing them off into a virtual world, while connecting them to the real world  with an AR layer, would connect people more to each other? 
    At least that (connecting people) is what Apple is communicate in every single commercial they make…

  • 2022 iPad Pro M2 review: Six months later, powerful and still stale

    mvmaastrichtmvmaastricht
    Agree. I’m disappointed that Apple still didn’t add the possibility to instantly switch the iPad Pro to macOS after connecting it to an external monitor-and-keyboard (or a thunderbolt docking station), thereby turning it into a MacBook.

    I’m disappointed because Apple usually add extra usability features (benefitting it’s users) and this seems to be an obvious one: all the hardware is in place.
    But in this case they seem to only think about money (just benefitting themselves) being afraid of cannibalising their MacBook sales by adding that feature. 

    That’s a shame,

  • Apple looking to drop Broadcom as wi-fi, bluetooth, cellular supplier

    Broadcom is an industry leader. If Apple can replace them, that would be huge.
    I am more concerned with how it is possible to replace Broadcom's tech without using Broadcom's patents. It isn't as bad as the situation with Qualcomm and mobile tech, but still. 
    No need to be concerned: replacing Broadcom’s tech doesn’t mean Apple not using Broadcom’s patents. The goal of Apple is not creating independency from Broadcom as a company, but from Broadcom’s chip design. The goal would to be able to create chips that are better suited voor devices that Apple has in mind for the future. Sort of like how Apple is making chips with ARM’s patents, but with their own typical Apple design. It means Apple can leave out unused parts of Broadcom’s chip design to be able to, for example, better miniaturise their chips.

  • Brydge ProDock review: A vertical Thunderbolt 4 docking station for modern Macs

    mvmaastrichtmvmaastricht
    I don’t understand the benefit of this type of dock: forcing you to ditch a screen just to be able to use it in clamshell mode…
    Why not making a stand to put my opened MacBook on and have al this docking features built into the stand? Adding a short retractable Thunderbolt 4 cable to dock it and voilà: two screens with your MacBook ergonomically lifted up and running! Add that wireless phone charger underneath the stand and I’d be an exciting dock!
