  • World rocked as YouTubers prove you can eventually break an iPad

    Another youtuber test put weight on the new and previous ipad pro and both took after 70lb start bend that was press down with point of pressure.
    2024 iPad Pro Is Thinner But Just As Strong? I Put Apple's Claim To The Test! (youtube.com)
    Both of them took 85lb to unusable. Question will be normal everyday use for ipad pro will bend like that?
    Most people put some sort of cover or protection case. Unless you use bare bone ipad pro and cause of camera bump to bend. But even that need at least 70lb pressure.

    So stop seating on ipad pro.

  • Apple calls 128GB 'lots of storage' in new iPhone 15 ad

    Well, if you don't play game and don't take lots of picture or video then 128GB storage is enough.
    I am currently using iPhone 15 Pro with 128GB storage and still have more than 50% free space. If I am moving all pictures, then it should free up to 80%.
    Question is how long Apple can charge storage and RAM price as much as 3-4 times higher than normal market price.

    I don't think Apple will kill 128GB base line soon, so only choice is reducing price to upgrade but if that happen most people buy higher capacity.
    If that so then why bother. Just kill base 128GB and move on to 256GB as new base.

    According to wiki, iPhone storage upgrade from 32 to 64 at XR, and then 13 to 128 as base. So Around 4 years term Apple upgrade base storage.
    So, I guess iPhone 17 or 18 will be 256 as base. At least Pro line up bump up first.

  • Volvo to focus on value adds outside the infotainment system, will leave CarPlay alone

    I think all car company should drop R&D for dash board design.
    Specially infotainment console design is just outdated. They don't know how to make it better and sometimes make it worse.

  • Apple insists 8GB unified memory equals 16GB regular RAM

    Regular people do not load 40GB of RAW picture(s) image on their laptop or desktop.
    Regular people do not compile application and test complex enterprise software.

    Why the professional people complain about RAM size? Either your company willing to pay what they need or your own business can paid off higher RAM upgrade.
    It is business expenses.

    If regular people think they need more RAM then they still stuck on old windows experience.

    Don't get me wrong.. I don't like the way Apple charge RAM and SSD upgrade price. It should drop 25-50% from current price.
    On the other hand, I am Apple stockholder and with my dividend from Apple cover all my Apple products purchase.

    Far as I can see Apple price upgrade structure made as if you need specific model to upgrade then you should consider bump up different model instead.

    Like Mac mini upgrade max 32GB RAM with M2 Pro, 512GB SSD, 10G NIC ended up $1799.
    However, Studio with M2 Max with same other spec ended up $200 more - $1999. 
    If you want Mini with M2 Pro with 12 core than $300 more - $2099.

    So Apple create price structure to bump up the model not individual options. They try to not make too many CTO model.
    Order to doing so, upgrade option price hike.
