    I love iMacs. Would love to see 1TB SSD standard now. And retina on all models. Maybe smaller bezels but not important.


    We have over $3500 burning a hole in our pocket for a new iMac.
    Want:
    1. larger size than 27
    2. double the resolution
    3. SSD only

    Larger than 27" and double the resolution? We already have 5k iMacs, doubling the resolution won't make a difference unless you mean very large screens when you mentioned larger than 27”.
    Why do you care if an iMac is not SSD only? People are always harping about choice so why force something you want on a user who doesn’t want or need what you do? Of course you can order an SSD only iMac today so what’s the problem? And double the resolution? The iMac is 5K but you want 10K? How does that even work?
    Non-SSD’s are only good for external storage.  
    Blathering nonsense. Internal spinning hard drives are perfectly fine for most people and it’s why Apple still offers them. You don't need blinding electronic speed to send an email, play some music, and store photos. Yours is the same false argument used by the 5G crowd. Most people don’t need 5G speeds any time soon, especially on a mobile phone.
    I have a perfectly workable 2012 iMac with a HD that’s failing causing the thing to be near worthless. Back then SSD prices made that solution unobtainable. Now the SSD costs are low enough to make SSD only iMacs a long term solution for those that want to send email, play some music, store photos beyond 2028. Seems like a win win

  • Suppliers accusing Apple of over-estimating future iPhone sales

    I don’t get why suppliers care if Apples estimates are overly optimistic. If Apple orders a certain number of iPhones don’t they get to produce them and bill back Apple for their efforts even if Apple ends up with a surplus? Or do they get stuck with an over abundance of parts that go unused?

    Careful. A lot of people feel the same way about Apple. https://medium.com/@otymartin/apple-why-cant-iphone-users-have-this-fddd9601d2b7
    Define “a lot”. Do you mean maybe 5 people?

  • HomePod software now based on tvOS instead of iOS, report claims

    As another site pointed out, neither of the  devices need power management and the HomePod and one of the current gen Apple TV’s are running an A8 processor so the tvOS branch will probably continue to support that while iOS and ipadOS will drop that support.
