  • Apple unveils all new 13-inch MacBook Air with Retina display, Thunderbolt 3 and more

    Apple should introduce air quotes to the product line, ie: iPad “pro” “mac book” air.

    First thing I thought on seeing the headline, “how many useful features did cost cutter Tim remove.

  • Apple diagnostics software blocks third-party repairs of 2018 MacBook Pro and iMac Pro

    At this point apple is just seeing how much sodomy the fan base is willing to take. In my circles developers and designers are abandoning the apple eco system in droves. Interestingly my non tech friends are lining up to have the prestige of paying a huge premium for the Apple Shiny.

  • Review: Apple Watch Series 4 is the full realization of what a wearable can and should do

    “Full realization of a wearable”?? Not if you’re an athlete. Does any serious endurance athlete choose an Apple Watch over a Garmin? Not that I know. Did Apple fix the GPS lock delay? The lost data at the beginning of every workout? The bad triathlon transitions? The inability to handle European 33 1/3 m pools? AW has apps, which is a plus but for core fitness functionality it still has a long way to go to catch Garmin. I’ll take a pulse oximeter and integrated Strava over an ECG any day. 
    yep, apple watch is the worst “sports” watch I have owned for sure. garmin for the win!

    no problem here with my xs max - must we have reference Antennagate with every bug report?
    well obviously if it works for you its impossible for anyone of the other million+ users to have issues and must just be making shit up. 
    The point being that these kinds of reports come out with EVERY SINGLE IPHONE EVER RELEASED. As time goes on they disappear. Don’t try to inflate something that doesn’t exist.
    amazing observations, things get better as updates get released! Bugs do exist at release time they are real and thats why we get patches. Dismissing the possibiity of bugs existing on a brand new release of a major piece of new software on brand new hardware is being a dumb fanboy.
    Get a grip. People can have issues without something being a bug or glitch that requires a patch. If you at all follow the history of releases you’ll know that some users have issues no matter what. Assuming everything is Apple’s fault is being a dumb hater.
    presumably apple built the hardware and wrote the software.... so any bugs are apples fault.  Pointing out issues is on not "hating" its pointing out issues so they get fixed by apple. Its how IT works.
