  • First look: Benchmarks put Apple's entry-level $4999 iMac Pro to the test

    Nice.
    ....until it gets throttled in favor of iPad Pro to fulfill Tim's vision of the PostPC era.
    It wouldn't even surprise me anymore
    So, why would that happen, exactly? I'd think there's no low-voltage condition on an old battery to compensate for, here.
    There's significant thermal/ ventilation compromise in housing this type of machine in a consumer enclosure - especially with glue being the main mounting method instead of slightly more expensive but for thermal conductivity far more preferable screwed mounting on metal chassis parts.
    This class of machine deserves its own casing - not a grey-sprayed consumer case where fancyness is the main design objective.
    With all dust collection/overheating consequences of the closed setting.
    Note: it is free for anyone to misinterpret criticism like this as trolling, but that says more about "offended" readers and their ability to reason with solid counter arguments

  • Advanced TrueDepth camera, Face ID "major drivers" of iPhone X user satisfaction

    A limited survey probably made under a few customers that need to justify their purchase. With solutions for issues that didn't exist or were made up by Apple themselves. Clever marketing - but for me it is just too much hype only to get rid of a few bezels (that is, hardly...) Hopefully animojis bring customers in higher atmospheres to distract them from the intolerable design issues remaining (shatter prone glass housing, limited battery, protruding camera) 2018: Time to switch to a manufacturer that gets it right instead of those throttlers from Cupertino - mimicking the Steve that once was

  • Alibaba researchers reportedly jailbreak iOS 11.2.1 on iPhone X

    what killer apps does jailbreaking offer these days? 
    Wondering the same thing. iOS is so evolved and advanced anymore. Why risk it? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
    To get rid of slow, framedropping animations, the notifications mess, lacking appointments on the lockscreen and other UI shortcomings that ridiculize iOS. Even moving the text cursor a single position is a headache. For only 10 years now.

  • How Apple Watch laid the foundation for iPhone X

    The conclusions in this article would be reasonable if Apple was 1/10th of its size and financial momentum.
    At it's current investment and patenting level it is just plain embarassing to bring out a phone with double glass sides, mediocre battery life, and 2015 level inductive charging - whatever it's accomplishments (faceID) that flourish up mediocre advancements in the most needed area's.
    And oh, the iPhone X design is nice but sorely needed if not 2/3 years late.
