  • Designers have social duties beyond a product's launch, says Apple's Jony Ive

    Regarding social responsibility, Apple should design an iOS Light version to extend the use of older devices. Make it 10 years rather than a planned death in 4 years, please.
    Only Apple?
    No, but the point is valid.

    This is Jony stating the obvious but sugarcoating it to the point of being sickly.

    Utterly worthless because his work has to sell.

    I have never had a laptop that didn't see the battery need replacing in its lifetime.

    It should be a simple change - from a design perspective and a user perspective but he is backing a machine that requires you to affect both the keyboard and the top case to do something simple (and probably necessary if you want to squeeze a great life out of the machine).

    Ah yes, the keyboard. Now there's a subject I'd like to hear him philosophise on.

    To paraphrase a different top man: 

    "Social Duties, my ass!" LOL
    My MacBook Air (Mid 2012) still works perfectly!  The battery life is amazing.  So does the battery from my MacBook Pro - sorry posted twice and can’t figure out how to delete.

    My MacBook Air 💻 (Mid 2012) still works perfectly!  The battery life is amazing.  So does the battery from both my MacBook Pro’s.  One is 4 years old, the other 2 years old.

  • Netflix drops AirPlay support citing unnamed 'technical limitations'

    Why would anybody stream Netflix from their device to their Apple TV?  Why not just use the Apple TV app or the Netflix app on their TV?

  • Tim Cook being 'intrusive' to Hollywood in quest for family-friendly video fare

    Once again, sources said.. one person... one producer... or... the actual launch may not occur...

    I sure wish AppleInsider would stop running these ‘someone said” stories... or at least start them out with: the following article is not based on fact - just rumors or innuendo so people know what they are reading.

    Added: If these “producers” or people don’t like working with Apple then they should quit.

  • Apple & Alipay launch interest-free $30 per month iPhone deal in China

    Yes this seem like a good idea that would’ve happened regardless of sales, and in China that is definitely the right partner.

     I think it’s extremely similar to  Apple iPhone upgrade plan!
