    side note, not loving all these giant buttons everywhere on the screen now. Good for web apps, overkill for websites.

  • iPhone 16e doesn't have MagSafe

    Ok, I'll trash my own ignorant post above.  I missed this:

    16: MagSafe wireless charging up to 25W with 30W adapter or higher
    16e: Qi wireless charging up to 7.5W

    So it's not just the magnet. Fast charging is better than slow charging.
    Better is relative. It’s certainly faster. But it also wears down your battery faster. So if you don’t need a fast charge, a slower charger is better.

    This show is really quite horrible... so poorly written and stretched out...
    Says, “Thrang”…. Your name is quite horrible, and I’m guessing you haven’t really watched the show.  I love the show, think it’s well written, and the character development is great.  Give it another shot “Thrang”
    Getting personal because he doesn't like the thing you like? That's immature.

    Yeah the people have spoken -- did not like. It was waaay too cute, writer was much too impressed with himself. Was annoying. Ending sucked.

  • UK group wants $4 billion payout for iCloud users

    I agree with the UK group. Apple’s pricing versus its offer for storage is obscene and clearly a way to gouge customers month after month.

    To say you don’t *have* to use iCloud is disingenuous. The truth is that you have to work to avoid using iCloud. And even when you set it up to avoid it, OSes revert to the default saving to iCloud after each major upgrade.

    It’s one of the reasons why I dislike the current Apple.

    100% BS. Dropbox, MS OneDrive, Google Drive, etc. still exist. Learn how to use them or as the other poster said, switch platforms if iOS is too onerous and costly for you.

    The iPhone worked before iCloud and it still works w/o iCloud.
    You didn’t read his comment. 
    Apparently you didn’t either. The OP claimed it’s disingenuous to claim you don’t have to use iCloud. That’s laughably absurd, and the reply stated so. Others commented the same, that they aren’t using iCloud. Not disingenuous.
