  • Testing thermal throttling and performance in the 2018 i7 Mac mini

    Great info and article. It's nice to see that the new Mac mini does a decent job of managing the CPU performance and throttling. Did the fan get noisy during this testing? I ask because I use my Mac for music production, and a noisy Mac mini would not be welcome when recording vocals.
    It was surprisingly quiet. I think quieter than either the 13" or 15" 2018 MacBook Pro. 
    But of course, it's subjective. You may think it's loud.

  • Blind comparison of photography on the iPhone XR versus Google Pixel 3 XL

    How come all the photos, except the one with the guy and his dark jacket, are all three feet nearer when taken with the Google phone? Hardly a fair like-for-like comparision, the shots are different. All the images looked good, some better than others. 50-50 with me, but it's great that we have such tech in small packages.
    The Pixel 3 XL automatically crops in when you're taking Portrait photos, simulating a telephoto lens.
    The good: Background compression looks really nice since it forces you to stand further back.
    The bad: You can't take wide portrait photos.

    "This means users can connect an external 5K display, extra storage or even charge their iPhone with a USB-C to Lightning cable." Define extra storage? I cannot find anything about that on Apples Site. Looks like it can see the same external devices as before, Like cameras, keyboards and such. USB-C Hard drives and Flash drives are not mentioned.
    The video script that I wrote said: "This means you can charge your phone with it and connect it to external devices like cameras or even an external 5K display, which will mirror everything onto that display." 

    Not sure who added the external storage bit.

  • Apple wants iPhone to be proof of identity and replace passports

    It could work as an alternative, like using Apple Pay when you forgot your wallet at home, but won't work as a replacement.
    Just wait for them to start chipping everyone.

  • Review: The 2018 i7 15-inch MacBook Pro is much more than a spec bump

    It would be interesting to note if there is much of a real world difference between the 2.2 and 2.6 model one since there really is only a $100 difference between similarly optioned models.  ($300 between 2.6 and i9).
    From our testing: 4 run average of Cinebench R15 CPU test back-to-back:
    Base: 991
    Mid: 1001
    i9: 1011

    Clock speed averages for each under load after heating up and stabilizing:
    Base: 3.05Ghz
    Mid: 3.1Ghz
    i9: 3.15Ghz
