    For the iPhone 12 pro MagSafe charger does it need a 18w or 20w power brick???
     I’m pretty sure it has to be the 20w
    I very much doubt it requires the 20w charger. That picture on the back of the box is most likely because that’s the charger Apple now sells, but there is no reason the 18w charger shouldn’t work.

  • iPhone 12 mini has 2,227 mAh battery, iPhone 12 has 2,815 mAh battery

    A 2,227 mAh battery will likely only last a few hours of normal use.  The mini is a nice size, but I could never deal with that small capacity battery.  I guess it could be good for some people, but with an A14 Bionic, they'd want to use it a lot and the battery will just poop out halfway through the day.  That's just crazy.  I would only be satisfied with the iPhone 12 Pro Max simply because that is the largest capacity battery available.
    Then you’re calling Apple liars with their battery claims. The 12 mini gets two hours more than the SE and two hours less than the standard 12 (and 11). Seems like a pretty good battery life considering the size of the device.

  • 'AirTags' leak reveals circular button design of tracking accessory

    Without the size, this leak is worthless.  Did anyone think it was going to be a triangle or square?  My expectation and hope is that it will be surprisingly small--think fingernail size rather than half-dollar size.
    The article itself, that you just commented on, clearly states it will be about the size of a bottle cap in diameter.

  • Parallels Desktop 16 revamped to run Windows faster on macOS Big Sur

    If developers can make Windows run on a Pi4, I’m sure Parallels can do it as well. 
    99.99% of people who need to run Windows, need to run the x86 version of Windows, not the useless ARM version.
    This is true, though I wonder if the ASi transition will start other vendors looking at ARM more seriously too. It usually takes someone like Apple to take a bold step for the rest of the industry to follow. A switch from x86 is needed, but whether this will be enough I'm not sure. Businesses as usual will only switch if they are dragged kicking and screaming, and then will need a 100% compatible translation layer. 

    That said, I need x86 Windows. Unless there's a seismic shift in the industry toward ARM, I will unfortunately not be getting another Mac - after being an Apple aficionado for 23 years.
    I predict in about 5 years, everything will have universal options that work on x86 and ARM. You're right, Apple usually leads the seismic shifts in technology, from the floppy disk to the CD drive to SSDs as standard to 64-bit (especially on mobile) to fingerprint readers on phones, etc. etc. etc. I have missed countless other examples throughout the years, but the point is that when Apple does something, the rest of the industry typically follows.

    Meh. Who cares? If you’re wasting your life playing games, you have your priorities wrong.
    Thank God we have people like you to tell us how we should best use our free time. 
    Notice the screen name and the inordinate amount of posts (which is ironic, considering he's claiming other people are wasting their lives) and move on. No sense in engaging with the trolls.
