My 2016 15" MBP's screen is all messed up with keyboard marks because I didn't use a cloth to cover the keyboard for years. On my 2021 14" MBP, I've used a microfiber cloth just the right size to cover the keyboard since I got it. It hasn't broken the screen and has kept my screen in much better condition than my previous MBP. I can see how it might be a problem if hard pieces of dirt stuck to the cloth or it was larger than the keyboard, but my experience has been that it's a good idea to put something soft and thin over just the keyboard area. YMMV...

No bias there.

I'd call it a good reputation, that's my bias. If you want your industry to stagnate, unions are the way. You'll fall behind especially quickly in tech.

The answer is always dependent on whether you would have subscribed to all of the individual components of each plan. For me, only increased iCloud storage space is worth it. I've had Apple TV+ when it came with my devices for free, but it's not worth the cost to stay subscribed all the time. No interest in the other services, so Apple One doesn't make sense for me.

Well, I guess they don't care about it looking good anymore, it's like the 2026 Outback of phones. They don't even seem to be making any use of the extra space under that ridiculous camera bar. They could at least put extra battery or other components in there. What I really want is a return of the flush lenses, like we had with the 5S and before. If that means we have to make the end of the phone thicker, that's fine with me!

Shouldn't be this weird, but I don't really want to use the Mac App Store anyway so I'm kind of happy they are making it difficult. On a computer, I want maximum freedom to install apps and store all my files wherever I want - that's sort of the point of desktop computers with a file system.
