  • Apple Pay overtakes Starbucks for in-store mobile payments

    How do Starbucks payments work, does the app display a barcode or QR code or something?
    The app displays a barcode that gets scanned which connects the purchase both to the stored money (paid into the Starbucks account:,they accept Applepay for that refill function) and the rewards program for “Stars” applicable to future free stuff. 

    There’s also the option to store/display the barcode via the Apple Wallet where the remaining funds total is also displayed.

  • Review: Mophie powerstation Hub solves your charging woes

    One additional thing to keep in mind when powering off the battery. Qi charging is very inefficient versus using a cord so beware charging wirelessly if you need to utilize the battery to its fullest.

    While the head of Huawei says good things about Apple....

    He readily admits that in a Chinese media interview. 

    “As America wages war on his company, Huawei CEO Ren Zhengfei has made an unlikely intervention in support of one of his biggest rivals. In an interview with Chinese state TV on Tuesday, Ren confirmed he is a fan of Apple. 

    "iPhone has a good ecosystem and when my family are abroad, I still buy them iPhones, so one can't narrowly think love for Huawei should mean loving Huawei phones," Ren said, according to The South China Morning Post.”

  • Boeing 737 Max pilots didn't have flight simulators, and trained on iPads instead

    All 737-max 8 pilots are train on different varieties of 737 simulator before, just not specifically on Max8. The problematic MCAS is completely automatic, not even the pilots can turn it off. So I guess Boeing not even bother to educate the pilots how to handle the “features” when it goes nuts. 
    The MCAS can be turned off. The problem are pilots not trained in how to do that. At least twice in the U. S. pilots encountered this issue, turned off the system and had no further problem.

  • Apple lowers holiday quarter guidance on lower than expected iPhone sales

    Apple offers a wide range of phone price points. Pointing solely to the very top, most maxed out option is rather deceitful.
