  • 'Apple Together' group organizing corporate, retail walkout on Dec. 24

    I follow a number of fruit stand employees on Twitter, mostly to gage the behind-the-scenes mood.  Many grip and complain.  But none that I follow have commented on or referenced Apple Together on Twitter.  A small sample to be sure.  But it may be telling.

  • Apple's VR headset: What to expect and what it will look like

    The headset needs to have AR capability also.  VR alone will be a white elephant curiosity. Cool, but with limited growth potential.

  • Apple Silicon iMac Pro coming Spring 2022, no 'iPhone Fold' until 2023 analyst says

    I don’t get why anybody thinks a folding touchscreen mobile phone is a good idea. One might as well go back to the StarTAC.  It was a good phone for its day. Rugged, small screened, and NOT touch enabled.

  • What to expect from Apple in early 2022 - MacBook Air, Mac mini, iMac Pro, and more

    Regarding the Mac Pro, it makes no sense to resize it.  Apple only rolled out the new super-modular fMac Pro chassis design a couple years ago.  Ideally, someone with an existing modern Mac Pro could be able to swap out their Intel motherboard and replace it with an Apple Silicon motherboard.  And some people may want to have the option of booting x86 or booting Apple Silicon.  This is what the Mac Pro chassis was designed for IMO.

  • FTC sues to block Nvidia's $40B acquisition of Arm

    If this acquisition is allowed it makes no sense why Apple’s App Store is being forced to open up. Apple has every right to run its products the way it wants to. Nvidia owning ARM affects multiple computing companies not just its own. 

    Nvidia owning ARM is a terrible idea, and should be stopped.

    And that has NOTHING AT ALL to do with Apple and their app store.  Apple has NO right to run MY iPhone the way it wants.  It's MY iPhone, not Apple's iPhone.  And because it's MY iPhone and not Apple's iPhone, Apple should not be allowed to have any say whatsoever about what software I choose to run on MY iPhone.  If you want to only get software through Apple's app store on YOUR iPhone, that's your right.  But neither you nor Apple should have the ability to stop me from getting software from any source of my choosing.

    And the same thing goes for in-app purchases.  MY iPhone, not Apple's iPhone.  It's only Apple's until they sell it.  Then it's MINE, not Apple's any more.  It's well past time for Apple's app store monopoly to be busted.
    The iPhone hardware is yours.  But not the IP.  Don’t get overexcited about your ownership rights.
