  • Should you buy a new iPhone this close to the 'iPhone 13' launch event?

    The iPhone 12 will be a generation behind yes, but “outdated” seems a bit harsh. It will be still more than relevant. The iPhone X and even the iPhone 11, should be considered outdated, not the 12. In my opinion.

    The iTunes Store says it’s out on August 29th, but it used to be August 22nd if I’m not mistaken. 

    No you are correct.

  • Apple's MagSafe Battery Pack has more capacity than it seems - here's why

    Amps is current. Watts is power. If you’re going to compare, you have make an equal comparison. Simple as that. 

    “ Wireless charging is about 50% efficient”
    This is what I find baffling about this product. The whole reason for having an auxiliary battery pack is because you’re running low on power, so why waste 50% of the reserve power you have on an inefficient charging process? Even if Apple improves significantly on Qi charging metrics, you’re still losing power. 

    Fundamentally, this is why I don’t care for wireless charging in general. It will always be slower and less efficient than wired charging. We should be looking to improve efficiency and power usage, not worsen it. 
    Point taken but this charger isn’t supposed to do what a wired charger does. It’s not a daily driver, it’s for ppl who want something for on the go or just to have peace of mind for a night out. It’s perfect for those test cases.

  • Stutter charity calls out Apple for 'stammering' emoji gaffe

    I have had a stutter since I was a kid. It took a lot of hard work to overcome it and even now at age 60 it occasionally grabs my by the throat. 
    That said,  STAMMA can go F themselves. This is much ado about NOTHING. I don’t find it in the least bit embarrassed by it. To put it bluntly STAMMA has bigger fish to fry than some stupid emoji.
    And it still grabs me sometimes at age 50. I’ve often been asked if I could go back and live my life without stuttering, would I. The answer is always no. Stuttering is who I am, and it’s made me a kinder person to others who are much worse off than me. Agree with everything you said here.
