  • Watch: iPhone XS Max's A12 Bionic smokes Samsung's Galaxy Note 9

    I guess for those who are doing 3D modeling or cancer research or nuclear physics on their phone will be thrilled that the iPhone X Max is much faster than the Note 9.

    For everyone else, both phones are realistically very fast and no one is going to complain about speed on either one.

  • Apple diagnostics software blocks third-party repairs of 2018 MacBook Pro and iMac Pro

    Can someone tell me why replacing a faulty display, or power adapter would require this ridiculous policy?  Display, battery or power adapter are probably the most common items replaced after warranty, have nothing to do with the T2 "Fort Knox" but Apple requires this diagnostic be run if you replace your battery or power adapter?

    Consumer laws will prevail and despite the "do not tamper with label" that is BS and doesn't hold up in court, neither will this.  

    Would I desolder chips to make a repair?  No.  And neither would 99.9999% of people. But I might want a cheaper power adapter or a replacement battery at some point and I have the right to make such repairs myself without being forced to pay a repair shop.

    Maybe it would be best if Apple just welds the MBP and iMac shut so no one can tamper with it?

    Wonder how long before a consumer lawsuit is filed?  Sounds monopolistic, especially after the warranty expires and now you are FORCED to pay Apple (and their prices) to repair your consumer device.

  • How dual-SIM works with Apple's iPhone XS & XS Max

    So people think about dual SIM's being for 2 countries.  But what about if I have an ATT and a TMobile plan in the US and want to use both on one phone? 

    Wouldn't / couldn't I use an XS Max and have ATT be my primary and TM be my secondary?

  • App Roundup: Google Duo, Office 365, Reeder 3, Viber, more!

    Office 365 just keeps getting better and better.  6 users and unlimited device installs...nice!

    Affinity seems to be killing it with their Adobe-replacement software.  They now have the trifecta of apps...all they need is a really good PDF application, and we could say goodbye to the "rip-off machine" called Adobe!  The only problem is Adobe file formats are so entrenched in the "Pro industry" that the Affinity software would need to be compatible with the same file formats, and I'm not sure, but I don't think they are.  Baby steps, I guess...
