    I this thread is a perfect example of why I’m glad the masses don’t care what spec-heads think.  This MBP looks fantastic, performs even better than what Apple advertises, and yet some people here just have to troll their ignorant, uneducated, possibly even iHating nonsense.
    What Apple does (putting a workhorse machine in a slim design) is like Massey Ferguson offering a 800bhp tractor in a Honda hatchback form factor. Yes, it will look and sell better, but it is still the wrong idea.
    Stop palliating intrinsically flawed design with inadequate cooling infra - accepting what the masses consider the norm

    The minimal distinction between Apple and the “evel” data collectors is that Apple collects and sells aggregate, anonymized data.
    That is, you as an individual still exist, but only under a cumbersome id (instead of your name) that others may very well relate to your name via usage patterns - even while Apple won’t.
    So that distinction is MINIMAL to ZERO, further in the value chain.
    So - contrary to what the article suggests - Apple IS collecting data on users collectively and selling TONS of aggeregate data to enable spying purposes.
    Sorry, No

    Apple collects and sells aggregate, anonymized data = false
    Digitaltrends.com on Apple:
    ” the company does use your data to sell targeted ads based on your activity in the News and App Store apps. You can actually see what information Apple is using here by going to Settings, Privacy, then Advertising. ... Apple will send you your data in chunks, up to 25GB.

    Every substantiation mentioned here indicates that they’re simply too late, given their ambitions. Same for Music Streaming, and Project Titan soon.

    Apple should give the XR some bolder colors instead of the pastels imo.  A navy, an emerald, a burnt orange.  Anything like that would be nice.
    Especially if you want to win the Chinese market back. And (like coding) it doesn’t require a 4 year education to see that, Tim

  • Apple shares first official photos of Carnegie Library store in DC

    OK, merits - as this will undoubtedly put Tim & Joni between Michelangelo, Frank Lloyd Wright, Aga Khan and Le Corbusier. Subsequently, can we customers (who funded this all) now go on with our lives - and get to hear when MacPro, improved MacBook keyboards, smallbezel iPads, iOS DarkMode, smaller volumeHUD’s and 100’s of other things will be programmed ? It may be surprising to the Apple Board, but those are the things due that we funded in the first place and that’s where their primary responsibility is.
