  • Apple debuts 5.8-inch iPhone XS and 6.5-inch iPhone XS Max with OLED screens

    I think Apple has reached a point where as much advancement they've done, it's all just refinements and no new additional functionality.  The reason I often jump back and forth between iPhone and Android is that the Android devices allow me to do work while the iPhone is just a communication device.  Apple really need to put a iPhone Pro that is akin to the Samsung Note series and blur the lines between the iPad and iPhone.  A lot of folks carry iPad and iPhone because the iPhone just can't do work.  But now I carry just the Note 9 because I can do work with it.

    All Apple needs to do is open up iOS so that you can use the iPhone like a desktop OS.  This constantly refinement of iPhone without additional usage that are just locked away isn't going to sell more iPhones.  People are just buying new ones when their old stops working.  


    I do real work on my iPhone everyday. It’s how I run a business. What a terribly inaccurate post.

  • Comparing Apple's HomePod versus the Fluance Fi70 speaker

    This is not at all the same product category and this review is insulting.

     I keep hearing that 2019 will be the next supercycle, but that won’t stop me from buying this year‘s new 6’5” model.
    Every year is the "next super cycle" according to analysts.

  • Apple Watch surges to top of global wearables market with 'market-beating growth'

    Sad day. Apple has succeeded convincing a lot of people that it's OK for your watch to only last one day. Reminds me when you had to wind your mechanical watch each evening, except charging your Apple watch takes longer, and maybe you have to also charge it again in the morning, to make sure you start with a full battery for the day ahead.
    I get two days out of mine, so even if I forget to charge it at night, it still works the next day.

    Do most people sleep with watches on? If you're taking it off, why not just stick it on a charging stand?

    These complaints are ridiculous. Comparing the Apple Watch to a mechanical watch is asinine, no better than people ragging on having to fill up cars when a horse can just eat grass.

    Aside: Apple could have chosen to keep a 1/16" analog headphone jack if 1/8" was taking up too much space.  It also could easily be designed to prevent water intrusion. Of course that was never going to happen. 

    Why would this be a benefit? You would still need an adapter. Sheesh.
