    These are last remaining devices that I'm waiting to upgrade, so that I can get rid of my USB C to Thunderbolt cables.

    The EU laws have really benefited the environment. I have over 20 old and new lightening cable headed to the landfills. /s
    Maybe try recycling them?

  • No Apple Watch Ultra 3 in development, says Kuo

    Looking at Apple’s product list, and I don’t really see anything that still needs to be on a strict 12-month upgrade cycle. Not now. Not anymore.

  • Apple hikes Apple One cost by up to $5 as most services prices rise

    The Apple TV+ increase is obviously a precursor to introducing an ad-supported ATV+ tier at one of the previous price points. Well screw that…I’m done playing this game with all these streaming services. 

    My $49.99 ATV+ annual subscription just ended a few weeks ago, and I’ve been on the fence as to whether it was still worth keeping around at $69.99. This makes that decision for me. Apple TV+ now goes into my a-la-cart, one month and done rotation.

  • MacBook Pro may get full redesign in 2025, says Ming-Chi Kuo

    "may also consider (but hasn't decided yet)"

    Seriously?
    They haven’t even made it to the consideration stage, much less passed it?

    This isn’t even a rumor. It’s like a pre-rumor based on the most likely outcome from a limited number of possibilities.

  • Apple bails out of troubled Toronto retail construction project

    I would have expected Apple to loan them some money, but clearly that wasn't warranted in this case. They didn't trust the developers due to slowness in completing the project. Rarely do we see projects met on budget and on time. I peg that on greedy companies trying to milk the project for more than it's worth. "Hey, that door knob is $300. Thanks!"
    Why, exactly? They are years behind schedule, $1.6b in debt, and bankrupt. How confident would you be loaning them your money? They’ll just choose a new location and probably still open before The One.
