    "...  the iPhone 15 Pro Max will have the thinnest bezels ever found on a smartphone. "

    Since Samsung has already had a model with NO bezels , I'm gonna question the accuracy of this guy's reporting.

  • Why Apple uses integrated memory in Apple Silicon -- and why it's both good and bad

    Charging $200 for an 8GB RAM upgrade is not a "greed thing"?  Charging $200 for a 256GB SSD upgrade is not a "greed thing"?  Those are up to 10X the cost a PC user with modular upgrades pays.  It most certainly is part greed.  But then, Apple couldn't make that $3T valuation, could they?


    No... it's not about greed... it's about performance per unit of energy... efficiency.
    Those modular systems you like so well require twice as much battery to get half the performance and half the run-time.

    If you don't care about efficiency (and that's perfectly acceptable.)... then by all means buy a modular system and heat your house with it.

  • Apple refusing to unlock device, locked with an AppleID, even with POP.

    Good to know the Apple ID device locking actually works... makes my stuff less desirable to thieves!

  • Ford will stick with CarPlay as GM exits for Google tech

    kingofsomewherehotkingofsomewherehot
    I consider myself pretty average as humans/people go.

    ...and I won't buy a car that doesn't support Apple CarPlay (or Android Auto, if I used that platform.)

    I wanted to buy a Tesla SO BAD last year... but I just couldn't do it due to the lack of CarPlay support... I spent more money to buy a car that supports the system I already use to track my entire life... so... I don't see how GM thinks they're gonna fare any better.

    Here we go again with the sharp edges, and now a pill. Apple, you can do better than this! You have known for years that we all want round edges and no notch, no pill, NOTHING but screen. And you CAN build it. You did it many years ago with the MacBook Pro front camera. You can do it with the iPhone now. Stop playing with camera sensors and other crap, and making customers buy worthless devices for years before you complete what we all really want.

    Again… ROUND EDGES & TOTAL SCREEN. No holes, no pill, no notches!!!!!! When you build that iPhone, THEN I’ll upgrade my weak SE. Well be waiting. 
    no... that's what YOU want... not what EVERYBODY wants.  I hated the round edged phone (-6 era)... but I certainly wouldn't try to claim that EVERYbody hated it.

    And hiding a camera behind a generic LCD screen is not the same as putting various lighting and face-ID sensors behind an OLED TOUCH SCREEN... I'm not saying it can't be done, but just because you can do one, doesn't mean you can de facto do the other.

    Apple seems to be doing what hundreds of millions of people want, based on sales. (Just not what YOU want.)
