  • Apple Card data export options now include Quicken and QuickBooks file formats

    Hallelujah!!  

    I've been using Quicken for over 20 years and this one of the annoying things about the Apple Card.   

    Now, we just need Quicken to make their Mac version as good and as identical to the Windows version as possible... because Quicken for Mac is awful.  (I run Parallels just for Quicken for Windows.)

    Seriously? 
    That's what I've been told by several Genius Bar people.

  • COVID-19 disaster shows off Apple's true core

    I'm sure this article will be accused of drinking the Apple Kool-Aid, but it everything said here is true.  Apple has resources like pretty much no other company on the planet and no matter what happens concerned the pandemic, Apple will see it through.

    Today, Goldman Sachs issued a rare sell recommendation on Apple stock and sure enough the stock is down a few dollars in a market that is otherwise very positive today.  Either they were looking to just move the price downward to pick up shares a bit cheaper, or they are highly mistaken about Apple's future.

    Sure, stores are closed and sales will be down for this and almost certainly the next quarter, but people need Apple services and products.  The intro of the new iPhone SE is actually perfectly timed.  There are a lot of people who need to upgrade their old iPhone 6 and 7.  At $399, the new SE is perfect and doesn't break the bank for many people.  (Monthly payment plans will be around $16 a month.  People spend more on a Netflix subscription.)

    Finally, all the charitable stuff that Apple does is truly incredible.  They have the resources, the pull, and the money.  Good to see some of go to good causes.

  • Apple isn't planning on limiting CarPlay just to a car's head unit

    This would be great. 
    I have a 2018 VW Tiguan.  The dashboard is one large electronic display.  If I use the VW nav system, it’s right in front of me.  If I use Apple Maps via CarPlay, it is only on the center display- I need to turn my head to the right to see what’s going on. 
    I always wondered why don’t they use the main dashboard display.
