  • Apple's extortionate upgrade prices can't stop the MacBook Air being a bargain

    DibiaseDibiase
    Apple's storage upgrades are the worst example of price gouging.  You can purchase a top spec 1 TB M2 SSD for under $100 but apple charges $400 just to upgrade.  This is the reason I have refused to buy a new Apple laptop for over 10 years now.  I've managed to do everything I need to do with an iPad and my iPhone.  I'd like a new Macbook Air but until they start including more storage standard or bring their upgrade prices to realistic levels, I refuse to support these practices.

  • How the Apple Ring will blow all the other smart ring manufacturers out of the water

    DibiaseDibiase
    The Meta Quest 3 has full color passthrough and it was announced and released before the apple vision pro.  So no apple didn't come out with it first.  If Apple does release a ring, I'm not expecting it to blow everything out of the water.  I think it will be similar to the Apple watch and just get out the door and finally get better over with each generation.  The original apple watch was like a beta release, and it was missing way too many functions but now I think it's great.

  • Apple Watch Ultra debuts as a giant & rugged titanium model

    I ordered the Ultra watch, but already it’s at October 20th earliest. I had some odd problem with Apple Pay, which wanted to buy it with Apple Cash, which I don’t have since I buy with my Amex card, which wasn’t enabled oddly. I had to go and fill in the security code. But it still did t recognize it, so I had to buy it without Apple Pay directly through the Amex card, which Apple does have on file. That wasted several minutes. Darn! When I first tried to order it was early October. I lost almost two weeks because of that snafu.

    I really could have used the when I was scuba diving. My Omega was nice for the time, but it did t tell you much.
    I ordered Ultra at least an hour+ after store accepted preorders and my receipt says 9/23 delivery, so maybe watch band option is delaying yours? (I ordered midnight “Ocean.”)
    The watch band made the difference for the delivery dates.  I ordered mine 2 hours after the keynote and I was trying to decide between two bands.  One had a mid-October date and the other had Sept 23rd.  Made my choice easy.

  • Brazil orders Apple to pay iPhone buyer $1,000 for not including charger

    DibiaseDibiase
    Stupid lawsuit.  Apple made it clear that the phone doesn't come with a charger, you have the option not to buy the phone.  I could see and issue if they led you to believe the charger was included.   And why is the compensation not just the cost of the charger if that is the issue.

  • Second class action suit targets Powerbeats Pro battery life, charging issues

    DibiaseDibiase
    Had the same issues with inconsistent changing as well.  I cleaned the contacts on the case and headphones with electrical contact cleaner and the charging issues have been resolved for about a year now.  Since cleaning them I also wipe off any sweat from the headphones after my workouts before putting them in the case.
