  • Customer trapped in Apple & FedEx blame game over lost Apple Watch

    I feel for the guy stuck in the middle, but asking Apple to "do something to make up the issue" and then demanding a high end product smacks of entitlement to me.

  • Compared: iPhone 13 vs iPhone 13 Pro

    Also worth mentioning the 13 Pro has 6GB RAM, vs 4GB on the 13

    When I see the Mac mini redesign with all the cables in the back I think Apple should bring back the wired keyboard and upgrade it to be a thunderbolt-hub! Is not gonna happen as Apple is migrating to wireless, but it’s so cumbersome to access all the ports in the back. 
    With an AirPower/Qi charging coil built in under the numeric keypad. 

    Why not just have the whole damn Mac inside the keyboard?

    I like that idea.  Reminds me of the old Commodore machines, C64 & Amiga.

    If this could integrate so it could do FaceTime from the Watch I can see it being more popular.

    Yes! Because more cameras is exactly what the world needs. 
    Is that a reason for this to exist even though neither of us want or need this?
    I think he was being sarcastic.....

    Why is this thing not dual boot macOS and iPadOS?

    In particular, a 12” iPad Pro with Magic Keyboard is, in every sense, the superior hardware when compared to a MacBook Air, yet it’s forced to run the crippled iPadOS!

    The kernel is the same between macOS and iPadOS, Catalyst is present to run i(Pad)OS apps under macOS, and the OS could restrict apps to Catalyst when used without MagicKeyboard to optimize for touch Ui.

     But why can we not (at least optionally) run macOS on an iPad Pro wit MagicKeyboard?

    THAT is what I’m waiting for! A Mac with the ability to use pen/finger to interact where needed. For the most part, I use my current iPad Pro with keyboard and touchpad, with the occasional screen/pen interaction 
    Its an interesting idea.  As macOS now runs on M1, I guess there is no major reason why they couldn't do it.

    My guess is that they think it may cannibalize sales of Mac hardware
