    Really hoping Apple adds USB-C to the iPhone.
     But they’re probably going to try to go portless before that even happens.  :/
    Portless is no longer possible. Since the EU burocrats enforce the USB-C for charging. So portless is not an option.

    A sensible analysis. 
    You're kidding right!? Based on a US only survey, that's more marketing for Rosenblatt securities than a 'sensible analysis'.

  • Apple raises iPhone prices outside US and China

    Given the new pricing, it looks like a trip to cheapo Switzerland might be worth it then (yeah I live a day trip away). Then again 14 Pro is not giving enough reason to upgrade from my 12 Pro, so no reason to hurry. (No longer willing to buy devices with the old fashioned Lightening port any longer to begin with).

  • Tim Cook talks Apple innovation, health, and Steve Jobs in candid interview

    humbug1873humbug1873
    But first - the interview piece is just paid company  propaganda - not sure why AppleInsider would feel it’s worth posting and label it as ‘candid’. Nothing is revealed of Tim Cook. You’ll never get to learn who guys like that really are because they can’t afford that. Especially Cook and Apple - you can clearly see his marketing writing room weighing every damn word. All is scripted, nothing is real. Should I really believe he still often thinks about Steve Jobs? 

    Of course he thinks about Steve. In the sense of "Insanely great, that Steve is not here anymore. He would probably pop in with some harebrained crazy design idea for that new machine we are designing, generating nothing but headache for my smoothly running money making operations machine. Ah here you go, just double the hight of the old Mac Mini and 'boom' done. Worked for AppleTV will work for the Mac mini studio.
