  • You don't have to flip this Magic Mouse hack over to charge

    It only takes a few minutes to get 8-9 hours of charge using the port on the bottom. The complaints about the location were always inane. 
    100%. It’s never been an issue for me. The BENEFIT of the charging port being in the bottom is nothing ever gets stuck in there. If it was on the back or front you wild over time get dirt, skin and lint stuck in the port.

  • Apple debuts third-generation Apple Pencil with USB-C charging

    If it’s basically just a generic stylus… I don’t see the point. It sounds like a horrible product. I also have to say thank god I have a gen 2! I use the Magnetic Charging all the time-so useful and efficient. And to reduce the artistic flexibility is also just bizarre. This seems like a totally misguided cheapening of a product. if I want a cheap stylus they’re available everywhere already. 
    No. This has its place and the Gen 2 is still available. It’s $50 less so a lot of people will benefit from this.

  • Apple's 'Mother Nature' sketch was a complete dud, and didn't belong in the iPhone 15 even...

    I respectively disagree. 

    This event had an announcement of the biggest breakthrough in clean technology that I have ever seen, especially at the scale Apple delivers.

    The skit worked for me.

  • Apple will frame iPhone 15 USB-C switch as a consumer win

    It IS a consumer win.

    And it's a win we wouldn't have gotten if the EU hadn't forced Apple to do it.
    This is fundamentally not true. Apple has been using USB C for years and it was naturally making it to the iPhone. 

    The issue Apple had with the EU decision was it was myopic and didn’t allow for innovation of future data and charging ports.

  • Apple Card's iPhone monthly installment plan now requires a carrier at purchase

    The apple card installment plan for a new phone is sort of a scam or at least misleading.   When you buy a phone that way, apple removes the full cost of the phone from your apple card credit limit.  So yeah, you only have to pay monthly...  but they aren't really extending you credit because they reduce your total credit as a security.  Losing 1000+ in credit (buying power) isn't really worth 3%  back.    The citizens one monthly loan is a better deal, it's no interest and doesn't reduce your apple card credit limit.   Just sayin'
    This is absolutely not a scam. This exactly like other credit cards that offer you an interest free promotion for a certain amount of time. If you are looking for a line of credit go down to your local credit union or bank and they will be happy to extend it to you for a nominal interests rate. 

    This is an interest free option that you do not have to take and still qualifies for the 3% back.
