    It may be over in the USA, but LG in the United Kingdom has been far from helpful. Luckily, Apple's customer service continues to set a high bar. If only Apple made a cinema display.

  • Apple preparing changes to MacBook lineup this month

    tailpipetailpipe
    MacBook 14" arrives immediately and replaces 13" MacBook Air. MacBook Pro 14" and 16" models arrive slightly later. New screen sizes reflect that bezel between screen edge and enclosure has been reduced. Overall, form factor remains similar in terms of exterior dimensions. The screens in MBPs have been improved again for an even higher resolution. Discrete GPUs for MBP will make 16" model extremely powerful. 14" MBP sticks with integrated Intel GPU. Not sure if 14" gets discrete option.

  • Apple's Lightning to USB-C cable lets users plug iPhone, iPad into 12-inch MacBook

    I think this particular accessory signals a wider move to USB-C for all Apple computers and possibly the abandonment of standard USB connectors across all Apple products. USB-C is a worthwhile upgrade in my book and I welcome it, even though it will create inevitable connectivity issues. What I will welcome even more is the next generation of Apple MacBooks and MacBook Pros when they finally arrive. They're ripe for replacement. The one disappointment today was the lack of any news about new laptops. But I blame Intel for the slow upgrade cycle, whose tick-tock cadence seems completely out of whack.
