  • Even with all the improvements to the iPad Pro, it still can't replace my Mac yet

    I have no idea why it is important to transfer to an iPad. I love my 13" mbp and have zero desire to go all iPad. If I needed pencil support I'd have both. I guess I am 'truck driver' at heart.

  • New MacBook Air threatens both MacBook and MacBook Pro with Function Keys

    It seems to me the MB is irrelevant now. At least for the time being. With the smaller footprint of the MBA and the retina screen, why would you choose the MB? Having said that I still think the MB is the most beautiful laptop Apple has ever made and wouldn't be surprise if it resurfaces as a new iteration of the MBA. It makes good sense to keep the name MBA. Next year or the year after I hope the 'new' MBA will be that shape and size of the current MB, perhaps in two different sizes.

    But … but … but what if someone takes my iPhone out of my back pocket, where all the smart and hip people keep it, and then as they're running off they shout, "Hey! You!"
    When I turn around and go "Huh? Whu? Wassat?", they record my voice and now they can access my phone!
    Really? The smart and hip people keep their iPhone in the back pockets? Where to all the Stupid and Uncool people keep their's? :smiley:

  • Angela Ahrendts, the 'non-techie' who runs Apple Retail, joined Apple on October 14, 2013

    I can't believe this woman hasn't been canned years ago.  The apple stores are a mess.  
    Ha ha. Spoken like a true curmudgeon. The Apple stores are 'dynamic', not a mess. They may not suit really old folks who are confused easily by movement and noise, but I don't see many confused looking people in Apple Stores below 60 years of age. People (above), complain about rows of tables... yes? and what would you like instead of tables where products can be tested and played with freely for as long as you like? 

    What I love about the Apple Stores is how incredibly quickly I can get out of them. Not because I don't like to be there but because it takes so little time to be served. The Genius appointments run like clockwork, relatively speaking, and that is amazing. 

    As for Ahrendts' changes to the stores, I have nothing bad to say. She has stuck to the winning formula and simply added and modulated in order to keep the stores fresh and relevant. There is no other retail experience that comes close imo. At least not for a huge international tech gadget brand. I am old enough to remember tech stores before the Apple store - you know the type that John Browett presided over.. UGH!.
