  • Apple targets Android switchers with two new iPhone ads

    The app one is brilliant. Android is truly the wild west.

    Apple will likely cut t his thing out soon so hey.

    That's the advantage of using face id or touch id, you don't need to put those silly short passwords for convenience sake.
    This. I just changed to a long alphanumeric password, mostly to deter theft.

  • Our biggest gripes with Apple's 2018 iPad

    I could easily live with these trade-offs, except for the non-laminated display. I know this has durability benefits, but it makes the whole thing so much thicker and heavier, which would be fine If I hadn't been using an Air 2 daily for the last few years.

  • Apple and TSMC starting Apple Watch MicroLED display mass production later this year

    Series 0 here and still going strong. I wear it almost every day. Tempted by the series 3, by decided the marginal gain was not worth the cost. I'd gladly hold out for the rumoured larger display model (with or without microLED).

  • First look: Apple's new 9.7-inch iPad with Apple Pencil support

    I like the new 9.7" iPad and am glad to see it get pencil support. I wish it had a laminated display though as it's noticeably thicker (and heavier) than my current iPad Air 2. I'd take that trade off for additional battery life, but it's clear they started making them thicker again as an up-sell to the iPad Pro line. For that I might as well stick with my Air 2.

    The Pros seem outrageously priced at this point particularly in international markets. Sure you get a better display, but I'm not sure it's a case of twice the experience for twice the price.

    I like the idea of the Apple pencil, but it's much too long. Two thirds of its current length would feel so much better in the hand. If you can top up the charge by plugging it in for a minute the battery life is more or less moot.
