Apple limits 2016 MacBook Pro models to 16GB of RAM to maximize battery life
thewhitefalcon said:Actually, the company at fault here isn't Apple, but Intel. Skylake doesn't support the needed LPDDR4 that would allow them to go to higher capacities. And Kaby Lake will only have support in the U chips, and U chips aren't mobile quad cores, so the 15" won't be able to get the upgrade even when they do go to KBL.
In short, Intel continues to drop the ball. It's hard to imagine Apple isn't getting tired of this kind of crap.

And who's fault is that?
2015 15-inch MacBook Pro: 99.5 WHr battery
2016 15-inch MacBook Pro: 76 WHr battery
2015 13-inch MacBook Pro: 74.9 WHr battery
2016 13-inch MacBook Pro: 54.5 WHr battery
2016 13-inch MacBook Pro with Touch Bar: 49 WHr battery
The quest for thinness in a "Pro" machine is bringing out the causalities. -
Apple announces thinner MacBook Pro with Touch Bar, Touch ID, USB-C ports starting at $179...

I had a good laugh at all of the people to immediately panned the AirPods as being no good as they would not stay in their ears...although not a single soul had ever touched the product (since it wasn't available).
With that being said, I got serious sticker shock at the 13-inch MBP with Touch Bar. I was with them until I saw $1799. -
Samsung Galaxy Note 7 glass screen more easily damaged than any iPhone
I've come to the realization that I can't keep my devices perfectly free from damage since I prefer to keep my iPhone 6s "naked" as I loathe cases. Phone cases are like those ugly-ass black leather/vinyl "bras" that people used to put on the front of their cars back in the 80s and 90s IMHO, but that's another story...
I've had my iPhone 6s for roughly a year with minimal scratches on the display (mainly just light scratches from possibly rubbing up against something), but nothing that I can feel with my fingers. And definitely nothing that I can notice with the screen on.
I'm just getting to the point where I say "sh*t happens" and move on. As long as you aren't out purposefully trying to scratch your smartphone, you should be fine no matter if you have an iPhone, a Galaxy, or god forbid a Lumia -
Apple Watch with built-in cellular data unlikely to arrive this year - report
The few times I've used my Apple Watch as a "phone", I've felt like an idiot. Awkwardly holding my wrist up to my face, people complaining that they can't hear me -- plus it's not a very ergonomic position to hold your arm like that.
I'd prefer them add some more battery to it and beef up the health features.
