  • iPhone 15 Pro rumored to get Thunderbolt connectivity

    Why limit the standard phones to USB 2 speeds? At least go to USB 3. That seems punitive and unnecessary. If Thunderbolt is more expensive then ok, but don’t handicap the standard phone.

    Not withstanding potential security concerns and cost savings, is there any advantage this device would have versus a camera that potentially has a lot more functionality?
    You can put a motion sensor in a bathroom and it's ok.  Good luck doing that with a camera.  In general a motion sensor is less intrusive to privacy and overall vibe of a room than a camera. So deployment options and emotional experience.

  • 'Captain America' star Chris Evans misses the Home Button, says new iPhones too heavy

    Bring back a home button! I’d be fine with a smaller fake one with haptic feedback. Bring back the headphone jack as well. 

    Trying to get my parents to use swipe gestures is not going to happen. They just get even more ornery. And their eyesight is poor so the current iPhone SE won’t work, they need a bigger screen than that. Consider the olds!

    I have always thought it should be even easier - a "find my remote" button on the AppleTV
    Physical would be best, but even a software "button" in the OS to make the remote beep.

    100% agree, was going to write this but you got there first.  Since the iPhone also works as a remote a software solution could also work here.  Though I'd prefer a button on the device, just easier.

  • The birth, life, death, and possible resurrection of the Thunderbolt eGPU in macOS

    elliots11elliots11
    I really hope Apple supports PCI GPU’s and EGPU’s again.  I’ve seen firsthand the benefits of EGPUs in Resolve and while Thunderbolt is a bottleneck it’s still a good option to have, it’s beneficial.  Clearly the packaging of everything together on Apple Silicon is also beneficial, but the chart shows it all - the 6900XT is faster.  Stuff will always come out that’s faster.  I’m not going to buy a new computer every year or two to keep up on GPUs, even if price were not a factor it’s just a pain to migrate between computers.  I hope they bring the discrete GPU’s back.
