  • Huawei again accused of passing off DSLR photos as smartphone shots

    Here's the smoking gun shot that was posted by the actress in the video.  I put iKnockoff shops like Huawei and Samsung in the same boat of shame.  They will literally lie through the teeth to push their agenda.

  • Apple's new leather MacBook Sleeve is finely crafted and high quality -- but at a cost

    I'm beginning to think that Apple Executives think everyone in the world is a billionaire, or at least a millionaire like they are. To them, $200 is the equivalent of $20 or $2, LOL. They've "lost touch" with the value of a dollar. I could afford this, but no matter how good the leather, it's not a good value. Think what else $200 can get you. Its this comparable?
    Maybe they do... they obviously see a market for it, and people are paying for it, and they're making money and retaining enough customer loyalty in the process regardless of how many people hate on it.

  • 2018 MacBook Pro keyboards include silicone membrane, might protect against key failure

    sflocalsflocal
    It was my first thought when Apple announced a "quieter" keyboard.  Something was dampening the noise, now you have it.

    Honestly, silicone keyboard covers (the ugly ones that go over a keyboard) and been around forever.  It did not take a rocket scientist to decide to put it under the keyboard.

    I'm actually a little bit upset at Apple not including the membrane on the 2016-2017 MBP's.  It's not even a hindsight issue, but quite obvious that junk does get under the keyboard.

    Well, I guess that will quiet the folks.

  • U.K. regulatory board backs Apple iPhone X claim of 'studio quality' portraits

    sflocalsflocal
    It's an interesting feature. I've tried it at times, have never really been impressed with it. I'm an avid photographer (Canon 5DMarkIII / Sony RX100V) and I can spot the differences, but I know folks like us are in the minority. It's fascinating though to see how Apple is pushing the boundaries of what's capable with software-enhanced photography. Amazing actually. In the right conditions, portrait-mode works great. I'll still continue to use my dedicated cameras when quality is of the upmost importance.

  • Sketchy rumor claims 2018 iPhones will sport both embedded Apple SIMs and standard SIM tra...

     Why doesn't Apple just eliminate the SIM card all together? Apple's skates to where the puck is going to be, not where it used to be.  if Apple eliminated of a SIM card, all the Android phones would do exactly the same thing because all that Android does is copy Apple every time.
    It's been discussed countless times.  Telcos don't like eSims.  It's inevitable, but they aren't going to take it without kicking and screaming.

    It would eliminate another exterior opening that would assist in making the phone that much more weather/water resistant at least.
