  • Apple loses ground to Samsung in European smartphone market

    I’m not surprised at all, most of the new features come to Europe later than US and we are to pay silly high prices!
    Thank your regulators and protectionist policies.
    For some features that might be part of the problem, but for a lot of other features it's no excuse.

    Pime example, that I just discovered today. If I ask my HomePod to play the top 20 from 1999 it tells me "Sorry, I don't know the historical charts from your country." What the actual fuck?!?!? Apple Music was released way back in 2015, and they still have not bothered to add something as simple as the UK charts to the service? Something so mind numbingly simple and obvious and they just don't bother to do it.

    There are so many examples of Apple just not giving a shit about their users outside of the USA. Frequently we pay more for a much poorer service. There is no excuse for sometihng as simple as the above, the UK is a key market for Apple generating billions of dollars of their yearly income and yet they pull shit like this.

  • Global notebook shipments up with Apple showing biggest growth

    Just wait until they fix the broken keyboard, they’ll sell loads then to those that have waited years for them to fix it and even more to the poor bastards like me who bought one hoping it was all hot air and then realised that it truly is a broken design. 3 keyboard replacements in 14 months, what a bloody joke!

  • Eight unreleased AMD Radeon GPUs found in second macOS Catalina beta

    I wish Apple would just sort out their issue with nVidia. Not knocking ATI Radeon's here, but it would be nice to have the choice and it's Apple causing the block, not nVidia.

  • Apple reveals which Macs will run macOS Catalina

    saareksaarek
    So the video card I bought to run Mojave on my old 2010 Mac Pro won't let me do Catalina.

    Not that I'm surprised that a nine-year old computer is finally phased out.
    Don’t worry, your Mac Pro should easily handle Catalina. Just wait for the inevitable patch from the genius at http://dosdude1.com/

    Apple understandably wants to keep official support to within the 7-8 years for an OS, but typically a 10 year old Mac will easily run the latest version of Mac OS. Well, assuming you upgraded said Mac with an SSD drive and 8GB Ram.

    My wife’s 2008 Aluminium MacBook is flying along in Mojave with the patch from them.

    The XR is the model with no Force Touch, right?
    Correct, it does not have 3D Touch.
