  • M4 Pro Mac mini vs M1 Max Mac Studio compared: Smaller and better

    ...but the power button was in an awkward place when switching the cables.  So actually I am gonna luv this now.
    Exactly. With the new design, you can pick the thing up in fat grabby fingers, pull cables out, turn the unit around, push cables in, manhandle the thing like your nonna squeezing the melanzanas at Guido's Grocery, and you won't accidentally press the power button. The new mini's power button is right where it should be.

    Apple is to [sic] busy sweeping up the Apple Car and Vision Pro mess... damage control over the Vision Pro... you will soon find out the fate of the Apple Vision Pro... 
    My predicament [???], is that you will never, ever see one: Pro or Plus, or SE...
    Yikes, what's your story? A Vision Pro killed your dad or something?

  • Apple execs address Mac mini's hidden power button in 2024 redesign

    More importantly, it is harder to hit by accident.

    Exactly. Users will be plugging and unplugging earphones and peripherals. The unit is super light, so you can't just plug things in one-handed; you'll be gripping it in one hand to plug/unplug with the other. Ports are on front and back, so you'll be picking it up and turning it around at times, too. Gripping fingers are going to be all over this thing, meaning there'll be accidental presses of the power button – unless it's placed underneath. For the Mac Mini, the bottom is the smartest place for the button. Kudos to Apple.

    (And seriously, who uses the power button anyway? "Shut Down..." is right there in the menu.)

  • Apple releases a new video hyping up the new MacBook Pro lineup

    Is it just me or is it weird to have an article talk about a video that Apple just released and not link said video in the article?
    That's the kind of thing editors catch. Sadly, AppleInsider doesn't use editors.

  • Oprah buys back rights to Apple TV+ documentary about her life so it never releases

    "The Apple TV+ documentary was announced in 2021, which would chronicle the 25 years of American history through the lens of Winfrey in two parts."

    You want to back up and try that sentence again, Sport? (The one before it, too, while you're at it.)

    (What is going on over there, Appleinsider?)
