Compared: Apple's 16-inch MacBook Pro vs the 2019 15-inch MacBook Pro
Yes, I completely agree. Whilst Touch ID is great, the convenience of simply lifting up your screen to be automatically logged in would be a huge benefit. I'd like to see it automatically switch you to your screen if some else is logged in. An odd omission.davgreg said:It surprises me that Apple has not included FaceID in the newer Mac laptops. It does not seem like it would be that difficult a thing to do.
It looks like a nice laptop if the larger sized units are your thing. I recently bought a MacBook Air which is more to my needs.
I do doubt the claimed battery life. I have never seen an Apple laptop live up to the claimed battery life and have owned a bunch over the years.

Apple Watch continues to dominate the smartwatch market
So much for a greater roll out of the ECG feature, I thinks it’s only available in UK & US. This is not Apple though but counties preventing its integration. Australia seems to be resisting its release. Hopefully soon. -
BMW says annual $80 CarPlay fee needed for ongoing testing & development
Such a load of pants. Really, $80... annually. Sure fire reason I won’t be buying a BMW. They would have been better off building it into their servicing costs and hiding in those fees as a “value add” rather than a stand out bulky, expensive option. Madness. -
LIFX readies launch of HomeKit-enabled Candle bulb and TV light strip
LIFX products are terrific and with no hub they are all better for not having something else plugged in. I have a couple of bulbs (globes) and the led strip. All easy to set up configure and ton of lighting options. The strip lights need something to make 90 degree angles simple such as fitting in the kitchen cabinets. This new TV option looks like it could be fun.

LG smart TV HomeKit and AirPlay 2 support arriving next week
Any smart TV would be good to have this technology, any LG OLED at least. Rather than restricting this to only 2019 models.
