  • Compared: 2021 New 16-inch MacBook Pro vs. 2019 16-inch MacBook Pro

    Im sure someone has commented above but no Face ID, surely not. Are we still logging in with finger print? Surely not.

  • Apple TV with faster processor, 'Find My Remote' tech could launch in 2021

    Apple TV definitely in need of an update. Remote is inconsistent and one of its weaknesses.
    Ability to zoom in on images would be a nice to have.
    Ability to download images to the device would be useful rather than waiting for the images to load (painful slow despite ultra fast broadband).

  • Level Touch is a compact HomeKit smart lock that can be controlled with a tap

    I bought this and love it. Frustratingly, I had to buy online and have it shipped to my US office who then shipped it to Australia because they don't sell them online to international customers, I then had to download the app via a US App Store account, that said, I could have done without it because of HomeKit.

    Anyway, after a convoluted buying process, I received it and installed it so easily, (even on a door thinner than they recommend). However, the lock is beautifully designed that its almost a shame to hide it within the door. It simply works and no one has a clue you have an automated lock as there is nothing on the outside. Its simply clever as the Skoda ads say.

    Level Lock also provided support, including the how to get auto-lock automation to work around without being prompted first. 

    This is a great lock and I am sure with further firmware updates will get even better, not that here is much you can change.

    Highly recommend this one.

  • Apple's online store could be more expensive for UK customers in the future

    The solution is actually to lower corporate tax to a level that encourages business to pay the taxes and then enforce every cent / pence is paid by those institutions. Lower taxes overall is a good thing but it needs to be fair and reasonable for everyone. Adding taxes only increases it to the consumer, on top of 20% VAT (GST) they are already paying in the UK. It's madness and how the hell does that work when you have a brick and mortar shop and an online shop which in fairness most businesses do these days. Keep taxes simple, fair and reasonable. You can't tax yourself out of debt as it will stifle growth.

  • Icon of rumored iMac redesign revealed in iOS 14

    Surely, not thick bezels around the outside it, far too ugly, edge to edge screen as a minimum. Not sure how you make a monitor different other than thinner and no bezels but anything less would be disappointing.
