  • Apple to debut multiple ARM MacBook, desktop models in 2021

    This is great news... I bought by 16" loaded MBP assuming it's the last Intel Mac I'll be buying.

    My prediction: It'll be like the PowerPC->Intel switch... when they come out the models with them will see a 2x bump in processor performance.

    (full disclosure my close friend is a processor architect that's ex-Intel and worked with Apple on their ARMs, though he's always been rather tight lipped)

  • Facebook warns users of iOS 13 location tracking permissions

    Title of this should be "Facebook warns users of they'll be more aware of what a MoFo Facebook is"

  • Apple again reportedly planning a new, but larger 'iPhone SE 2'

    Apple gets it but some people don't get it. The days of small screen size phone like 4" are long gone. So called SE2 will be smaller screen than current 5.5"+ iphones but nothing like SE iPhone.
    That's like saying roadsters are long gone... the smallest car that's needed to be built is a crossover SUV :neutral:

  • The road to Steve Jobs' resignation, and the rise of Tim Cook as his successor


    Perhaps the biggest mistake in Steve's career was this succession process. Unfortunately, it seems, he didn't have time to do anything better.
    Complete rubbish, of course. Apple has never been healthier by any metric. I wouldn’t trade any of my new, current products for those of yesteryear. 
    IMO you're correct in general, but I think in terms of the "vision" and potential product pipeline metric Apple has lost a lot with the passing of Jobs... of course we never know what's going on inside, but every indicator and sniff test would suggest that aspect has been greatly diminished... having a brutal dictator who knew where the puck is heading (if not deciding it's direction) was part of what made Job's Apple unique.

  • Titanium Apple Card shows signs of wear after just one month

    This is beyond a first world problem... again an example (well sort of) of where Apple Power users are now Instagram influencers and fashionistas... need to have that card looking good for selfies and likes!
