On a pretty regular basis I’ll see someone write a thread or blog post about why they’re switching to all stock iPhone apps. The dream seems to be throwing all third party apps to the side and going all in on Apple stuff. Everyone is of course allowed
There's a constant stream of Apple rumors, and you never know exactly how accurate any of them are until months (or years) later, but we never go back to look up how accurate the rumors were, so I wanted to change that today. I went through all the
The new Studio Display reviews are out, and the general consensus seems to be that it's a pretty damn good display with great speakers and a decent-to-terrible webcam that's getting fixed with a software update rolling out as we speak. A few reviewers have criticized the
The Mac Studio looks great, and as a computer lover, I want one just because, but I thought this mental exercise was a good way to determine if it's right for you. Consider an alternate reality where the Mac Studio was released in October 2021, and the new
Apple used their now-famous vague performance charts to show how their new M1 Ultra system on a chip smoked NVIDIA's top-of-the-line RTX 3090 graphics card both in performance and power usage. I believe Apple 100% about the power usage, but the performance numbers are a bit misleading, in
Jason Snell does his excellent Apple report card every year, and while I wasn’t invited (Jason, call me 😊), the report card has been rattling around in my head since it came out and I wanted to add my takes, so consider this a write-in ballot. As a reminder to
The Moto 360 has a cutout at the bottom. Apple fanboys: OMG it’s a flat tire, what trash! The Pixel 3 XL has a big old bathtub notch. Apple fanboys: man, what an ugly notch, Google sucks. The Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra has a tiny notch. Apple fanboys:
Apple's "best I can do is 27%" deal for merchants selling dating apps in the Netherlands is a bit of a laugh, but what would it look like if Apple made this available to everyone? Like let's just say that at WWDC this June
I’m here to say that yes, I notice the notch on the 2021 MacBook Pro every single time I use the computer, and yes, it’s annoying. When these machines came out, everyone went out of their way to say something like, “I don’t even notice it!” and
Apple Newsroom: Time to Run on Fitness+ is a new audio running experience designed to help users become more consistent and better runners, with each episode focused on a popular running route in some of the most notable and iconic locations. […] Each episode is composed of inspiring coaching tips led
Something I've heard again and again in the new MacBook Pro reviews is something like: Apple actually made their device thicker, they never do that! I get the instinct to say that, but I think it rang odd to me this time because I felt this was like
Recently the Podcasts app had a sub-2 star rating on the App Store. That seemed reasonable to many (I noted just 3 weeks ago that it had a 1.8-star rating), but some suggested that this was just because angry people took to the App Store to complain and that
Yesterday Apple announced their Self Service Repair program, and I commented that I was waiting to see what others would think of this. 24 hours later and I’ve read all the takes I could find, and now I think I’ve come to my opinion on the matter. This
On Thanksgiving 2018 I bought the 12.9” iPad Pro and sold my MacBook Pro to pay for it. I was all in on the iPad because I loved it and in retrospect, because it was where all the excitement was in new Apple computers. The iPad Pro was where
Oh man, do I wish I had $3,000 to throw at a computer right now… These machines look insanely good and I’m jealous of every Mac user who’s been waiting to get a new Mac until now because you just got yourself a doozy of an update.
