I know Mac die-hards hate the relatively new Chrome (and Edge) behavior where you have to hold down the CMD+Q command to actually quit the app, but I actually love it. I don't want this for every app, but it can really save your bacon in a
So I’ve spent a while explaining why I think the 30% cut Apple takes on every sale made on the App Store is not the way it should work in 2020. To summarize: 1. I looked at how taking your own payments is way cheaper than 30% 2. I
My days-long exploration of App Store pricing has not resulted in actual fisticuffs, but it’s certainly helped me understand why some people feel that “this is fine” and devs should deal with it. The biggest thing people keep coming back to is “the App Store needs to break even”
I keep thinking about this 30% cut Apple gets on App Store purchases. The conversation usually has three general sides: 1. 30% is the right number 2. 30% is too high and it should be lowered to something like 10% 3. 30% is okay, but merchants should be able to
Quinn Nelson put out a video yesterday about "Big Sur's Big Secret" I should have shared this thought earlier, but from the moment this year's WWDC keynote ended, I was convinced every Mac made with Apple Silicon is going to have a touch screen.
How the Apple Watch tracks sleep -- and why - CNET Unlike other wearables such as the Fitbit or Oura, which measure how much time you spend in the various sleep phases and even give calculated sleep quality scores, Apple's sleep tech is more simplified. It just tracks
I don’t talk about this too much on the site (separation of work and hobby), but I happen to work in the payments industry and the has proven to be both helpful and a cause of madness this past week. It’s been helpful because I not only know
I've seen some defenses of Apple's now-modified-enforcement of App Store guidelines that go a little something like this: If you think apps should be able to freeload on Apple's App Store distribution, but then not give Apple a cut of their revenue, then you
Bar none, the biggest issue I run into on the iPad is dealing with local storage. Like, by a mile. I'll give you an example that happened to me tonight. I recorded some video of the new Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 Remake this evening and wanted
I tweeted out a link to Joshua Vergara’s well-made review of the new Samsung Galaxy Book Flex, because one bit stood out to me. He says: There’s wireless power share in the touch pad. Talk about being nimble, if you’re watching something on the screen[...] and you’
What if Apple built Windows? Out there question, I know, but stick with me on this one. If Apple made Windows, would you like it more than you like it day? The features would be the same, and maybe it would work more smoothly with Apple’s iCloud services, but
Not your average Magic keyboard review.
TLDR: The 45W charger was faster in both the iPad Pro’s built in port, as well as the one in the Magic Keyboard’s hinge, but you lose about 25% of the speed when using the Magic Keyboard’s port. Both ports are still faster than the stock 18W
Look, one of these tests is going to produce interesting results eventually… I charged my iPad Pro up to 100%, turned the screen to 100% brightness, opened a Numbers document, and comitted to typing a little gibberish every minute for 2 hours to make sure the keyboard stayed active and
The new iPhone SE officially comes out today, and I have had strange feelings about this phone since it was announced last week. That strange feeling? “Why the hell isn’t this my phone?” See, I’m currently using an iPhone 11 Pro, and have been spending $700-1,200 on
