While the so-called "iPhone 17 Air" is not expected to launch until September, there are already plenty of rumors about the ultra-thin device.
Overall, the iPhone 17 Air sounds like a mixed bag. While the device is expected to have an impressively thin and light design, rumors indicate it will have some compromises compared to iPhone 17 Pro models, including only a single rear camera, a...
Despite being more than two years old, Apple's AirPods Pro 2 still dominate the premium wireless‑earbud space, thanks to a potent mix of top‑tier audio, class‑leading noise cancellation, and Apple's habit of delivering major new features through software updates.

Apple's $570 million fine from the EU has triggered a sharp rebuke from the White House, which called the fine a form of economic extortion, Reuters reports.
The fine was announced on Wednesday by the European Commission, following a formal investigation into Apple's compliance with the bloc's Digital Markets Act (DMA), a landmark piece of legislation aimed at curbing the market dominance of ...

When an iPad running iPadOS 19 is connected to a Magic Keyboard, a macOS-like menu bar will appear on the screen, according to the leaker Majin Bu.
This change would further blur the lines between the iPad and the Mac. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman previously claimed that iPadOS 19 will be "more like macOS," with unspecified improvements to productivity, multitasking, and app window management,...
Ripoff with junk keyboard. No Apple portable is safe to buy.
iMac is great. Only Last decent Mac that Jonny Ive has not destroyed in the Mac line up with his vanity projects.
Keyboard has been fine for me. (Knock on wood.) Have not had problems with heat or throttling. Overall I'm satisfied with it as a computer, I have as much confidence in it as I've had in any other Mac I've owned.
What disappoints me though is that my 2018 MBP is only 9 months old and already starting to show similar levels of wear on it's finish as the 2013 it replaced. Something is different about the aluminum on these, because it isn't treated any different than the 2013 was.
How incredibly naive. These are desktops, not laptops. If you have multi-TB's of SSD in your desktop, you're not very bright.
Or you need multiple TB of reliable flash storage... Most people don't, though most people spending $1,600 on a computer would expect it to not be handicapped because of the choices made by the manufacturer. macOS has evolved to providing a sub-standard experience when booting from a traditional Hard Drive and an SSD option needs to be standard.
Not everyone needs the bleeding edge PCIe SSDs Apple offers. You can get name brand 1TB PCIe SSDs for $100 now. Everyday users will not appreciate the difference between one of those and the high-end selection Apple chooses to offer for $500 currently, but it will destroy a Fusion Drive still.
This is the single most critical component that impacts overall performance of a computer for 98% of users. Apple still treating it like something exotic should be embarrassing.
I just wish they'd come with proper GPUs... like dead set, all you can get is dodgy integrated graphics!!!
Recently I've been searching for a new Mac that can play: - Shenmue 1 & 2 (requires a GeForce GTX 650 Ti which is a ~2012 mid-range GPU). - Shenmue 3 (not yet released) - Dreamfall Chapters (may struggle with a GTX 650 Ti... high requirements because it's an ambitious indie game) - A few emulated Saturn and Dreamcast games using Mednafen and Redream
If the Mac Mini and iMac came with a modern, mid-range GPU (like a $300 GPU... not unreasonable IMO!!) then I could confidently murder any of the above games (only 3 circumstances because I'm not really a gamer... I just wanna play some casual games).
Instead, my options are to: - Buy a Mac Pro for $$$$$$$$ (way more than what I'm willing to spend on a casual machine) - Buy a hackintosh and put up with having to hack it (and pray it will still work) after every update - Buy an eGPU for $$$$$$$$ that could buy me a high-end GPU instead (i.e. pay way too much for mediocre gear) - Buy a PC and a Mac (although I don't want a PC) so that I can use the PC for casual gaming and just accept that Macs can't even do casual gaming
IMO the current Mac lineup is a sick joke. Add to it the fact your HD and RAM can't be updated and cough cough... I'm finding it really difficult to justify upgrading my ~2012 Mini and ~2010 MBP because: - My current models have upgradable RAM and HDs - My current models are fast enough - There's no guarantee that new models are gonna get a few not particularly demanding games over the line... it's really annoying that we're forced to either accept mediocre graphics, fork out $$$$ for so-so graphics or decide that Apple's not for us... I've been a fan since the 80's and this is the first time Apple's current-gen graphics setup has been inadequate for casual gaming
For playing games you don’t need a Mac. Get a cheap PC or build one to your dream specs JUST for the games and be done with it. Mac is not for games still holds true. There is nothing wrong on having a games PC and a Mac for the rest.
