Same the applies to the complaints about the mouse. It was designed with the charger port on the bottom specifically for 2 reasons: 1) to keep the design aesthetic as similar to the original Magic Mouse as possible and 2) to prevent people

This is one of the few reasons why I'm totally ok with being an early adopter for most of Apple's products. They're not perfect but they're definitely best in class and I feel like they improve with each generation. I co

I don't know why you're getting downvoted. I said this in another post somewhere too but I love the new MBP keyboards. I've had my current machine since launch with no issues whatsoever and I'm a web and software dev s

This is so crazy to me because I love the MacBook Pro keyboard (assuming you mean the one on with the Touch Bar). I know it's personal opinion and there are tons of people that don't like it but I seriously have no issues with it

Wow... nice work. It's not my first foray into data visualization but it will be my first serious attempt at working it from the ground up. Thanks for the info!

Are the Moto X1 and the Nexus the same phone? The parent comment seemed to suggest that they were 2 different phones. Even in that case, what Apple released was slightly different from what AuthenTec had created at the time so I don't

I know. That's my point. People are complaining about decisions made by the company as if they're civil rights violations. "I can't change the default SMS app on my phone!" This has always been the case with the iPh

The idea that the leaks were different during the Jobs era is such nonsense that's purely of the rose-colored glasses variety. The only difference is that now, once the leaks are out, every blog and their mother wants to put their spin

Except that wasn't at all what Android was when the iPhone was released. Android was still a Blackberry clone at that period in time due, in part, to the secrecy surrounding the technology in the iPhone.

The technology used on both of those was not on other phones before Apple did it. "Face recognition" and "fingerprint scanning" are not the same thing as "Face ID" and "Touch ID".

How so? Apple isn't stopping anyone from being able to try and fix something that they own. The only action they've taken is against companies claiming that they're an Apple authorized repair center when they're not.

They used to come with service manuals because they were a collection of simple mechanical parts. Devices nowadays are far more complicated and intricate than the types of things you're referring to.
