How about this objection: With attention enabled, how is it any easier for police to force you to look at your phone to unlock it than it would be to grab your finger and force you to unlock your device with your fingerprint? Or beat you un

Regardless of what you call them, Geniuses are just CSRs, and I think we've all gotten ill-informed information about products and services from CSRs regardless of the company. I would stick to official press releases and copy about th

Because this isn't the typical experience for most? I've had nothing but good things to say about Apple's repair policies. If it's in warranty, wander into an Apple Store, explain the issue, come back an hour or two late

I don't agree. I found EarPods very painful, and the AirPods were rough for about a day and then my ears got used to them. They look very similar, but something about how their weighted changes the fit.

I don't see your point. This is true, but it's true for everything. Passwords, biometrics. Even a physical key. If your point is no lock is safe from someone saying "I will kill you if you don't unlock this" then ye

I've never had it replace local files. I would say you should back up your music collection like anything else in case something happens, but as long as the files are there locally I see no reason why it would replace them.

I was on Google Play Music from the beginning, and only left when they cancelled my early access plan without asking me and refused to reinstate it. Apple Music has leapfrogged them in every way, and Google Music has only regressed since la

Apple Music is rapidly evolving. They're putting a lot of effort into it. OS integration is a big one for me, Apple Music is just so seamless. Personally I hate the Spotify UI, search is among the worst, and just like Google Music I fi

They don't. Snapchat is a feature, not a product. They should have sold to Facebook when they had the chance. Now everything novel they had (expiring message, stories, filters) has been successfully aped by Facebook and incorporated in

What makes you think that? A large part of the cost of the iMac is the screen & design. I would expect an entry level new Mac Pro to cost exactly the same or less than every other Mac Pro, so around 3K.

Oh absolutely, it's a good system and many sites already utilize it. I only mentioned the Gmail example because that's what the article was about, it sounded like you were suggesting a solution for that scenario.

It's amazing how long a battery can last when it's connected to a device that doesn't do anything. Have you ever measured the battery life of a battery still in the package? It's amazing, standby time is like years.
