    iPad Pro 10.5 inch 512 GB - Just got

    Some apps were not built in a way that they are properly scalable. They'd probably be even "fuzzier" on the 12.9" iPad Pro. The app is being upscaled from the 9.7" resolution to the 10.5" resolution. This can be resolved and will be over time. All of Apple's native apps should support the native...

    12" MacBook (2017)

    It's always good to also look into some of the context for why the Geekbench scores are so much better so that you understand the actual real life performance impact. Two basic things: Kaby Lake chips can turbo higher and they can also turbo faster. For bursty workloads, they will feel *much*...

    Extremely disappointed at the new Macbook Pros

    Really happy with mine - grown very fond of the keyboard and USB-C is nice and flexible.

    2017 Apple Store experience

    1. I don't find this necessarily creepy. It's just very ... very organized. 2: Maybe just that store. All the modern ones modeled after the grove style that I've been in have *tons* of seating all around that can be moved throughout the store (SF, London, others). They also do have bathrooms...

    How's your iPhone 7 (non-Plus) reception?

    Haven't noticed any of these problems. Using TMO.

    Is 3d touch really any good?

    Yeah very specific cases are super nice. - Cursor movement on the keyboard - Peek-preview a link from an email so you don't have to switch apps and switch back when you find out it's not what you want - Notifications interactions on the home screen are worlds better with 3D touch as opposed to...

    New to Iphone 7 Jailbreak?

    The benefits have certainly declined of late. I don't know anyone who jailbreaks iOS anymore.

    Extremely disappointed at the new Macbook Pros

    How about we just wait for the sales numbers at the end of the quarter.

    Extremely disappointed at the new Macbook Pros

    What restocking fee? http://www.apple.com/shop/help/returns_refund - $1500 is crazytown. I'll concede the price *feels* higher but I also feel like I got a lot more. - I'm not having any UI hitching as mentioned by HaukSwe - I have played some games on it both under OS X and Windows and (at...

    Macbook Pro extension base

    Saw a CES video for it... on the right side where that USB-C port is, there is an "arm" that connects the two USB-C ports together, then you remove the screws from the bottom of the MBP and it comes with screws that go all the way through to the laptop to hold the base of the laptop between the...

    I'll be doing just that when mine arrive.

    Gonna try running a Firewire 800 SSD as my iMac boot drive

    Finding the right adapter might be tricky, https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204592 but that'd be a neat way of keeping the computer useful. Maybe this would do it: https://www.amazon.com/AllSmartLife-DisplayPort-Aluminium-resolution-ChromeBook/dp/B017TZTLC6 though by the timeline you're...

    Extremely disappointed at the new Macbook Pros

    This is such an odd narrative that keeps getting repeated. Apple is on track for their best holiday quarter ever on strong iPhone 7 and MacBook Pro sales.

    Extremely disappointed at the new Macbook Pros

    Did you opt for the 450? I've found the 460 so far to be pretty solid all things considered (its power envelope, its ability to not melt the computer as quickly as prior generation GPUs did at full load, and its overall performance in games and in applications for OpenCL acceleration)...
