    Harvard Study Proves Apple Slows Down old iPhones to Sell Millions of New Models

    • I'm convinced Apple trashed our iPhone6s a few days before 7 came out. They worked brilliantly then out of no where both ours stopped workingkona
    • with the same issues. touch sensitivity seemed to be off and out of sync with the buttons. random and frequent crashing and freezing.kona
    • i kept both phones so the boys could use them and guess what, a few months later they work perfectly again. can't wait for the iphone 8!!! :)kona
    • FUCK YOU APPLE!utopian
    • why would they trash your iPhone 6 last year but leave literally millions unfazed?monospaced
    • Once a new model comes out, don't update kidsset
    • Not just Apple though. Same thing has happened with my Sonyset
    • The key is to stick with the os that comes with the phone and to never upgrade. I've had my iphone5 running os7 for years without any issue.hans_glib
    • Of course the payoff is incompatibility with new apps and web pages displaying horribly but I can live with that. This phone does all I need, tho I'm hopinghans_glib

    iOS is the worst thing ever. Once you adopt Android its almost impossible to go back to iOS.

    The closer I look at these new 24 inch iMacs, the more I realize how great they are. Fantastic product design. Also happens to be a pretty great deal considering the display quality and tech inside. I would buy one in a second if I had room in my house for a non-work computer.

    Microsoft is killing Apple in every corner.
    What I’ve learned at CES 2017

    Nowhere is it more prevalent than at CES that Microsoft is eating Apple’s lunch. I wrote a bit about this a few weeks ago, when I made the argument that Apple’s lost. We haven’t seen much in the way of groundbreaking innovations from Apple, at least in terms of things that other companies haven’t done or aren’t capable of doing, since the introduction of the iPhone and iPad. Meanwhile, at CES, it’s becoming more and more clear that Microsoft and its partners are now innovating more than ever.

    It's a damn shame how Apple has completely closed off all of it's computers and passes inflated upgrade costs onto the user, which end at the day of purchase. I remember a time when Macs were popular simply because people could keep them going, with upgrades, for many years. Sure, OS 8 and 9 crashed a lot, but we saved after ever move and kept using Macs because they actually were good for creatives back then. Apple knew this, and their friends Adobe did too.

    Remember this machine? It was all about upgrades. It was so easy to open up, there was a special lever just for it, just begging to be used. People kept these going for years.

    I don't understand why there isn't a regular Mac anymore. If there's a Mac Pro, what is it a Pro version of? If there's a Mac mini, what's it a mini version of? A Mac of course, which, really doesn't exist. The iMacs are all-in-ones, so they don't really count, in my opinion.

    Apple, let's get back to making badass machines where computer users can actually get into them to make them do what they want, that allow them to think different. How about that Mac? It should be like the mini, but larger, and open. Let us toss in a graphics card, I don't give a fuck if it's from a short list of supportable hardware, we all know it's not impossible to get decent drivers going for OSX.

    • Plus, if they do come out with a 5K display, there really should be a machine out there to support it. This would be it.monospaced
    • I had / have a Quicksilver G4 with extra ram and an upgraded GFX card. Thing is a fucking star - still works to this day.face_melter
    • I remember back than when adobe would publicly state there apps run better on windows. apple pr said they were good fro creatives, but that was it.deathboy
    • @deathboy, I think there was at some point some benefit to having macs, perhaps something to do with fonts or other shit that was good for desktop publishingmonospaced
    • But this was when we needed high end audio cards, graphic cards, CD/DVD players and whatnot. Now, everything just plugs inIanbolton
    • The only thing that needs updating in my current Mac is my CPU. How could they build a tiny laptop without integrating CPU and GPU into one chip?Ianbolton
    • Eventually everything will be in your Apple Watch, wirelessly running Adobe shit onto a monitor saving your work into a cloud for 10k a month subscription!Ianbolton
    • Thing is, everything doesn't just plug in now for Macs. It's the opposite. I can't toss a GTX 960 into a Mac mini to give it new life. Can't even fix bad RAMmonospaced
    • Ian, I'm not talking about a tiny laptop. I'm talking about a Mac that you connect a display to.monospaced
    • How do I update my bad RAM in my Apple Watch?!Ianbolton
    • And how often do people think about how much RAM they have on their iPhones?Ianbolton
    • The very idea of a gpu and cpu soldered to a motherboard is completely against the idea of ever upgrading. One part goes out, kiss the machine goodbye.monospaced
    • And I know Mono, just being an argumentative shit - for balance ;-)Ianbolton
    • Ian, nobody is doing professional creative work on their Watches and iPhones. I'm talking about a Mac desktop and OS X.monospaced
    • But you could argue that CPU power development is slowing down. But I read that the iPhone 7 CPU is faster than my Macbook air.Ianbolton
    • Everything is faster than a Macbook air. Thats the issue.monospaced
    • But eventually, Adobe and Apple hoping, people WILL be using their watches and iPhones connected to monitors to do all their workIanbolton
    • Fine. For now, why not just make a mini a few inches taller with a lid that opens and some fucking slotted cards? It can still have Apple design finesse.monospaced
    • I guess this is why I liked the idea of that Block Phone thing allowing customisation. But Apple like to hide behind the idea 'everything just works'....Ianbolton

    Does anyone know how to remove the "Noto" Apple font? It's fucking annoying as all hell. And the "Genius Bar" @ Apple have no clue on where to even begin.

    • I don’t have thisnb

    • I’m not at my machine, but why can’t you just throw them out?monospaced
    • I just found out that "Noto" is a pre-installed Apple system font family....they can NOT be removed, disabled or uninstalled. A big Fuck you to Apple.utopian

    • Right click - show in Finder, then use `rm` from the terminal to make it gone. if it's a system font it could cause issues though. and it might auto re-installakiersky

    APPLE MUSIC

    “The software is functioning as intended,” said Amber.

    “Wait,” I asked, “so it’s supposed to delete my personal files from my internal hard drive without asking my permission?”

    “Yes,” she replied.

    When I signed up for Apple Music, iTunes evaluated my massive collection of Mp3s and WAV files, scanned Apple’s database for what it considered matches, then removed the original files from my internal hard drive. REMOVED them. Deleted. If Apple Music saw a file it didn’t recognize—which came up often, since I’m a freelance composer and have many music files that I created myself—it would then download it to Apple’s database, delete it from my hard drive, and serve it back to me when I wanted to listen, just like it would with my other music files it had deleted.

    • If your problem is just principals then there isn't any issues here. That's how teleportation works. Object moves from one location to another.omg
    • The full article explains the problems: it converted the authors WAVs to AACs, for example.nb
    • I'm soooooo glad I never signed up for the free 3-month trial of Apple Music.nb
    • Apple's online solutions have always been absolutely fucking rotten.face_melter
    • I almost lost 160gb of well organized hand picked mp3s with the 11.1 update in 2013. hdd recovery saved me from a complete nervous breakdownsted
    • shittt. i was just about to sign up. think will wait till they iron out crap like this.inteliboy
    • To be fair, there is a difference between Apple Music, and iTunes Match which causes this file deletion shitstorm. But it's still a bad system nonetheless.face_melter
    • I don't use iTunes match, but the Apple Music side of things seems to be working fine for me. All music locally stored. Maybe I'll go read the article now!Ianbolton
    • To be fair, I recall Windows Media Player trying to do something equally dickish to my music folder about a decade ago. Although that was a decade ago.detritus
    • This is what you get when you "buy" something you don't physically control. Fuck the cloud.i_monk
