    Do you think Mac Studio will be around for a while?

    I am thinking about buying a Mac Studio. I understand it's not upgradeable at all (after you buy). I know Apple has launched a few products recently and then stopped making them. The 12" MacBook comes to mind. I don't want to buy a product that may get discontinued around the corner. So, I am...

    Error in audiotrack on Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 3 from iTunes Store in 4K

    I bought the movie on the Danish Apple iTunes Store, and have contacted Apple to report an error with the movies audiotrack. But they can't/won't help as they don't accept responsibility for the digital content provided by Disney (Marvel). Which I find very odd. When played via an Apple TV box...

    Don’t buy an iMac now???

    I see on the Mac Rumors Buyers Guide that it says DON’T BUY under the iMac. Does that mean it’s not a good computer or that a new model is right around the corner??? I don’t want to buy a new one if that’s the case! Any ideas why they would label it as DON’T BUY??

    Purchased Movie Page Now Has a Purchase Button Instead of Play

    I purchased the movie “The Secret of Kells” from the Apple TV store in March. Rather than manually searching for movies in my library, I usually search for them or use Siri. Instead of a play button, it’s now giving me the option to purchase it. When I manually navigate to it in my library, I...

    iPhone 11 Pro USB-C would have made the transition so much simpler...

    With no Lightning-to-Lightning cable and Apple's inexplicable lack of adoption for USB-C on the Pro iPhone line, I had to get creative to try out the new transfer method. Honestly kind of surprised it actually worked! The hub is actually from my third party Nintendo Switch dock! Anyone else have...

    Thinking about buying the MacBook Air

    I'm trying to decide what computer to purchase at the moment. The MacBook Air seems underpowered on paper but I am curious wether or not it's worth it? I play games like Civilization 6, Cities Skylines and Sims4 so I understand I would have to buy the BlackMagic Pro eGPU. I currently own a 2015...
