That’s what most of the reviewers seem to think about the new iPhone 7 and the iPhone 7 Plus, which has good features but nothing that could really justify leaving a perfectly fine iPhone 6s/Plus for these. The differences are clearly there for iPhone 6/Plus users, but everyone seems to be not that convinced to …
Much has been said about the removal of the headphone jack in the new iPhone 7/Plus, and John Gruber has added is own commentary: Choosing to do what you *know* will be unpopular in the short run but you *believe* will prove correct in the long run takes courage. The problem with Gruber argument is …

That’s what Google is trying to …

I’ll keep reading what’s going on thanks to Twitter and my smartphone, and yesterday I found an interesting article titled ‘Why I left my new MacBook for a $250 Chromebook‘. There are a few good arguments there to defend a platform that previously wasn’t that easy …
According to recent reports, Apple won’t have just two new iPhones launching in September. They will in fact launch three of them. The iPhone 7 and the iPhone 7 Plus will be the natural heirs of the current iPhone 6s/Plus, but there seems to be another model waiting. It’s the iPhone 7 Pro, which will be the …
There was a time when Intel dominated the world. That time passed and the company is one of the biggest examples of ‘The innovator’s dilemma’.
