During the meeting, Cook offered more insight into why he decided to begin the transition now — and what his plans are for his role as Apple’s executive chairman. more…06:00 pmThe best (and worst) Apple products under Tim Cook [Video]
People love to compare Tim Cook’s tenure to that of Steve Jobs’. They say that Apple hasn’t been able to innovate under Tim Cook and that he never had his iPhone-level moment. In Cook’s defense, no other company or CEO has had an iPhone-level moment since that 2007 announcement. But just because he never had his iPhone moment doesn’t mean nothing happened. Under Tim Cook, Apple didn’t just coast. It built on what Steve Jobs created, and instead of chasing one massive breakthrough, Apple built multiple billion-dollar businesses, expanded into new categories, and turned its ecosystem into one of the most powerful in tech. Think about it, AirPods, Apple Watch, the transition from Intel to Apple silicon, all market disruptors that happened under Tim Cook. So let’s take a look back and see everything from the Tim Cook era. more…06:00 pmOur favorite Apple-beating USB-C cables are now longer and faster
Macworld Last year, we declared that we had switched from Apple’s boring white charging cables to a different make that were more reliable, longer, and available in a wider range of colors for the same price. That brand was Apple’s own Beats, and almost a year to the day after Macworld’s cable conversion the company has a new set of colorful cables that are even longer and now rated to charge devices at a speed up to 240W. The reinforced, tangle-free woven Beats USB-C to USB-C cable now comes in a new 3-meter (10-foot) length, twice the previous 1.5m (5ft). Apple’s 60W cable is available at a length of just 1 meter and its 240W cable at only 2 meters (6.6 feet). Simon Jary The new Beats 10ft cable is available in the same four Beats colors—Bolt Black, Surge Stone, Nitro Navy, and Rapid Red—compared to Apple’s trademark white. You can order this new 10-foot, 240W Beats cable now at apple.com for $29.99 / £29.99. The 1.5m version is still available for $19 / £19 in Black, Red, and Stone, and is also available in a Black twin-pack for $34.99. It remains at a 60W maximum speed. Beats continues to sell a 20cm (8-inch) USB-C 60W cable in black only, for users who want to reduce cable clutter from their charging or synching scenario. Indeed, Beats sells 1.5m and 20cm cables for not just USB-C to USB-C but USB-C to Lightning (for owners of iPhones older than the 15 and various other older Apple devices such as AirPods, wireless keyboards and mice and more) as well as USB-A to USB-C. Beats 60W is fine for iPhones, iPads, and MacBooks such as the Neo and Air. Owners of the MacBook Pro would be better advised to buy cables that can charge at speeds of 100W or more, such as this Beats 240W model.
