18:53 We’re that stupid.

[@craigneidel]

Maybe. Starting to think so

[@klosenuf]

Got the M4 pro base model mac Mini for 1199 at microcenter. Good vid as always.

[@craigneidel]

Thanks. Nice deal.

[@jaydeeh77]

Happy Holidays Craig… great video! 💯👏

[@craigneidel]

Merry Christmas and holidays... Thanks.

[@thomasjacques5286]

Please relocate the charging port.

[@craigneidel]

That doesn't bother me as much as shape of mouse

[@jeffharmed1616]

Yep 1) charge port at the front & able to use the mouse whilst charging 2) USB 3 charge port option 3) larger mouse 4) extended skid pads towards the front to prevent tipping 5) “3rd button”. Normally it’s the scroll wheel that you press on the Logitech mouse. On the new Apple mouse it could be a 2 finger press

[@vgsuri]

Happy Holidays Craig. Have a good one,keep it up.🎉

[@craigneidel]

You too happy holidays

[@asan1050]

Fix that MOUSE! Thank you very much! Craig Happy Holidays!

[@craigneidel]

Yes, we need that fixed for sure. Happy holiday and merry christmas

[@digitalmarketinghumans]

Weekend Apple News, Happy Holidays Craig and hope you have a Merry Christmas!

[@craigneidel]

You too happy holidays and merry Christmas. I ranted a bit in this one.

[@digitalmarketinghumans]

@@craigneidel Love your rants sometimes 😂

[@craigneidel]

I'm glad somebody does.. Funny.

T-Mobile is doing a beta for their direct to cell service next year, it will only do text at first with data and cell service to come later. The beta is open to a limited number of customers with priority for 1st responders. I think it’s 4g lte right now

[@craigneidel]

Ok, thanks for the info.

[@jaymeez]

I gotta buy iPhones for my niece and nephew. Does Apple typically have sales near Christmas? Want to get them iPhone 16’s

[@craigneidel]

Yes, but they are not very good on iPhones.

[@kamertonaudiophileplayer847]

The current mouse you can use on left or on right, but the design you showed is good only for right hand.

[@craigneidel]

That is the most used mouse for professionals right now so I showed it.

[@kamertonaudiophileplayer847]

@@craigneidel I think Apple is trying to satisfy all groups of users by one mouse. But maybe Apple will give the mouse to professionals.

[@craigneidel]

@@kamertonaudiophileplayer847 I hope the make it better after 15 years.

[@alemacgirl]

An OLED iPad Mini would be awesome

[@craigneidel]

Let's hope

[@brothermunkdrums]

never had an issue with the Magic mouse tbh

[@craigneidel]

@@brothermunkdrums it's just not my choice in mice. I would say 75 percent of comments are negative on it but some do like it and that is fine too.

[@brothermunkdrums]

@ 💯 just personal preference

[@craigneidel]

@brothermunkdrums yeah but its way too flat and most would agree with that I think.

[@thomask1424]

The big flaw with the current Magic Mouse is the painfully low polling rate, fix that.

[@craigneidel]

@@thomask1424 there are many issues for sure.

[@digitalmarketinghumans]

Yeah, good call on the Intel Mac support...that just means that I may never upgrade my macs now until they stop working on my 2020 Intel Macs. I still love my 2020 Intel iMac. It's such a beast!

[@craigneidel]

@@digitalmarketinghumans I still use my 2017 27 inch.

[@jeffstanger88]

AI is a solution without a problem.

[@craigneidel]

Yeah it's going to make people forget how to learn.

[@CapitanHarlockisback]

They said the same for the internet.😂

[@jeffstanger88]

@@CapitanHarlockisback Jury is still out on that invention too...

[@mterakedis]

The Cooking Mama franchise has been around for quite some time and is very popular.

[@craigneidel]

@@mterakedis yeah but it still should not be popular in my opinion. I mean cook real food.

[@patrickmolloy6994]

I still love my iMac 5k 27" 2017. Pity they haven't yet replaced it ! I still hear rumours of an "update"... heard it was due 2024, now 2025 ...

[@craigneidel]

Yeah, I still use my 2017 with 48 GB ram and love the 5K for sure.

[@darylcheshire1618]

I got a Logitech mouse because I wanted the two buttons. I think Apple intended to have the port underneath, it’s not that it took 15 years, they intended it that way. Probably they didn’t want people to use it whilst recharging.

[@craigneidel]

It's more the bad ergonomics for me.

[@Lost_in_southern_california]

The new mouse better be a home run if they need an additional 18 months to bring to market.

[@craigneidel]

Yeah a small Chinese company can create one in about a week. It better be 150 times better.

[@bryans8656]

I suspect the reason we won't see a 27" iMac Pro is because of the Mac Studio Display. Add a desktop like the M2 Studio Max or M4 Pro Mac mini and you've got both the power and the screen.

[@craigneidel]

Yes, I agree they are pushing people to buy the monitor.

[@rorywalters1614]

I think the Magic peripherals are way too portability focused right now. Especially the Magic Keyboard 2, it’s so close to perfection for my usage……except for the hight. I had to use a laptop kickstand to rise the keyboard up higher. The typing experience is very good, way better than the terrible Magic Keyboard 1, those wobbly keys feel like garbage when typing. But one thing it got right was its typing angle, not as flat as the Magic Keyboard 2.

[@craigneidel]

Yes, I agree and like that keyboard also when compared to the mouse.

[@tiitulitii]

I would absolutely prefer a marble mouse like an improved Logitech Trackman Marble mouse. It is so much better than any other optical mouse!

[@craigneidel]

Thanks for the post

[@CapitanHarlockisback]

The only “magic” in the Apple mouse is price.

[@craigneidel]

It's pretty bad.

[@allanfromm]

Re Air Tags, Apple really needs to make it easier to change the batteries. It is really difficult to do when you have arthritis in your fingers.

[@craigneidel]

They are not easy that is for sure.

[@digitalmarketinghumans]

Wow I didn't realize Cooking Mama is still popular. I played that game in 2006...long ago...and it's still going. I think it's popular because it's just the fact that it's been around so long plus Nintendo pushes it a lot. 18 + year game where now the group of people who bought that game who were maybe...6 year old kids are now 20 something. So yeah, this does kind of makes sense. In terms of virtual cooking or cutting lawns and stuff, yeah, I get what you mean. People are into their own virtual reality world instead of dealing with the real world lol. Oh well, who am I to judge. I am in my late 30's.

[@Peepaw1234]

It's like people texting each other while sitting next to them. Play games instead of doing something.

[@craigneidel]

Funny, thanks for the comment. I just never got those games like the one where you cut the grass too. Why do chores for a game. But that is what makes the world go around I guess and we are all different which is fine.

[@wilty5]

Congress had a provision in the latest bill that would ban USA businesses from sharing or using American technology in China, ELON objected to this proposal because he has at least one factory in China, & as far as I understand it, you have to give china all your secrets to technology etc in order to be allowed to do business in their country, they then take that info and compete with you in the same space, ELON is not afraid of sharing his knowledge and secrets, he believes it’s ok to do so, needless to say Congress took that mandate out of the bill without prioritizing our national security over the wishes of a billionaire, who is one of the richest men in the world, and may be at the top of the billionaires club

[@craigneidel]

I don't know if that is the reason why but it's your opinion which is fine.

[@shaunod6745]

Gemini and chatgpt are so far ahead of apple intelligence. There are claims that chatgpt has achieved agi level. I can't imagine what they will like in another few years

[@craigneidel]

@@shaunod6745 it's a bit scary for humanity for sure.

[@techmaester]

The keyboard and mouse are overpriced, feel cheap, and don’t last long compared to $50 Logitech keyboard and mouse. You use recyclable alkaline batteries, not environmentally hazardous unrecyclable lithium. The design is flat, uncomfortable, and won’t work if you don’t want Bluetooth enabled. Grade: D.

[@craigneidel]

The mouse is way too flat for sure.

[@movdqa]

That Logitech looks sick. I think that Apple should just buy Logitech.

[@craigneidel]

That's the most used mouse I think

[@movdqa]

@@craigneidel It looks incredibly comfortable.

[@jansix4287]

Piece of trash. 💩 Apple will never buy Logitech and never design anything remotely as hideous. If you want an awful mouse, you must buy it somewhere else. 

[@jansix4287]

Also there will never be a foldable anything from Apple. It’s just a terrible experience.

[@movdqa]

@@jansix4287 I hope that they don't do foldable. I imagine the cost for AppleCare would be monstrous.

[@jamescarlson486]

One of life’s mysteries, Apple is a trillion dollar company with a fabulous space ship Headquarters, yet takes 15 years to make a new mouse???

[@craigneidel]

Yeah crazy for sure... Sad but it is what it is I guess.

[@techmaester]

I have used Logitech with infrared 2-3 year battery life. They are the leading brand for keyboard and mouse for good reason. USB 2, not Bluetooth. Don’t care if they’re plastic, the comfort is better.

[@craigneidel]

I like Logitech for sure.

[@lenniemoses8003]

It’s not that they can’t do it. They’re just stubborn lol.

[@bobadams6062]

That stupid. Figure half the country voted for Biden in 2020. What does that tell you.

[@craigneidel]

I don't get into politics here but if you are on dem or republican side people have to see he has dementia and is not running the country now.

[@6StringPassion.]

Can't stand the magic mouse. It's my mouse of last resort.

[@craigneidel]

Me too and I only use when I need to.

[@graphguy]

a real mouse would be nice, I hate the pos magic mouse.

[@TalesOfWar]

Good thing you don't have to use it then, eh?

[@craigneidel]

Only few like it. I don't.

[@YaThinKnow]

5-8 year old kids use these cooking apps, most of the arcade games are used by children which is 1/3 of the world population, your in your world, time to expand your expectations in life for all.

Yeah, still not a great game and I know for a fact that kids in their teens are playing these even more than 5 year olds.
