| MacBook Pro 16" (2019) has some serious hardware design flaws Apple should acknowledge. Posted: 29 Dec 2020 07:22 AM PST I bought a MBP 16" back in Dec '19. Along with excessive temperature spikes (ramping up to 95° celsius just as I open Final Cut Pro!), loud fans and generally abysmal thermal performance, soon after I started experiencing serious instability and straight-up whole system crashes, with kernel panic messages due to hardware errors. One of the crashes corrupted a whole FCPX library and destroyed a whole day's worth of work (x two people) on a project. Hardware defect, I thought, I might just be unlucky. I brought this to an Apple Store within warranty and they immediately found they had to replace the Logic Board (i.e. they basically threw away and replaced CPU, GPU, RAM, SSD, Motherboard) and Touch ID board. They basically handed me over a new machine (they managed to screw up Touch ID button alignment while putting it back together and I had to bring it back and this cost me 2 weeks total of lost productivity, imagine if this was my only computer...) but the SKU is still the same, it's not a "fixed" device we're talking about. After the repair at Genius Bar, MBP managed to successfully export the FCPX project I was working on (before bringing it to Apple it would just, without failure, freeze and crash completely, corrupting random files on the SSD as well). Today, after 6 months, I got another kernel panic launching FCPX, once again related to hardware/CPU errors. I searched online and found out I'm far from the only one:
I'm just so frustrated. Sorry Apple, but on a $3.5K+ machine I expect to have a functional system, one that doesn't crash when I launch a first party, super-optimized, basic editing program I also paid $350 for. You should give me a new system or otherwise just a refund and I'll go somewhere else. Also, publications such as CultOfMac are writing stuff like this: https://www.cultofmac.com/705319/macbook-pro-overheats-charging-from-wrong-side/
Switching the charger to the right port does slightly reduce the temperature in some circumstances, but this is
Sorry for the wall of text but I had to rant. Now, I'm in the EU so I'm still covered under warranty (it lasts two years here). But if they replace the mobo again and the issue resurfaces 6 months or 1 year from now, which I'm sure it eventually will, I'm not spending $2K or whatever it costs to get this thing fixed up again. Apple needs to acknowledge this is a botched design and do it now. Find the root cause of the issue, fix it and replace everyone's machine, for free, like they did when they sold MacBooks with bad keyboards and iMacs with failed hard drives and defective screens.

| Is the iPhone X still worth purchasing? Posted: 29 Dec 2020 06:47 AM PST Hello everyone! I have a friend who was recently given an iPhone X 64GB, but he doesn't know how to use it well, so he doesn't really mind using the older iPhone models. It's still in good condition, and I offered him 350 for it and he said yes. But I'm debating if I should go through with it, as I'm currently using a iPhone 8 Plus 64 GB, and have owned it for around 3 months and it was given as a gift. I have pretty much owned every generation before that and was on the 6s Plus for the longest time, and I'm wondering if I should just find a good deal on a iPhone 11 or something, or even save for the 12 if not wait for the refinements that will come with the iPhone 13.

| Will moving photos from my mac and back disorder them in the Photos app? Posted: 29 Dec 2020 04:56 AM PST I need to make space on my Mac for a week and I would like to know if by moving my photos to external HDD and bringing them back later, will keep all data in the Photos app. (Albums, tags and others) Not for the time I have moved them but afterwards when bringing them back.
