If you're looking to get the new iPhone 11 Pro Max, there's a lot that goes into maintaining the device. The phone is going to be expensive, so you want to make sure that nothing happens to it. That's why you should get a case to protect it, and we made sure to pick the best of the best. We've found some great cases that are available for the iPhone 11 Pro Max so that you can protect it from day one.

Protect your new phone

Our all-time favourite is the Totallee Thinnest Cover case. It's protective, it's incredibly thin so it feels like you have no case at all, and it works with wireless charging. It's everything you would need in the perfect case.

If you want something simple, but adds some flair to your device, we recommend a GVIEWIN clear design case . The clear ones with a print design are cute and still show off your phone colour. They also perfectly protect your phone, so you won't have to worry about hurting your phone. Also, GVIEWIN cases hold up well over time.

For those who want a nice splash of colour while still showing off the phone, we would recommend checking out the Catalyst Impact case. It's clear, so you're still showing off your iPhone 11 Pro Max, but the pop of colour gives it a fresh look. It's a great choice if you're looking for something that's just a little bold.

• PhoneBuff has put the iPhone 11 Pro Max and the Galaxy S20 Ultra to the test.
• They dropped the phones from different heights to find out which was more durable.
• The scores were mighty close.

A new drop test pitting the iPhone 11 Pro Max against the Galaxy S20 Ultra has surfaced, and we want to know what you think.

The guys over at PhoneBuff dropped both phones from a couple of different heights multiple times to find out which was more durable.

First up, they dropped both phones onto their back. As you can imagine, the iPhone's glass back did not hold up well, shattering in this phase of the testing. Conversely, the Galaxy S20 came up basically unmarked.

Next, both phones were dropped onto their corner. The iPhone took a narrow victory here, but both phones performed well.

Finally, the phones were dropped onto their front. Both phone's screens cracked, the iPhone considerably more, however, both continued to function. As a result, PhoneBuff awarded the Galaxy S20 the victory as a result. The prize? They absolutely obliterated it in a further round of bonus testing.

As both phones survived the three initial tests, PhoneBuff went ahead and dropped both of them onto their front from a greater height of 1.5 meters ten times. As you'll see from the video, the Galaxy S20 Ultra did not fair well, and by the end of it was damaged beyond use. Interestingly enough, the iPhone, which underperformed in initial testing, actually did a lot better later on, only the rear camera of the phone stopped working completely.

So why not take a look below and let us know which phone you think is more durable?

• Travel videographer Harshit Vora to an iPhone 11 Pro Max to Egypt.
• There, he filmed everything from pyramids to some amazing indoor locations.
• The result is breathtaking.

Apple likes to make a big fuss about videography and photography whenever a new iPhone is announced. It was the same with iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro last September and sure, they make some impressive photos and videos. But it's only when you give a phone to someone who knows what they're doing that you really see that power unleashed.

That's what happened when travel videographer Harshit Vora took an iPhone 11 Pro Max to Egypt, as spotted by Cult of Mac. He filmed his travels using the iPhone – in 4K, no less – and there's no denying that the resulting video is breathtaking. I've never been to Egypt, but this video makes me want to rectify that pretty quickly.

Vora doesn't say what was done to the video once his iPhone had captured it, but it's difficult to believe this is untouched. He does go into his travel itinerary in the YouTube video's description, though. So if you want to check out anything you see in the video you'll know where to go!

• Caviar offers a Christmas-themed iPhone 11 Pro Max at $140,880.
• If you'd prefer to save some money, an iPhone 11 Pro costs just $129,080.
• I couldn't think of a third point. I'm still blinking furiously.

Caviar is always the place to go if you want to see how much an iPhone can sell for. The company has a long and storied history of taking iPhones and stuffing them full of gold and jewels, often in the most distasteful ways possible. And it's been at it again, this time making iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro all Christmassy.

There's a lot going into this phone, too. There's yellow and white gold for starters, as well as eight natural diamonds because why not?

No matter your religious leanings I'm sure we can all admit that this is one interesting iPhone to look at. It's also one that you'll need to pay handsomely to get your hands on. Only available in 512GB configuration, the iPhone 11 Pro Max sits at $140,880 while the Phone 11 Pro variant costs just $129,080.

So, yeah. If you're still looking for that perfect holiday gift, I just found it. You're welcome!

• A new teardown has a 512GB iPhone 11 Pro Max costing $490.50 to build.
• Apple sells the phone for $1,449.
• That's around 66% profit.

Whenever a new iPhone is released someone takes one apart and tries to work out how much it costs to build. The bill of materials (BoM) is always an interesting read and that's certainly the case with iPhone 11 Pro Max. Once the phone was disassembled a $490.50 cost was calculated by Tech Insights.

According to the report the phone in question was a Midnight Green 512GB iPhone 11 Pro Max. And it was picked apart in the name of science. The results? Lots of tiny pieces that all look the same. But it's the costs associated with those pieces that are interesting.

Take the camera and image processing hardware, for instance. Tech Insights calculates that to be the most costly collection of parts at $73.50. Following that we have the display at $66.50 with the impressive A13 Bionic chip coming in at $64. Add everything together, including final assembly and testing, and we get the $490.50 figure.

Considering this configuration is the most costly iPhone Apple sells – at $1,449 assuming no trade-ins – that means that Apple is pulling in around 66% profit for each of these handsets. At least, that's what you might think.

But of course the BoM only tells part of the story. It can't take into account shipping. Or the wages of the people who handle construction. Or the cost of the services that come free with an iPhone like iCloud syncing, AppleCare coverage with free support, and more. And advertising, of course. Those white rooms probably cost a fair bit to keep clean.

For a little context, Samsung's 128GB Galaxy S10+ costs around $420 to make, again according to Tech Insights. That model costs $999 making the profit a reasonable 58%. Note the difference in storage capacity, though.

But of course Samsung's BoM doesn't include the intangibles, either. Which brings us back to my original point: these figures are interesting. But they can't tell the whole story.

• The iPhone 11 Pro Max battery is as impressive as Apple said it was.
• In a new battery test versus the Samsung Galaxy Note+, the iPhone 11 Pro Max easily outlasted the Android competitor.
• When the Galaxy Note 10+ died out, the iPhone 11 Pro Max still had 24% left.

Apple unveiled the iPhone 11 Pro Max last month, announcing its various new features such as new camera and increased battery. The latter caught our attention the most because Apple said battery life on the iPhone 11 Pro Max had increased by 5 hours over the iPhone XS Max. The statement has since been confirmed, but how does it stack up against the Galaxy Note 10+?

YouTuber channel PhoneBuff decided to put the two head to head in one of its machine-driven tests. Before we continue, let's get the obvious out of the way: this is not indicative of how normal users use their phone. Apple's Craig Federighi has previously stated these test aren't indicative of real-life usage, but it's still worth taking a look at. At the very least to see how smartphones handle battery life stress tests.

The testing began with seeing how the two devices would handle an hour of sending messages back and forth. At the end of the first test, the iPhone 11 Pro Max's battery was at 92% while the Galaxy Note+ was at 87%.

As more tests were conducted, the iPhone continued to separate itself from the Galaxy Note 10+. At one point the lead was 68% to 60% and the standby test true showed where iOS integration shines. The iPhone dropped 6% while the Note 10+ drops 10%, leading to a 12%.

This continued until the Galaxy Note 10 died while the iPhone 11 Pro Max still had 24%. The iPhone 11 Pro Max easily beat out the Galaxy Note 10+.

Again, this isn't indicative of real-life usage, but it's still impressive to see the iPhone 11 Pro Max battery perform so well under a grueling stress test.

• The iPhone 11 Pro Max topped Consumer Reports' smartphone rankings.
• The iPhone 11 Pro took second place.
• Consumer Reports praised the iPhone 11 Pro Max's battery life, cameras, and performance.

Apple's newest lineup of iPhones have earned praise far and wide, and now Consumer Reports is chiming in. The iPhone 11 Pro Max topped the publication's smartphone rankings, with the smaller iPhone 11 Pro earning second place.

Consumer Reports highlighted the iPhone 11 Pro Max's battery life and also praised the device's triple-camera setup.

Consumer Reports also said the iPhone 11 Pro models earned the top spots thanks to more durable designs, brighter displays, and improved performance.

Despite Consumer Reports declaring Apple's latest iPhone models as its top picks, it said the devices barely edged out the competition.

"Just six points separate our first- and 10th-ranked phones," the report said. Consumer Reports added that some categories are separated by just fractions of a point.

Be that as it may, the iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max are the best smartphones you can buy right now, according to Consumer Reports.

• An iPhone 11 Pro Max and OnePlus 7T were put through a rigorous speed test.
• iPhone 11 Pro Max came out on top.
• The specific test used is meant to be more accurate than others.

Flagship phones being pitted against one another is nothing we aren't already familiar with. We've already shared a few speed test videos showing how the latest iPhones compare with other phones with varying results. This time it's iPhone 11 Pro Max against the OnePlus 7T.

The video comes via YouTube channel Gary Explains, which makes it different to most. Instead of having someone open apps in a certain order in an attempt to recreate real-world usage, this video uses a benchmarking tool called Speed Test G. It's designed to combine traditional speed test methods with benchmark scores, although we're still not entirely sure whether that changes things. Regardless, it's an app that was recently ported to iOS which only meant one thing – iPhone speed tests.

And that's what we got with the latest OnePlus Android phone for comparison.

You can watch the video to see how things went down, but ultimately Apple came out on top and by what appears to be some margin. The company has put a ton of work into making the A13 Bionic the best mobile chip on the market and that shows here. But again, whether these numbers really match up with how the two phones compare when being used, we're not really sure.

Apple VP of software engineering Craig Federighi previously railed against such tests, even mocking how manual speed tests are carried out on YouTube during an interview on The Talk Show. We've linked to the correct timestamp below – stick with it, it's worth the wait.

Apple released iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max on September 20th and speed tests aside, people seem to be very happy with them. And that's probably the only thing that matters.

• JerryRigEverything has posted a teardown of the iPhone 11 Pro Max Teardown.
• The 11 Pro Max has a surprisingly small motherboard.
• Excellent use of recycled components.

With each new year and new Apple products come an inevitability of online content. Alongside battery battles, drop tests and camera comparisons comes some of the most fascinating YouTube content out there, teardown videos. For this latest release, JerryRigEverything has taken his screwdriver to the iPhone 11 Pro Max. You can watch as he meticulously dissassembles the phone piece by piece, giving us a first hand glimpse at some of the brand new components that have given us one of the most impressive iPhone upgrades in years.

One of the first suprises is the gooey, string like adhesive that holds the screen in place once the screws have been removed. There's also the substantially larger L-shaped battery which gives the Pro Max vastly increased battery life compared to the previous XS Max. Perhaps most surprisingly of all however, is the fact that after several minutes of tinkering, the reassembled phone powers on and works just as well as it did before the teardown started. You can check out the full video below!

• The test pitted Apple's new phones against the competition.
• Various apps were used to conduct the test.
• iPhone 11 Pro Max was the overall winner.

A new YouTube video by Arun Maini shows that iPhone 11 Pro Max's battery can outlast Samsung's Galaxy Note 10+ and Huawei's Mate 30 Pro.

When Apple took the wraps off its new iPhones earlier this month it was quick to note the battery life improvements we should expect. It claimed iPhone 11 would last around an hour longer than iPhone XR, iPhone 11 Pro around four hours longer than iPhone XS, and iPhone 11 Pro Max around five hours longer than iPhone XS Max. Now it seems the new phones are lasting longer than the competition, too.

The test involved launching and running multiple apps including Instagram, the Camera app, and some games to try and replicate a normal day of usage. Whether that's actually a real world test is up for debate, but the results do speak for themselves. Apple's iPhone 11 Pro Max came out on top followed by the Huawei Mate 30 Pro.

That result might surprise some given the batteries in play. Apple gave iPhone 11 Pro Max a 3969 mAH battery while the Huawei Mate 30 Pro packs an impressive 4500 mAh part. The combination of iOS and the optimizations of Apple's A13 chip is likely the reason iPhone 11 Pro Max won out.

We'd suggest checking the video out to get the full picture of how things went down, but if you're looking for the king of battery life, iPhone 11 Pro Max is where it's at.

• Jay Freeman is well known in the jailbreaking community.
• He's been testing his iPhone 11 Pro Max.
• Its viewfinder is up to 66ms slower than an iPhone XS.

Infamous jailbreaker Jay Freeman has been suffering from motion sickness when using the Camera app on his iPhone 11 Pro Max. And he thinks it's all down to how much slower the preview is.

Freeman went about testing his theory by using multiple iPhones to capture a running timer on yet another iPhone. As that timer ran, he noticed that the timer was delayed when seen through the iPhones viewfinder. You'd expect that, but the difference between how far the iPhone XS and iPhone 11 Pro Max delayed things appears to be causing the motion sickness.

As Freeman points out, the iPhone 11 Pro Max is anything up to 66ms slower than the iPhone XS which itself delays the feed by around 100ms. As it turns out, that's just enough to bring on motion sickness.

It's important to note that the iPhone 11 Pro Max was running iOS 13 and the iPhone XS was running iOS 12.4, so it isn't clear whether this is down to the newer hardware of something software-related. Freeman did test multiple cameras, too.

This is the first time we've heard of an iPhone causing motion sickness in this way, but users of DSLR cameras have complained of similar things using electronic viewfinders in the past. The cause is believed to be the delay between what your eyes are seeing and your ears are hearing, but we're not doctors. We've never played one on TV, either.

The iPhone 11 Pro Max, like the iPhone 11 Pro, features four colors, Space Gray, Silver, Gold, and new for this year, Midnight Green. Here's a look at each color and which one we like the best and why.

No iPhone is inexpensive, but some are more pricey than others, of course. The iPhone 11 Pro Max, like the iPhone XS Max before it, is the most expensive Apple handset to date. Because of this, we're going with a tried-and-true hue as our favorite model: Space Gray. Yes, the all-new Midnight Green model is breathtakingly beautiful in its own right. Still, we're not sure whether the color will withstand the test of time style-wise like the more traditional Space Gray model.

The Space Gray iPhone 11 Pro is an excellent choice that works well with a range of cases. Understated, yet commanding, it's long been a popular selection for iPhone owners. You might even think of it as the "businessperson's iPhone."

It's classic. It's elegant. It's the little black dress of phones. It goes with everything but doesn't distract from your style. If you're the kind of person that shies away from flashy fashion but want your iPhone to show off your power moves, the classic Space Gray will match your suit, and your workout wear perfectly.

It's the new color, and for a lot of us, that's all we need to know. It doesn't even matter whether we like the color or not. But don't worry. It's nothing wild. It's an understated shade of green, almost more like gray with a tinted green hue. If you want a little color in your life, but don't want to go down the iPhone 11 path of pastels, this green is easy on the eyes, while still being something worth showing off. If you like being the kid on the block with all the new toys, you'll want Midnight Green to show off your new look.

Silver, like Space Gray, is a classic color. This year, the white backside gets a matte finish, and let me tell you, it looks like white satin gloves. If you ever thought white was dull, this beauty will change your mind. It's rich like vanilla ice-cream and clean looking like an Apple Store. It's an Apple design through-and-through. It's got a little bit more of a "wow factor" than the Space Gray. So, if you like to turn heads, but don't like to show off, Silver is more your speed. It balances the line between classic and eye-catching.

Gold is the flashiest color of this group with that gorgeous yellow glint, sparkling at you from afar. If you feel like a queen, this is a queen's iPhone. It's not wild, though. It's more akin to a thin gold necklace or a small pair of diamond earrings. Just enough flash to make people look, but not so much that your friends start questioning your choices. If you want to be noticed, but like to do so in a subtle way ("Oh, me? You noticed my gold iPhone? Why thank you."), the Gold iPhone hits the sweet spot without being over-the-top.

• Phonebuff has released a new video drop testing the new iPhone 11 Pro Max
• This video pits the new iPhone against the Samsung Galaxy Note 10+
• The results vary, depending on the location of impact

There have already been quite a few drop test videos of the iPhone 11 Pro Max by itself, so naturally the next move was to match it up against some competition. Reported by 9to5Mac, that's exactly what Phonebuff has done, pitting the new iPhone against Samsung's equivalent flagship, the Galaxy Note 10+.

The first test drops both phones from a height of around three feet with their backs facing down. The iPhone 11 Pro Max and the Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ both shatter, but the Galaxy shows less overall damage.

The second test drops both phones to ensure they impact on their sides. In this test, the iPhone performs much better and shows much less overall signs of damage. This can be attributed to the fact that the new iPhone 11 Pro models feature a stainless steel enclosure, while Samsung's Galaxy Note 10+ only has aluminum sides. The benefits of this stronger metal is evident in this test, and reinforces Apple's focus into making this a "Pro" iPhone that can take a beating.

The last test drops both phones on their screens, and here the Galaxy does much better. While both screens do crack, the iPhone's screen is much more useless after the drop.

CNET has also just released their drop test of the new iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro. While not a comparison to another brand's model, it does show that the results of these tests can vary widely.

In CNET's tests, they were able to increase the height of drops up to 11 feet before they were successful in breaking anything, but it ended up being the camera, while the glass still remained unshattered.

CNET reached out to Apple about the glass and they released the following statement:

More drop test videos are sure to keep coming, so expect to keep seeing varying results across different types of drops, what the phones are being dropped on, and what phones the iPhone is being compared to. Regardless, it is clear that every year companies figure out how to make the glass on our phones a little stronger. However, until that magical day comes where the glass is virtually unbreakable, you're always risking a crack or a shattered screen if you go without a case.

• Star Wars: The Last Jedi director Rian Johnson shared a video he took with the iPhone 11 Pro.
• Apple gave him the iPhone early and he took it on his trip to Paris.
• He came away really impressed with the ultra wide angle lens and called it a "game changer."

The iPhone 11 Pro offers a lot of improvements over the outgoing iPhone XS, but none are as big as the camera. Apple has spent a lot of time and resources highlighting this, it even gave one to a well-renowned Hollywood director to use and he came away impressed by the camera capabilities of Apple's newest smartphone.

Director Rian Johnson, best known for directing and writing Star Wars: The Last Jedi and Looper, got his hands on an iPhone 11 Pro and took it along for his trip to Paris. He created a short near two-minute video that shows off the amazing video it can take.

Title "Paris 9/19," Johnson released the video on Vimeo. He posted the link Twitter and mentioned how impressed he was by the camera. He notes that normal camera smartphone camera upgrades are "baby-steps," but the new ultra wide angle lens on the iPhone 11 Pro is "a real game changer." George Nolfi, (The Adjustment Bureau, Ocean's 12, The Bourne Ultimatum) also got involved, shooting a film about a child doing soccer ball tricks to impress a crowd. When asked about his experience he said:

The footage Johnson shot looks quite impressive. The ultra wide-angle lens takes an amazing degree of footage and the new digital stabilizer is utterly remarkable. It makes the panning shots look as if the iPhone was on a gimble.

Take a look at Rian Johnson's video and let us know what you think.

iPhone 11 Pro review: The best iPhone has an amazing camera

What you need to know

• iFixit found evidence of bilateral charging inside the iPhone 11 Pro Max.
• multiple sources have informed iMore that this is almost certainly an error.
• according to sources, bilateral inductive charging wasn't slated to ship with iPhone 11.

Update: Rene here. After this story broke, multiple different sources reached out to tell me it's inaccurate or erroneous. There's no bilateral charging in any of the iPhones 11 nor was there intended to be. (Though, I personally have little doubt Apple has considered it - they're smart and rich enough time consider everything. Even if they ultimately decide no or not yet.)

Original story below.

——-

Before the iPhone 11 was unveiled, a report claimed the device would feature bilateral charging. Then, another report said the feature was axed at the last minute. Well, the iPhone 11 was unveiled with no bilateral charging in sight.

iFixit performed its customary teardown of the iPhone 11 Pro Max and uncovered evidence that Apple was indeed planning the feature. iFixit said it discovered two battery connectors inside the new iPhone, suggesting that bilateral charging was supposed to exist.

Here's what iFixit had to say:

Curiously, following the iPhone 11's introduction, a reliable source said that Apple's new devices do feature bilateral charging, but it's disabled through software. That's why iFixit was able to find evidence of the feature's existence.

Apple didn't mention bilateral charging during the iPhone 11 announcement, and there's no evidence to suggest that it plans to enable the feature down the road. Apparently, Apple ran into charging efficiency issues and abandoned the feature so the iPhone 11 wouldn't be delayed.

It would seem that bilateral charging is there, you just can't use it.

The main, primary reason why your old cases won't fit the new iPhone 11 Pro Max is because of the new triple lens camera system. This new camera has three lenses in a triangular formation inside of a square-shaped bump on the back. The dual-lens pill-like shape cutout on previous iPhone XS Max cases will be covering up the new Ultra-Wide camera unless you try something like cutting out a piece of the case to fit the new camera, but that would be ugly.

The new camera system on the iPhone 11 Pro Max is 12MP and has Wide, Telephoto, and Ultra-Wide lenses that all work together for a naturally seamless experience when taking photos and shooting video. With the Ultra-Wide lens, you'll be able to zoom all the way out to capture even more of a scene.

Previously, the iPhone XS Max had dimensions of 6.20 by 3.05 by 0.30-inches. The new iPhone 11 Pro Max has slightly different dimensions, clocking in at 6.22 by 3.06 by 0.32-inches, making it just a teensy bit bigger. The iPhone 11 Pro Max also weighs more at 7.97 ounces instead of 7.34 ounces with the XS Max.

So even if you cut out some case to make room for the camera, the iPhone 11 Pro Max still probably won't fit because the dimensions aren't exactly the same. And if you do manage to get your iPhone 11 Pro Max in an iPhone XS case, it may be tighter than you want, and harder to get out.

The iPhone 11 Pro Max is not cheap, so you should protect your investment. There are already some great cases out there already, as we've rounded up in our collection of Best iPhone 11 Max Pro cases so far. A great affordable option is the Spigen Liquid Crystal.

• An iPhone 11 Pro Max has been taken apart for the first time.
• The new, larger battery clocks in at 3,969 mAh.
• A new rectangular logic board is also used.

It may not go on sale until Friday, September 20th but one iPhone 11 Pro Max has already been disassembled in the name of science. And in the process it confirmed a few things we've been hearing in recent days.

The video, posted to YouTube by DChannel, shows the latest, largest iPhone in all its glory. Guts and all.

A recent TENAA filing told us that the iPhone 11 Pro Max would have a 3,969 mAh battery and sure enough we now know that is definitely the case. That's significantly larger than the iPhone XS Max's 3,174 mAh battery which explains the increase of a whole five hours battery life.

Rumors also had the new iPhone using a rectangular logic board rather than the L-shaped one of recent devices. We now know that is absolutely the case, with the new part laid out in the video. We also get a closer look at the new cameras, too.

Unfortunately for us the video is described in Vietnamese, but as the folks at 9to5Mac point out, it's only a matter of time before the iFixit team takes its own iPhone apart as well.

Apple has a long, frustrating track record when it comes to the iPhone storage options it provides. While companies like Samsung have been offering phones with SD card slots for many years, iPhone owners have been forced to decide between too little or too much internal storage. With the company's iPhone Pro lineup for 2019/20, a similar choice is necessary.

Ideally, most users would be content with a 128GB iPhone 11 Pro/Pro Max model. Unfortunately, that's not one Apple offers. Instead, the choice is between storage of 64GB, 256GB, and 512GB.

With iOS software already taking up some space and the new triple-lens camera system and 12MP TrueDepth cameras on the iPhone 11 Pro Max, storage can fill up quickly if you plan on taking lots of photos and videos. Add to this the bulky size of some iOS games, and we can't recommend the 64GB model.

You're spending a lot of money for an iPhone 11 Pro Max. The last thing you want to do is run out of storage and turn the device into a costly paperweight.

Without a 128GB model, for most, the 256GB size should be the best fit. At this level, you'll have plenty of room for your apps, music, and 4K video.

If you think 256GB is not enough, go with the 512GB. This model has the largest capacity offered by Apple on iPhones, and you'll likely never have to worry about reaching full storage again.

If you plan on doing a lot of 4K video recording with those new camera lenses (Wide, Ultra Wide, and Telephoto), then the 512GB capacity is the way to go. The 4K videos take up a lot of space, and with the larger storage size, it should be enough.

• Apple iPhone Pro Max. It's a mouthful.
• Apple has an unfortunate history of odd names.
• Macintosh SE FDHD, anyone?

In the run up to the iPhone 11 announcement we found ourselves speculating as to what they might call the largest high-end model. Some suggested we might see the name iPhone 11 Pro Max, which sounded a bit ridiculous. And then Apple announced iPhone 11 Pro Max on-stage.

We've been wondering whether there's ever been a more ungainly name for a product, particularly from Apple. And as is usually the case with these things, Stephen Hackett has the answer. Unfortunately, Apple seems to have a history for product names that don't quite roll off the tongue.

Enter the Macintosh SE FDHD from 1987. And the Performa 6400/200 VEE from the 1990s. The list goes on. And on. As a side note, who knew Apple made so many different Performas?

In due course it's likely the iPhone 11 Pro Max name will just become normal, and we won't find it such a mouthful. As Stephen points out, time is a great healer of these things.

Until then, if you want to learn about computers and accessories you never knew existed and will soon wish you'd never heard of, check out Stephen's post. Just be warned, once you've seen the Workgroup Server 95 you'll never be able to unsee it again.
