  • Apple finally brings lossless audio and low-latency audio to AirPods Max

    They could have avoided the need for any of this and had a better solution by simply using hte H2 chip when they refreshed the headphones. So annoyingly strange that they didn't do that.

  • Apple makes $1.1 billion commitment to expand satellite messaging

    Why don't they just use Starlink?

  • Craig Federighi says macOS would ruin what makes the iPad special

    alandailalandail
    They don't need to merge the OSes, but do need the iPad to be able to run more tools.

    For me I need things like

    - Docker
    - Cursor
    - Terminal
    - Github

    Other people need different Mac tools.

    I don't even want to replace the Mac with the iPad, I will still buy both. But when I travel for a few days I want to be able to leave my Mac at home, but be able to use those tools if something comes up for work.

  • Apple's Eddy Cue is guessing that the iPhone will eventually be replaced by AI

    The whole Google thing is a complete disgrace for Apple and totally hurting their: "pay the premium for our stuff, we care about your privacy" story and reputation. Stop f*cking around and kill that irresponsible deal already. Apple is really lucky their "AI" shit never got off the ground in the first place because they're the ones seeing the least hurt when the current LLM jokes implode for real. We're already seeing the first clear indications of that: The search results are filling up with all the same LLM generated nonsense slob, ranking optimised to show up at the very top, fake information popping up everywhere, search engines starting to provide "AI" assistance to filter through all the shit but hallucinating equally nonsense answers while the "AI" utilities get not only fatter and slower but also yielding worse results because there're no actual quality training data so their in[g|c]esting their own "AI" generated "data". Meanwhile the big companies are trying so sell some hat tricks as reasoning capabilities which is one of the corner stones of actual intelligence. It's a shame Eddy is actually outing himself as the same utterly clueless person as all the other tech leaders, I thought they would actually be different at Apple.
    AI (outside of Apple's) is getting incredibly good.

  • It's still cheaper to import iPhones with 25% tariffs, than assemble in the US

    alandailalandail
    Apple forgot to vertically integrate and optimize manufacturing into the product designs because they instead count on cheap labor.

    It takes 17 man hours of labor to build 1 iPhone. This doesn't include setup and testing time after it's built.
    It takes Tesla 10 man hours hours to build a Model Y. Cybercab will cut this significantly.

    Tesla vertically integrated manufacturing, Apple outsourced it to the lowest bidder.
