'Apple Watch Series 6' expected to have better waterproofing, wireless connectivity
PhillyJim said:I was so sure that we would have a round version of Apple Watch by now. Especially when I saw some of the complications rounded off and tilted in the corners. Wonder what happened. -
Whistleblower casts doubt on Apple's claims that it doesn't silence employees
Anyone else getting a bit weary of complaints that seem to be supported by Cher Scarlett and...basically nobody else and no other evidence?
Also, asking someone to sign an NDA does not equate to "silencing" them. This should be blatantly obvious from the get-go, right? But in this case it's even more blindingly obvious: she refused to sign, and here she is complaining to her heart's content.
So perhaps I am just dim or obtuse, but I'm having trouble seeing what the actual problem is, here. She wants to be an Apple critic, she apparently planned to be an Apple critic starting about fifty milliseconds after getting hired by Apple, and, lo and behold, here she is being an Apple critic, unhindered. Great. Have at. -
Apple sacks iPhone X engineer after daughter posts hands-on video to YouTube
shapetables said:Most people support Apple's decision, but they don't stand a chance when this engineer realizes he has to take it to court (because he may not work again, at least at the same level). The reason is that double-edged sword that Apple uniquely wields in controlling the technology, not to mention that facility. A reasonable person might ask how much it would have really cost Apple to ensure that phones could not film without first obtaining a code number or other authorization and what precautions were taken to assist employees with authorized visitors in complying with the security policies. The answer to these questions probably mean this girl will have her education paid for while she stars in her own cable show. -
Samsung's new Galaxy Watch 4 models are not iOS compatible
OutdoorAppDeveloper said:Super desirable watch and the $250 price is reasonable too. If this were an iWatch we would all be falling all over ourselves to hit the buy now button. The health features are way better than an Apple Watch too.

Apple prepares iOS 19, macOS 16 'Solarium' UI overhaul for WWDC
MassiveAttack said:Apple can´t afford to continue with their tiny uprades from WWDC to WWDC.
WWDC 2024 was a disaster after Apple has failed to deliver what Apple promised.
Google I/O was an "All or nothing" event with survival instinct to overcome risk of their existence. Google made a great job with I/O.
Open AI steps up with Jony Ive to open a new chapter.
After those revolutionary steps from others, people clearly expect from Apple to responde with similar steps.
What do you want Apple to "respond" with? Buying a one-year-old startup for billions of dollars and leaking vague rumors of a product?
As for what Apple can "afford", "afford" is an English word with a clear meaning. Have you looked it up? Apple can manifestly "afford" to do whatever the fuck it wants, and its financials remain quite solid. As does the product line. -
Apple supplier Pegatron says tariffs will mean third world-style shortages for US
sdw2001 said:Oh, look, calling his tariffs “nonsensical” and using scare quotes. Shocker.Um, they are nonsensical; they are literally nonsense. And the quotation marks are entirely appropriate here, because Trump is trying to claim that the tariffs are "reciprocal", but they aren't. Words have meanings. In this case, the use of that word is plainly a lie. And that's what the quotation marks are signifying here—use of a word in a context where that word is hilariously untrue.
How about you just keep quiet until you have a legitimate point to make. -
The metaverse is 'off limits' on Apple's VR headset, claims report
starof80 said:If the rumors about this is true, Apple would be smart to reconsider about getting in the Metaverse. They will be left behind. -
New Apple Silicon has arrived with M3, M3 Pro, and M3 Max chips
thadec said:I have seen in forums that the M3 still only supports 2 displays. Meaning that people are going to pay $1600 for an M3 MacBook Pro that can only support a single external monitor. Granted, the Lenovo IdeaPad Duet 3 Chromebook can only support a single external monitor, but that is because it is a $280 device that runs on a 32 bit SOC that was designed in 2017. (Moreover it is technically a tablet and not a laptop.) So can someone please explain this limitation with Apple Silicon's base chips? Whatever it is, you can bet that the Qualcomm chips in 2024 as well as the Nvidia and AMD ARM chips in 2025 aren't going to have them. -

It's official -- 'Ted Lasso' is getting a fourth season
mrstep said:tiredskills said:AppleInsider said:"As we all continue to live in a world where so many factors have conditioned us to look before we leap,'" executive producer and star Sudeikis said in the release, "in season four, the folks at AFC Richmond learn to LEAP BEFORE THEY LOOK, discovering that wherever they land, it's exactly where they're meant to be."
OTOH, Slow Horses is excellent.
