An Apple Vision Pro successor may need to be tethered to an iPhone or Mac
Tethering it to the iPhones makes perfect sense.

When to expect every Mac to get the AI-based M4 processor
I keep wondering what will become of the MacPro. Apple needs at least one truly expandable computer that includes RAM and GPU expansion.

Apple Intelligence wasn't trained on stolen YouTube videos
Actually it does under copyright law. Copyright protections are not absolute, nor were they meant to be since they eventually expire.wdowell said:So that’s all ok then as they didn’t use it one thing but on another ? ߘ⦡mp;nbsp;
... but to somehow say it’s any more ok because it wasn’t used for Apple Intelligence but instead another is just comical)
But before expiration, Fair Use Doctrine must be taken into account for socially beneficial activities such as teaching, learning, and scholarship [research].Copyright and Fair Use
https://guides.lib.uci.edu/copyright/copyright_how_to_useIntroduction
The Fair Use Doctrine protects the use of copyrighted works for socially beneficial activities such as teaching, learning, and scholarship. Courts consider four factors in deciding whether a use is Fair Use or an infringement:
- Purpose of the Use (learning, commentary, criticism OR commercial);
- Nature of the Publication (factual OR creative);
- Amount and Substantiality of the Whole (small OR substantial);
- Effect on the Market (has no effect OR replaces a sale).
Does copyright protect data?
Copyright law is, for good or for ill, an increasing concern for academics in their work. One area receiving particular attention is the copyright status of data and data representations. The Copyright Act and relevant case law are clear on copyright protection for data in the United States: there is none. This excellent site on the Copyrightability of Charts, Tables, and Graphs from the University of Michigan explains why.

Norway gets world's first Apple Pay alternative for iPhone
Nothing beats Apple Pay features, security and privacy. Not touching anything else unless it's a special needs situation.

Apple can do this because what they need are specialized materials that require a lot of skill to make.

J.D. Vance shouldn't open his mouth about Apple if he doesn't have a clue
Tariffs will have the most impact on lower and middle-class consumers. Just walk into any Walmart where almost everything is made in China or imported from another country.StrangeDays said:
Also worth pointing out that the foreign nation (China) does *not* pay these tariffs, the US-based importers and distributors do. And they just pass it on in the form of a higher price tag, as you've described.foregoneconclusion said:The whole point of tariffs is to increase the domestic prices of the goods that are subject to tariffs. It makes them less competitive versus the goods that don't have the tariff. The problem with just generally slapping a tariff on anything manufactured in China is the sheer volume of products that it would impact. In many cases, American consumers wouldn't have a cheaper choice. Everything would be priced higher due to the tariffs.

What Apple TV hardware will run the new tvOS 26
Wow. I have the HD version. 10-years is a good run. I'm still very happy with it. -
Qualcomm study unsurprisingly says Qualcomm modems beat Apple's C1
Like Apple, Qualcomm doesn't just make modems. They also make mobile ARM processors. But when it comes to chip silicon design they are the leader in performance per/watt. So maybe Qualcomm will be a bit faster but Apple's modem will be less expensive, consume less power and take up less space inside the iPhone. In the end, the difference in speed may not matter much.johnwhite1001 said:
It is not likely Apple will ever exceed Qualcomm. Qualcomm has so many patents for technology needed for peak modem performance. Very unlikely so I guess I will end up switching to Samsung in a couple of years.Xed said:johnwhite1001 said:sflocal said:johnwhite1001 said:Qualcomm have always been the best modems. Very disappointing that Apple is trying to incorporate inferior technology in iPhone. Apple always has to try and save a few cents - and yet still charge the highest price for a product.

Bipartisan 'Open App Markets Act' resurrected to challenge Apple's App Store control
Where is the consumer choice for a closed platform? A Wall Garden? Why is that choice being infringed! -
New Sonnet Echo 5 hub has three downstream Thunderbolt 4 ports, one USB-A
Most of these hubs are just rebranded, like this one. You'll see the exact same port layouts.
