Apple shutters Apple Watch gallery in London's Selfridges department store
"The market for expensive watches like Rolex and Patik Philippe has softened since the introduction of the Apple Watch" Lol, the Apple watch - even the gold one - has had zero influence on the quality watch market. No-one outside Apple's marketing department or their freebie receiving celebrity hangers-on thought the Apple Edition Watch was a serious player in the quality watch space, it was a joke. -
Apple patents hover-sensing multitouch display
jkichline said:I'd like to see them match this technology.
Reflective IR proximity sensors have been used for years (maybe decades) in industry.
As for mobile phone implementations of similar technology the 2nd (and 3rd) gen MotoX use IR proximity sensors to detect the users hand approaching the screen to wake it up, that predates this patent application by six months.
Active, reflective IR sensors would be extremely wasteful of energy for a battery operated device.
What's the innovation here? -
Apple expected to ditch aluminum, release glass-backed iPhone with OLED display in 2017
"a glass iPhone will prove just as durable as the aluminum models" not very durable then -
Sharp CEO supposedly confirms Apple to use OLED in next-generation iPhone
I didn't realise before I read this that Apple are still using IPS LCD - in a 2016/2017 device, that's hilarious. OLD-tech display, no HD on the small phone, no SD slot, can't copy files on and off. But, but, but you can get it in shiny black - hahahahahahahh, I have to stop or I'll wet myself.
