Code hints at custom Apple Maps routes coming in iOS 18
I would just like Maps to allow me to Input a Starting Point (other than where I am now located) and a Destination Point, with the option to Input Several Waypoints In Between.Maybe it already exists and I just haven’t figured it out. But, I don’t want to have to go back and forth trying to figure things out just to get a simple Route, Distance and Time.1) Input Starting Point - Bam!
2) Input Destination Point - Bam!(Maps Instantly Updates Routes, Distances and Times)
3) If Waypoints are desired, enter them as Step 2) 3) etc. until your Final Step is your Final Destination.Or, Allow for Adding Waypoints after Steps 1) and 2) by clicking on an Add Waypoints Button.Allow for rearranging Start, Destination and Waypoints by Dragging them Up or Down or Clicking on an Invert Route Button. Select One of the Waypoint or Destination (or even the Starting Point) and Delete them and have everything Instantly Update.Maps always seems to be doing what It Wants To Do rather than what I Want It To Do!Another thing I would like to see is the ability to Save that Route (and maybe Name it too)
for easier Recall. I would also like to see Multiple Routes Displayed on the Map at the Same Time, to be able to Plan Different Segments, even if they have No Points In Common.As an aside, I have a beef with AppleInsider:
When trying to zoom in on a photo in an AI article, I somehow (accidentally) touch the photo and it darkens, as though I have selected it. I never intended to select it. I just wanted to get a better look at it. The only way to see it again is to touch another photo, which darkens that photo but lets the original photo become visible again, or else refresh the URL.Is this an AI only problem, or an iOS problem?
Whoever screwed this up needs to Fix it! -
Apple says 'stay tuned' to free app developers in the EU worried about fees
“The Core Technology Fee as it exists today in the European Union could bankrupt a developer making free apps”Doesn’t Faze Letitia James!Especially if you live in New York and the little (?) tike’s name is Barron Trump! -

Is Apple turning into Boeing?

New EU rules would force Apple to open up iMessage
Let the EU Build their Own Phone, Operating System, Messaging System and Communications Network!
They already do that for Combat Aircraft . . . oh, yeah, they have the French, British and Italians building different or ordering different (American) Aircraft and Systems.Don’t think Lockheed and Boeing are going to turn over their Software Code to the EU. And I don’t expect Airbus to giveaway their Proprietary Secrets to the US, in Military or Commercial Products.At least the Israeli’s do their own Research and Modifications to make their aircraft viable for their purposes.

Inside Apple's Singapore Marina Bay Sands retail store
Thank You for your Service.JP234 said:
Well congrats for living so long. I bought Apple Shares when Jobs was rehired as "temporary" CEO. I bought Microsoft even earlier, when I saw a Windows 3 demonstration at the local Elek-Tek store, and thought "this is the future!" Still own both, and with splits, growth and reinvested dividends, I've become more affluent in my declining years than I could have dreamed when I was delivering the papers 7 days a week on my bike (in Chicago in January!). I don't use Windows, but I sure know plenty of people who do!aijws said:Boomer appears be my age and I too delivered the Chicago Papers (in Michigan) when I was young.Stocks go Up and Down. That’s where you make your money. If you really wanted to make money off Apple, you should have (maybe you did) bought Apple when it was at $10 a Share.I had a Chance, but decided not to (and you can all thank me) as I bought Commodore, which made the Amiga. As you may know, Commodore was scammed by the higher-ups and went Bankrupt.
The reason I didn't buy Apple is, I didn’t want to Jinx and Bankrupt my only other alternative to Windows. And, at the time, Apple was teetering on the Brink too! So, your Welcome! I sacrificed Millions so you all could have an Insanely Great Computer and other Products. No Dividend needed. The only reason for Stock in the First Place, in Silicon Valley, is to entice Workers (Engineers and Managers) to Join the Company.As far as the Sphere goes, it doesn’t look like a True Sphere to me. It has several Latitudes of Flat Curved Panels. The Ground Floor seems to imitate Apple Park with its Curved Glass and Sun Shades, but the Upper Panels look like they cheapened-out. There was a chance to do some really Innovative Vertically and Horizontally Compound Curved Panels for a Seamless (from a Distance) True Sphere that would have been on Par in Design and Construction with the Space Ship in Cupertino!Glad you could use your Bike on the Paper Route. With the Snow, it was just easier for me to walk the route from Door Step to Door Step,
although they didn’t appreciate that in the Summer, trampling their Greens. Amazing how much Snow we lived through back then and now a “Bomb” Cyclone is like Armageddon. Lived in Chicago for a bit and remember walking a few Blocks to the Laundromat and almost having Frost Bite on my thighs with the 60 Below Wind Chill. All because my car was Frozen in Place when the Snow Plows buried it under a mountain of Slush.My main reason for commenting was due to the Architectural Decisions Apple used on the Store. I don’t think Steve Jobs would have approved such a Concept without considering every Minor Detail, and that includes the lack of Precision in the Shape of the Sphere.When he did a Cube, he did a Cube.When he did a Cylinder, he did a Cylinder.If he was going To do a Sphere, he’d do a Sphere.
