This may be why Apple's Weather app doesn't show 69-degree temperatures

Apple's 'Mother Nature' sketch was a complete dud, and didn't belong in the iPhone 15 even...

YouTuber wrecks car to test iPhone 14 crash detection
I feel the 10 seconds delay is very short. Chances are I want to try to unbuckle my seatbelt or get out of the car or check other passengers first. And you wouldn’t want people just deactivating it quickly so that they can actually hear others, and then perhaps passing out.
I’d have thought that 15-30 seconds would have been better, with negligible difference to someone unconscious.Though no doubt Apple have researched this thoroughly, whereas I’m just armchair speculating. -
Apple discontinues full-size HomePod, to focus on HomePod mini
I really wanted to buy 2 or 3 of these. I was waiting until they became available in Ireland, but which weren’t yet due to.......Siri specifics, presumably. 🤷🏻♂️ Even though I’d say that’s very much a minority use (and even more so given my experience of Siri, which is almost always disappointing.)Myself and a few others were considering driving the 2hrs to buy them in Belfast. Where they’re available and work because it’s UK. 🤦🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️It felt to me like an untapped market just yet to mature. -

Apple doubles down on self-driving safety research for 'Apple Car'
Again, better to use the terminology of crashes or collisions, not accidents.Cars are dangerous machines and there will be deaths when the rumored "Apple Car" gets into accidents.An accident would be a vehicle slipping on oil or black ice (assuming the driver was driving appropriately) - ie generally unavoidable at the time and no one is at fault.A collision or crash is something preventable. For example, by a human driver driving at the correct speed for the circumstances, or not checking their phone, or not driving tired or drunk. Or by a driving software leaving sufficient braking distance, or recognising and knowing how to respond to a potential hazard. Or by hardware being properly checked and serviced. Etc. -
Apple reveals further details about AirTag's anti-stalking feature
@Happy_Noodle_Boy Thanks! But presumably the first scenario still applies so?
