  • Even with so many demonstrated use cases, Apple Vision Pro might not yet have a purpose

    torb9htorb9h
    All this talk about reality pro ‘not solving a problem’. The iPad wasn’t solving a problem, it was a big iPhone according to everyone and look at it’s success. I think what many people can’t get their heads around is Apple have entered a market which is still in its infancy and it has revolutionised to a degree but the tech just isn’t there yet to make it mainstream. I think it had to be released now to take a bet on AR going somewhere rather than waiting to see if it gets big and being too late to the game. It builds credibility for them in this field as they continue to refine it.

  • Apple Pencil 3 leak claims changeable magnetic tips are on the way

    Part of the convenience of the pencil is having one item that can serve as a number of inputs…brush, pencil, pen, watercolour. This feels like a step away from convenience and simplicty.

  • Apple's 'Crush' iPad Pro ad sparks intense backlash from creatives

    these people need to get a life. I don’t know how they have the energy to wake up and choose to be offended by something so trivial

  • Apple suffers fourth consecutive quarter of declining sales, beat Wall Street anyway

    torb9htorb9h
    Why are you bothered about the prices if you don’t like the services? If you don’t like them, don’t pay ir. Simple. Honestly the whining for absolutely no reason.

    Maybe people are getting pissed off with your prices eh? Your actions on the market then drive up the prices of other smartphone manufacturers cos then they get greedy too. I remember buying my first iPhone 3GS for £299 or £349 back in 2009 or so. Now the same equivalent for me in a Pro Max model is circa £1400. That’s greed too, not inflation. 

    Now you’ve also increased your  One subscription prices globally. Third time in 2-3 years too if you’re outside of the US.  TV is useless, you’ve to pay for most of the non  stuff.  Fitness+ bugs the life out of me cos they’re all on Prozac or something with those fake smiles. iCloud is rubbish compared to Googles offering but I need it. Not much use for Arcade either. 

    Start listening to what your audience wants and will endure instead of telling them what they want or you’ll end up like Nokia.

  • 'Overworked and unhappy' Apple Southampton store staff want to unionize

    Oh no. Not benefits.

    $4B is way too conservative. If the number of 200K units are ti be believed that’s close to a billion already after it’s just launched in one country

  • Apple Glasgow union reaches agreement with Apple for pay raises

    I would like to see AppleInsider read the contract and compare its benefits with the benefits Apple employees get when they aren't unionized. That would be interesting and relevant to Apple news followers.
    I would also be interested in knowing about the "arbitrary metrics."  I would interpret the more equitable pay model that ignores "arbitrary metrics" to mean that pay will be less or not based on performance and that would kind of screw over the best people in favor of the slackers.   To my mind, unionization makes the best sense in situations where individual contribution can't be measured as was often the case in the early industrial era.

    This Apple Store is a lovely building on what I think is Glasgow's nicest shopping street.  

    This unionization effort is very much in character for Glasgow.  When I was last there in July, there were posters everywhere promoting socialist revolution.  


    So those who do no work continue to scrape by and get the sam pay rise anyway.
