  • Epic Games CEO slams Apple 'government spyware'

    M68000M68000
    Why are people so up in arms about this?  If you have nothing to hide why are you fighting Apple’s attempt to make the world safer from criminals and sick people?   This “ceo” made the amazingly stupid comment about “presumption of guilt”?   Well,  at least in the United States a person is innocent until proven guilty.   

    I’m frankly amazed by the feedback in this forum in the last few days,  people who trust and love Apple and now don’t want to help Apple try to make the world safer.  

    If you work for any large company I hope you know that any email, chat messages and files on company computers can be looked at and scanned by security and network admins.

    if you want total privacy,  get rid of cloud storage and maybe go back to using a typewriter LOL

    Apple does not want their products used for crime and is making an attempt to do something about it - what is so hard to understand?

  • Netflix CEO says Apple Vision Pro market is too insignificant to bother with

    Is Netflix still a thing?
    They have about 260 million subscribers, by far the top streaming service in subscriber count. So yeah,  they are still a thing.

  • Apple's Touch ID is probably never coming back to iPhone

    M68000M68000
    Why not have both Face ID and Touch ID?   Android is able to have under screen fingerprint sensor on their phones,  a shame we (Apple users) don’t have it.

  • Apple Vision Pro won't be an iPad-level business for quite a while

    Give it Two seasons.  With proper advertising and product placement which I'm sure they have it locked down. - Every headset sold will be four iPads in terms of coin - it will replace the iPad just like the iPhone replaced the iPod.  The wealthy will be buying this like a pint head passing the bat to his pint head friends.  Look how dumb people look with sunglasses - Aesthetics won't play a feature in this game when the kids are in the backseat with a 4k three-D TV or Adults sitting in a park.  The possibilities are endless...
    Disagree,  people don’t look dumb wearing sunglasses, they protect the eyes.  For whatever reason you seem really optimistic about this new device.  Forget about price for a moment and ask yourself - how many people will want to wear a computer on their face?  I have to think the number will be low.  I don’t share your optimism and doubt the ipad will be replaced by it. 

    Actually, it could be said that wearing a computer on the face may look dumb,  it could even make people  look anti social.

  • What to expect in iOS 18: AI, new look, redesigned stock apps, and more

    M68000M68000
    Apple,  please turn off ability to change wallpaper from lock screen by touch and hold on the lock screen.   This “feature” is so incredibly annoying.  I have found my wallpaper changed many times or find my phone waiting for me to select the new wallpaper, which i did not intend to do.  Absolutely one of the worst things with ios at the moment.

  • Echoes of launches past: Tim Cook likens Apple Vision Pro to iPhone launch

    M68000M68000
    That is a nicely crafted memo by Tim Cook.  Thinking back to the 1980’s I remember seeing the original Mac in somebody’s house.  They were using it for a document and it had the 9 inch black and white screen CRT screen, it’s all they had in those days.  I knew then how cool it would be to have one.    Then,  onward to 2007 and the iphone launches.  It looked miles ahead of the Blackberry stuff which I almost bought.  Again,  I knew right away I wanted to try iphone and was able to get the original.    

    Now,  the vision pro device is here.  I can respect the effort and tech that went into this, but at the same time have no interest in having one.   It just does not appeal to me.

  • Microsoft blames European Commission for global CrowdStrike catastrophe

    This seems to be totally a QA testing issue.  Was any testing done?

    We had mood rings back in the 1970’s or 1980’s

  • Meta cancels its headset rival to Apple Vision Pro

    No need to follow after something that isn’t quite working in the market. 

    The killer app for headsets is entertainment - gaming and media. 

    In that sense, meta even has the better product. 

    Apple has the far superior hardware, software, and ecosystem. 

    But all the hardware and OS polish in the world isn’t going to save a product that the market has rejected time and again - save for a niche subset of gamers. 

    The quest is lighter, doesn’t require a tethered battery, and plays decent games. 

    While there are some compelling engineering/medical use cases, it’s not a mass market thing. 

    Most people just don’t want to be encumbered by a device for their daily needs. 

    When it’s indoor/outdoor sunglasses, that may possibly change. 

    But headsets just suck. 

    One of the best decisions Meta ever made is saying “no” to this. Kinda like Apple used to do.  
    Or... Meta realized they can't just slap together something in 6 months to compete with something that has almost 10 years of development behind it. The  only thing holding back the Vision Pro from becoming a blockbuster success is its price. When that comes down everybody will want one. Remember, the iPod was based on only one kind of media. When people start seeing their friends with one and they have a chance to try it out for themselves, Apple Vision For-The-Rest-of-Us will be huge.
    No,  it goes beyond price.  One of the other questions is who wants to wear a helmet computer and appear anti social while doing it?  This form factor does not impress me for general purpose use.  If we’re talking about training simulator stuff,  that could be different. Further, forgetting about price, is so called spatial computing really better than regular computing?  If it is,  how about some proof? There does not seem to be much mainstream talk about it.

  • iPhone 16e review roundup: an okay, if compromised, device without a market

    M68000M68000
    This phone has a market,  big companies that provide phones for employees.  While more expensive than the SE was,  it still is cheapest option for new device.  They will choose this or android.
