  • How to use iPad as a Mac replacement and why you'd want to

    Funny to read all the comments of users that sum up facts why the iPad cannot work for them, just a proof of the statement made 🤷‍♂️
    I do everything on my iPad Pro, now the M4 one. Mail/Calendar/Keynotes (also making them)/Notes/Webex/Teams/Excel/Expense App/Slack/ slew of internal web based Apps … + a slew of other apps for media consumption, my car app … So easy, every time I use a mac it feels cluttered / limited … I use my iPad with Magic Pro keyboard and external screen when at the office or at home (for work)

  • Qualcomm CEO downplays importance of Apple relationship after C1 modem

    Well I have an iPhone 16 Pro and a 16e,  my colleague as well, to ran tests on general connectivity, so no speed comparison but cellular call capabilities and internet connection stability availability … well the 16e beats the Qualcomm chip in every test. Next we will check speed but that is not so important as both are plenty fast when you have a connection. (16e trumps internet connectivity because the QC modem is very finicky about signal quality)
    As reference we drove a stretch of 200km’s and the 16e never drops a call and when there is bad signal and distorted voice, the 16e recovers without any issue, while the QC drops or never recovers and you need to initiate a new call … 
    And we did not cover battery drain, the 16e shines in that department as well … what else can I say … QC will loose a lot of business, fortunately they can extort some more money via patents … even if they are FRAND, they do not seem to care about that.

  • BBC cries foul over Apple Intelligence headline notification summarizations

    Or maybe it took a high-profile company like Apple for people to realize that AI isn't exactly what they imagined it to be.
    I’ve experienced this with all kinds of AI models, even the big ones running in the cloud—you can never fully trust them.
    However, when it comes to tasks like proofreading and improving the tone of my writing, Apple Intelligence works like a charm. Perhaps that's what most people truly need and use.

    Apple’s paper demonstrated that AI shows no signs of reasoning capabilities. To me, it’s just a massive database where SQL has been replaced with natural language.

  • New report contradicts Tim Cook's remarks about iPhone panic buying

    If there is any panic buying going on, it will be this quarter. Nobody panicked in Q1. There was a lot of talk, but nobody was panic buying …
    April 3 was when the panic mode started. All of a sudden, Reddit was full of “Should I buy now before the hike?” So let’s see if Q2, Apple’s Q3 as their fiscal starts in October, is higher than usual.

  • BMW confirms it will not support CarPlay Ultra

    I was ready to upgrade from my iX to the new iX3 when announced … glad they took away that option, will upgrade to a Porsche when they launch their first car supporting it. Life can be simple ;-p
