  • Apple sued for not paying New York Apple Store staff weekly

    TeeJoroniTeeJoroni
    Apple retail stores have been open for over twenty years. This person worked for 8 years and didn’t quit or file a suit while working? For 8 years the biweekly pay schedule worked somehow? There are 11 Apple stores in NYC alone operating for over 15 years, has the state not noticed what frequency Apple pays thousands of employees? I get the idea that someone wants their earnings as soon as possible, but the money is the same amount it would be either way, it’s how it’s managed between pay checks. Not sure of the merit of this case.

  • Apple TV with A12X ready to go at any time, claims leaker

    TeeJoroniTeeJoroni
    I have a Synology DS218 I have some Home movies and rips on the drive and I am able to stream them directly to Apple TV HD/4K via the Synology app that goes directly on Apple TV. 

    iTunes movies are downloaded on iOS and Through iTunes or TV app on Mac. I wonder if you can store those “forever”. 

    Going to test it now...(not the forever part.. that will take a while)

    It's pity they're not putting storage capacities in the terabytes on these things to allow you to download all your iTunes movie purchases - because if you don't download them, and the content provider pulls it from the iTunes store - you're screwed.  Just had a title removed from my library that I bought in 2015 for this reason.  As I have 1.75Tb worth of movies and that Apple storage is incredibly expensive, keeping them in the "cloud" seems the only reasonable way of doing it.  But no. 
    Buy an NAS RAID and plug it into your home network. 

    I have a Synology DiskStation DS218+ with 2 workstation class Seagate 8TB drives for about $800 total.

    It was a little tricky to setup, but now all my media files are stored on it and use it for wireless Time Machine backups for my wife’s and my MacBook Pros. 

    PLUS, all my stuff is safe at home, not floating around somewhere to disappear if somehow the wires get cut.

  • Tim Cook's tweet hints at new name for iPhone SE 4

    TeeJoroniTeeJoroni
    Here’s my idea:

    new iPhone (just called iPhone) $499
    new iPad (still just called iPad) $399 (again)

    both lower end chips. less sophisticated/costly internals. 
    Support Apple Intelligence via WiFi/cellular only via Private cloud compute. If one wants ChatGPT that’s included on higher tiered iPhone 15 Pro, 16, 16 Pro etc. otherwise get the app yourself and pay etc.  


    cellular iPad ties well with carrier connectivity/plans. Win/win. 

    Path to 16 upgrade or low cost option for those that can “live” without Apple Intelligence on device.

  • MacBook with A18 Pro first appeared in macOS 15 code

    TeeJoroniTeeJoroni
    Bringing back the 12” MacBook? Sub 2lb ultra portable
    Mac. 

    Would be cool to have like a PowerBook Duo type setup. 
    Studio display at $999 (down from $1299). 
    12.2” Macbook with A18 w 20 hour battery life $999. One thunderbolt one MagSafe and skip the 3.5 port. Pairing with monitor will allow better audio out or Beats/Airpods combo. 

    Basically the basic MacBook A18 like the iPad A16. 
    we have Mac Mini Mac Studio and Mac Pro (needs update power wise) for tiers. 

    While all this sounds cool it again feels niche. So we’ll see.
