Undercharged: iPhone 14 owners complain about lower battery endurance
Mike Wuerthele said:kdogg said:Mine says it's at 93% capacity, and I acquired my iPhone 14 Pro in September 2022. So it's less than 1 year old. I have noticed that at the end of the day I have to charge it where it used to make it through the day without a second thought. I'm not sure what changed, but something is really dragging on the battery, so if a bunch of other people are experiencing the same thing then yeah, sounds like there's a problem.There are loads of variables as it pertains to battery charging and life, and most of them are outside of the user's control. Some of them are even outside of Apple's control. -

Apple Music execs reveal months of work behind releasing Taylor Swift's new album
neoncat said:And therein lies the core problem with Apple Music: It is to streaming services what Top 40 was to radio in the 80s. Apple is far more concerned with whether Apple Music appears to be aligned with what is "now" than building a vital and comprehensive music service, much less fixing the oft-documented problems with the garbage that is Music.app. The end result is not something that comes across as cool and essential, but rather a bunch of boomers wearing tight-fitting jeans and inviting themselves to industry parties.
Before the Swifties descend upon me like a ton of bricks: Tay-Tay is not, er, my cup of tea, but she's an amazing business person and I don't find her music actively terrible, or anything. It's the form of Apple's myopic partnerships, not the individual artists.
Another example would be the weird amount of attention they kept giving Billie Eilish, who admitted in a couple interviews she found it all "very strange," and that it was entirely a construct between Apple and her record company. She had nothing to do with it, despite Apple continually selling it as a partnership between her, individually, and Apple. Again—boomers in jeans making sure to be seen rather than thinking about: Is this what my users actually want? -

PETA names Apple as the 2023 Company of the Year

Apple VR could offer Memoji FaceTime, SharePlay experiences
Yup, a lot of apple's features and technologies in the past couple of years are all groundwrok for apple's massive AR (and maybe VR) plans.these include: ARkit, realitykit, reality composer, motion capture, lidar, the truedepth system, shareplay, animoji and memoji, universal control, spatial audio, live text and translate, object and image recognition, AR maps etc etc etcI love the way apple lays the groundwork for a big disruption, the number of features related to spatial computing that apple has put out is only a fraction of what's to comeI'm very excited.
