  • Apple testing App Store feature that automatically opts users in to price hikes

    This just sounds like a way for Apple to make more money while increasing uncertainty for their customers. I don’t want to nag about this, but I cannot find anything positive about it.

  • Apple blames business rivals for India App Store antitrust filing

    100 percent on Apple’s side here. This complaint is laughable, except it’s not because it seriously need to be pulled as soon as possible. Where is the antitrust against OnePlus/Oppo and Poco in India, then?

  • Trademark for 'realityOS' points to VR, AR at WWDC

    Reading other articles on the topic of this headset, it seems like the first hardware launch is going to be quickly obsoleted by a much better second or third generation. I get a feeling this device release timeline will be very similar to the Apple Watch: it’s going to look kind of good when they reach their 4th iteration, and by the time we see number 6, it easily wipes out the competitors.

  • Apple had a M1 Mac Pro, but decided to wait for M2 Extreme

    Can’t be any happier about my M1 Mac Mini 16 GB 1 TB storage online BTO purchase, only days after the announcement. Kind of early on, rumors of a redesign popped up and people held off buying. But … it’s now > 18 months later and still it’s the most recent Mac Mini model on the market. I rushed my order because I was worried that amazing reviews of the M1 SoC would boost sales to the moon. 

    It kind of did, and thus a combo of short supply, factory lockdowns and high demand for M1 products made it tedious to order M1 Macs. And yes, it’s a great machine. Running it without issues so far on Ventura public beta 2. It only had major issues in Big Sur with Bluetooth.

  • 'Unleashed' was likely Apple's last major event of 2021

    I don’t think they need to release more products right now, either. If you release everything at once, less people will buy, because priorities come into play. Like, an iPhone, iMac, iPad Pro and Airpods plus two Homepod Mini, and the rumored new Apple display. Yeah .. maybe not at once, unless you’re rich or willing to spend it on monthly credit card payments.

    EDIT: also .. chip shortage.
