  • Compared: M2 iPad Pro vs M1 iPad Pro

    I have never been an "if only Steve were still here" guy. UNTIL NOW. From the new iPad updates (with iPad Pro still having camera in wrong place) to this stupid dongle to keep the Pencil 1.0 in play, ...oh my gosh; how awful. I mean, ...would Steve Jobs have overseen such things? Wow: BAD

  • iPhone 16 has a new Camera Control button -- Here's everything it can do

    Using that new touch-sensitive button as a moving dial surface is novel, and might be great.

    However, using the force-touch button to take a picture can cause your phone to MOVE as you shoot it.

    Back in the day, when I first got an iPhone (5S) and started using its camera, I first use the option of the physical button on the side to activate the image-capture; as one would do with a full stand-alone camera.
    But I found that some shots had a slight motion, as the force to press the button moved the phone a bit. So, I gravitated toward the on-screen button.

    Buttons on a real stand-alone cameras must be calibrated so perfectly to prevent such movement.
    Maybe Apple figured a calibration for this new button that will just as nice.

  • Apple Fitness+ review: A physical & mental health godsend during the pandemic winter

    Similar to the author, I was desperate for something in the dead of winter and tried three different routines one day. I have not stopped since then. Four times a week. 20 min of this, 10 min of that, sometimes a 30 min spin bike (at school where I work), sometimes some HIIT or Cardio before my 3-mile jog when weather permits. Yeah, the sweet spot of needed activity and motivation. I like that I can choose so many different things and even then choose my own cool down.

  • M3 MacBook Air & MacBook Pro may not debut until October

    Is this article suggesting Apple would release a 13” M3 MacBook Air, but leave the 15” MacBook Air at M2?
    If so, I don’t get why Apple would do that.
    They’re the same computer, just a bigger screen in one of ‘em.
    And, most people ready to purchase the 15” Air would wait if they saw the M3 was in the 13”; they’d know the M3 is just around the corner for the 15”.

    Silly.

  • Apple TV+ has 'no excuse' for lagging growth, says Netflix co-founder

    At $5 a month, it is a good value. For $5, I feel like there is one new quality show (or season of a show) every month, all original content, an occasional movie or two of very high quality (Tom Hanks and such), and a documentary series. For $5 a month, and the quality, it is worth it to me. I spend more than that on one book.

  • Big screen battle -- iPhone 16 Pro Max vs iPhone 15 Pro Max features compared

    Using a button to take a picture can cause your phone to MOVE as you shoot it. --You finger, pushing the button, very slightly moving the phone downward as the capture is happening.

    Back with my first iPhone (5S), I used one of the physical buttons on the side to activate the image-capture; as one would do with a full stand-alone camera.
    Both me and my family found the some shots had a slight motion, as the force to press the button moved the phone a bit.
    The shutter button on any stand-alone camera is very loose and perfectly sensitive so that device-movement when held in your hands is not a factor.

    Due to the phone moving slightly when I used the side button on an iPhone (as that button on the 5S required some force), I switched to the on-screen red button.

    So, I wonder how this new face-touch button will play out.
    Might be just fine.
    The original iteration of this idea didn't work out for some of us.
