  • iPhone users try telling their bosses the alarm didn't go off

    I can’t confirm a cause or a solution, but this happened to me a couple of months ago. I’ve been using my iPhone for years and never had an issue until the day it just didn’t go off. Same repeating alarm that I use every day. I tested another alarm as I was driving to work and it didn’t go off either. It wasn’t just silent, it just didn’t go off at all.

    No problems since then though.

  • US watchdog wants Apple Pay regulated like a bank

    I trust Apple with my privacy far more than I trust anyone in our government. This is nothing more than an excuse to give them more access to our personal finances.

  • New 24-inch iMac adds M4 chip, nano-texture glass option


    I hate it when they do that. It's probably 10-20% faster, depending on single vs multi-core tasks. The NPU of-course will be much faster. 
    I actually love that they did this comparison. Obviously it can be a marketing tactic, but most people aren’t upgrading from M3 to M4. I’m upgrading from M1 to M4 Mini as soon as that’s announced, so M1 vs M4 is exactly what I want to know. My guess is that they expect a lot of upgrades like me this cycle.

  • Apple TV+ takes us back to Mars with 'For All Mankind'

    It took me a while to get around to watching season one, but once I did I realized this is possibly the best show on tv right now. Even my wife, who hates space and sci-fi, is hooked.

  • Apple's iPhone 17 Slim is a wrongheaded approach that ignores what people really want

    I feel like both the Slim and the Fold are niche gimmicks. Unless they’re actually the same phone so that when it’s folded it’s still the same thickness as a normal iPhone. That could be a good solution for fitting a large screen in your pocket. Otherwise I don’t see that either really gives any major benefit.

  • Comcast plans cheap Apple TV+, Netflix, Peacock bundle

    If it gets more people watching AppleTV+ that’s great because they have some great shows that no one watches. Apple is still in the bottom tier of services despite having some of the best content. I’ll never sign up for this because I’m already using Apple One.

  • Apple's AI head John Giannandrea isn't going anywhere, despite delays and stumbles

    I've always defended Siri and thought most of the negative comparisons to others like Alexa were unfounded, but in the last year Siri really has made major steps backwards. I understand that it's the result of a major shift in the underlying technology, but it really is frustrating to ask HomePod-Siri for much of anything right now. It's a very un-Apple-like experience, but what I care about is what happens next. Can they get Siri back on track and make it truly useful? I don't care about placing blame, I just want it to work. No-one should be fired unless they're just incompetent or unwilling to work as a team. If Giannandrea and Rockwell have different strengths, Apple should let them both play to those strengths to accomplish the goal. Mistakes don't have to be fatal as long as the right lessons are learned.
