Reddit's largest Apple community will stay dark, as CEO promises to ride out shutdowns
radarthekat said:Did I miss an announcement? Has Elon taken over Reddit? LolIt's not the elongated muskrat himself, but it's rat-like behavior.Reddit is trying to go public. They want to maximize the appearance of revenue to get a high IPO price, so they're trying to charge unworkable amounts for 3rd party apps that don't actually make any money and can't possibly afford to pay.Big groups going dark will help prevent that from working like they want it to, the stock will be worthless. And because of Reddit's bad behavior, that's actually what we all want to happen. -

Get ready to pay more for the iPhone 15 Pro Max than ever before
Headline should read "Apple Planning On Price Gouging Even More".iPhones are too expensive. They always have been, $500 was too much for the original iPhone, and it's more than a new phone should cost today. Even used prices are ridiculous now.And I really wish Apple didn't tie price to screen size like they do. There are plenty of idiots people who would happily pay big bucks for a small screen with all the fancy features, and sane people who just want a big screen and have no need for more than a rudimentary camera and don't want Face ID or the stupid notch that comes with it. -

iPhone 15 Pro review three months later: Worth every penny
It's a whole lot of new "meh".The only big new thing that's really great about the 15 is the switch to USB C. I wouldn't even consider the "pro" model, the 15+ (in black, because the other colors suck) would be the only one I'd even bother looking at. I do not need fancy cameras in my phone, the camera in the 5 was good enough for everything I need, and it doesn't have a stupid camera bulge, give me that in a large screen phone please.And add an easily swappable battery and headphone jack. I'm fine if it's a few ounces heavier, I won't even notice. -
Apple wants to add a flashlight to future Apple Watches
Xed said:This is simply a small flashlight that attaches to your Apple Watch. I'm wondering what about this is unique enough to be patented. These have been around for many years for a variety of products, albeit larger than is shown in the patent.

US Apple Watch sales and import ban: What you need to know
rob53 said:"It was also reasoned by Masimo that the U.S. public would not be affected by an Apple Watch import ban as the sensor isn't "essential to the public health or welfare." This was due to Apple's warnings in fine print that the measurements from the sensor "should not be relied upon for medical purposes," Masimo declared." If the Apple sensor isn't of any medical value then why is Masimo suing Apple? Is Apple's implementation inferior to Masimo's? Is Apple's implementation even similar to Masimo's? Who actually owns the original pulse oximetry patents? Is Masimo violating someone else's patents?Pulse oximetry was invented in 1974, the patents are long expired.The Masimo patents should never have been issued. I'm not a fan of Apple bullying smaller companies, but this one is bullshit on Masimo's part. -
