  • Apple Watch Series 10 to be thinner and have larger screen size

    laytechlaytech
    Don’t go thinner, go thicker and get longer battery life. If they go thinner and brag about same day battery life that is just pants. Longer battery. My ultra is now down to 1.5 days and it’s a pain. Come Apple, we need 5 day battery. Bigger watch longer battery please.

  • EU tells Apple to open everything up to its rivals

    laytechlaytech
    Surely the consumer should be allowed to decide not the EU. I don't want this opened up to anyone. I am happy locked behind Apple's gates. Shine on. EU Policing. Someone is doing deals in the backrooms to make this sort of rubbish a policy.

  • 'Scary Fast' iMac with M3 is here with few external changes

    laytechlaytech
    Pretty boring with the same form factor and ugly chin. I was hoping for something gorgeous looking that made me want to go out and buy one. Something that looks sleek, modern and progressive in my home office. Oh well, looks like my 2014 iMac will have to continue to collect dust.

  • Our favorite features so far in iOS 18 from Control Center to Genmoji

    Apple Photos

    I am dreading the new apple photo app changes. It just looks terrible, cluttered and confusing. Furthermore, half my thumbnails will not be visible on the whole screen. There will be swiping left, up and down and then some things will be auto hidden, to be honest, it looks a mess. Yet it's geared as a major overhaul. These things are not necessarily good but if Apple stuffs the photo app, it could break me from continuing to be an apple fan boy.

  • Latest chapter of $2 billion Apple Watch patent battle ends in mistrial

    laytechlaytech
    I'm tired of patent trolls. Some are funded by investment companies, hoping to make a quick buck. Ultimately, it's the lawyers that win at the end of the day, and everyone else suffers because of it. We are losing our way.

  • Maryland Apple Store staff file for union election

    Good luck to those that sign up with a union. Short term gain for long term pain.

  • Revamped Photos app in iOS 18 makes searching better, but hides a key sharing control

    laytechlaytech
    The new photos app looks terrible, confusing and messy. I am dreading the upgrade. Swipe left, swipe up and then some photos auto hidden (e.g. screenshots) from some views. 

    It's geared as a major overhaul and there are no doubt some welcome changes but when this was demonstrated on the keynote, my heart sank with dread. I just thought, oh my god, I am going to get lost in that thing. Major over hauls are deemed exciting but sometimes they can be a disaster. 

    I have never had such apprehension in an app update as I have with this photos app. I hope I am proved wrong when it's released. 

    Quote from AppleInider "Most of those (images) are now much more visual, and it takes quite some scrolling to get to the old plain text list showing Hidden, Recently Deleted, and so on.

    Case in point, this doesn't sound great. Lets hope by the time the full release is issued that this is a lot better thought out.
