They sound worried. While not ideal for the security/privacy aspects, it does mean it's one less reason for people to choose Android over iOS.

1000 songs in the palm of... wait.... in the ring on your finger. Introducing the Ringer.... wait... the iPhone rings, too. Oh boy, this is getting confusing.

"Is the platform secure?" Ummmm.... that's a loaded question. Any platform is always going to be under attack, thereby requiring ongoing efforts to keep it secure. A better question is: "What has Apple done, and continues to do, to keep the platf…

Travel involves vibrations. Car, bus, plane... they all vibrate. I bet you the plushy exterior is specifically designed to absorb those vibrations so that the precision engineering of the Vision Pro is not affected.

1000 native apps less than 2 weeks after a platform is released to the public. I call that a win.

Apple priced this cable at $300? Really? $300?

I miss the old days of the simplicity of iTunes. You knew exactly where you were, what you were looking at, and what you were buying. Navigating the TV app these days requires a college degree. I can't image how non-savvy folks manage it. The numb…

For those that aren't aware, machine learning — a subset of artificial intelligence — goes back to the 1950's. It's not this magical new technology invented in the past few years. It's just that now with Generative AI models, we're starting to see a…

App signatures. Regardless of where an app came from, if it doesn't have an approved signature certificate from Apple, it won't run. I'm good with that.

Launch day sold out. $270 million dollars later. I'd hardly call that floundering.

(there's a link problem in the article.. the entire text is a link) Looks like a good Sci-Fi-Thriller mix. Too bad that there are payment disputes happening, and Apple gets the blame in the public image.
