I think it's a great ad, since it beautifully expressed the message... the thin and light iPad encompasses all of those items. Shouldn't we be appreciative that Apple is moving us away from a super wasteful world? Now imagine if there were people …

AppleInsider should be embarrassed about giving this article the title that they did. Nowhere in the article does it support the notion of "stealing" if the signed contract says that Apple at least co-owns the tech. That means a firm can invest i…

The days of Google having a stranglehold on accurate web searches are numbered.

miiwtwo said: HAHAHA, AVP fail When the Vision platform is a rounding success, will you admit that you were wrong? Genuine question. Apple knows that the Vision project is going to take time to mature. It's foolish to think they'd have…

I'm still waiting for Apple to resurrect Xgrid. Imagine a "Mac Stack".... need to upgrade your computer? Don't replace it.. just add another block to the Stack. More RAM, more storage space, one computer".

Too early to make any judgement calls, but the thought of Google being "baked into" my Mac gives me the heebie jeebies!

Makes sense since text is already being extracted from images displayed on-screen.

I doubt that WWDC24 will dominate its focus on an "AI App Store". Sure, I can see how that ties into a developer conference, and I can see how a separate storefront would break up operations, to appear "less big" to the forces that be, but let's se…

gwmac said: I'm confused why anyone would need any specialized AI apps. What I mean is by that is currently ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude are the dominant players. All 3 offer free or paid premium versions. There are tons of specialized paid ap…

I have no qualms with the way that this feature works. Seems to be anonymous and private, but using anonymized "crowd-sourced" data to help you use the app. But at least there should be a prompt when the app is first opened to alert the user to thi…

@AppleInsider It's absolutely critical to get facts straight when offering up an analysis. We await the DoJ suit against the carriers for allowing SMS to persist. SMS is _not_ going away with RCS. SMS is not the problem with low-quality…
