Over the years, I've found IDC numbers and projections pretty suspect. Take the statement above "In Europe alone, the market slumped 4.9% in units to 195.2 million". There are about 690 million people in Europe, 440 of which are adults. IDC's num…

I think the article incorrectly characterizes Apple’s relationship to ARM: I don’t think Apple is reliant on ARM in any way at this point. They haven’t used ARM designed chips in a long time - I’m guessing by now only the instruction set is common.…

Does anyone know if you can trade in a watch for something other than another watch? My wife and I bought our S6s a few months ago and forgot to trade in our S4s and are looking to unload them.

I don't think Katy Huberty's logic is quite right here: she says that it makes sense for Apple to build a car because the *mobility* industry is a $10T dollars, so Apple only needs a 2% market share to have a business the size of iPhone. But Apple …

What was the memory utilization during this? I know nothing of ML, but I'd think reading/analyzing images is an inherently memory-intensive task. If so, not sure what comparing an 8gb M1 Mac with a 16gb Mac w. separate GPUs reveals.

Pretty lazy reporting - not only does this article not explain what is actually being taxed, but neither does the linked article form 2018. How is one to form an opinion on the fairness (the article mentions that the US thinks this tax unfairly tar…

The article waits until the second-to-last sentence to point out that the service is only being offered to customers *in some* regions of the US. Kinda annoying. That region is likely only northern states as StarLink has previously said so. I'm de…

The SIM-free version is still $30 more expensive :-(

Would have been nice to also see thicknesses and weight of the different model. I looked it up for the SE: it's 22g lighter than the 12 mini and the 12 mini is 0.2mm thinner. Man, on the one hand, I really want a more pocketable phone that can eas…

After 8 months of covid, I could care less about a slightly faster face-id. I sure hope Apple planned and integrated TouchID-on-power-button for the iPhone 12. They did so on the new iPad - and obviously its design was complete before covid too, s…

The frist series, "Long Way Round" was epic. Lots of 'adventure' (well, as much as you can have with a film crew and support vehicles, I suppose). Long Way Down was kinda ho-hum. I'm looking forward to seeing what this one brings.

The article's title is kind of dumb - if Apple's AR ambitions start with a VR headset, then it's not part of their AR ambitions, it's part of their VR ambitions! But, like others, I think Jean-Louis Gassee is way off base: Apple, via Tim Cook, has …

indiekiduk said: An ARM Mac released before the OS it runs is released? Sounds plausible Conversely, why would Apple release an OS if there's no hardware to run it on?

Oh, come on! You give reading a book as an example of why eye tracking would be useful in AR??? That's just about the dumbest application of AR there is - how is reading *augmenting* reality?

Vuzix, like Google Glass before it, is simply trying to do too much within the extremely limited confines of glasses - especially glasses people would be willing to wear on a daily basis and use for many hours. I've always thought AR glasses should…

Isn't this piece a bit of a no-op given that, as others have already pointed out, the US government has already stated that the ban is only for the US App Store?
