That's interesting - stereoscopic is a distinctly different approach then what Apple uses where they capture depth of field. Stereoscopic would still work for a 3D effect, but you couldn't as easily change your point of view or have other things i…

Ahhh... I see the large display folks co-opted the term. Well, most of those large displays use an LED technology with pixels that are a millimeter wide. This is not the technology aimed at small displays.
-
Yes, but the large displays you're talking about are LEDs but not micro-LEDs. Micro LEDs have sizes measured in microns. This is Apple - there's no way they'd do it without "Retina resolution".

Well, I'd say Disney Plus is the main competitor to Netflix, and Apple embraced Disney Plus and made it the premier video streaming app on VP. That wouldn't make Netflix feel warm and fuzzy. Honestly, the browser version of Netflix is great - the …

Given that it's nothing but a paid permission slip, not transferred value, I'd like to just put out there that I'd be OK if Apple gave me 30 cents per iPhone.

Yes -and just as Fujitsu designed the SVE SIMD extensions for ARM, it was Apple that created the 64-bit ARM ISA (v8+), totally redesigning it in the process, as they were the first company on Earth to require 64-bit ARM CPUs. We used to joke about …

thrang said: I kind of don't get it. Apple is not being strong-armed. If they prefer to take the 20bn to simply default to Google search (while allowing the user to easily change it), rather than spend capital to build their own from scratch,…

godofbiscuitssf said: Apple is also part of the RISC V consortium. As soon as Apple announced Macs as having “Apple Silicon” and not “ARM-based CPUs” I knew it’d be a possibility that they’d always remain open to other ISAs. If RISC V contin…

The biggest apparent technical issue seems to be the failure of the quad-die Apple Silicon chip. Perhaps they could make up for this with a dual socket system? In principle, GPU support is a driver issue, not a HW issue. It'd also be great if the…

Can you tell me which app you were using for sleep tracking? It's the one feature that's kept me from upgrading to an Apple Watch, because i never found any Apps that could break out sleep into the 4 categories. Thanks so much for this article - i…

Guys, no one is implying Apple will make a physical car. It's like AppleTV - initially, everyone hoped for an amazing Apple TV that was transparent and thin. But it ended up just being a little box you hook up to a normal TV. There's no reason to…

Intel is partly fabless. Their high end chips are fabricated at TSMC, and their lower end chips are fabbed using their classic technology. Intel's hope was that by 2025 to be able to make their own chips again. We'll see how that timeline plays o…

I wish people would design an official magnetic "pass through" system so that you could stack multiple MagSafe devices - it's such a pain to have to keep ripping them off the back and swapping them, e.g. removing a magnetic pop-socket stand to add a…

Apple made almost $90 billion last quarter alone!

FWIW, I found the best performance using Azul's Java 17 ARM64 JDK with ManyMC. It's truly amazing - peak is about 100x faster in everything - imagine selecting a Minecraft world and being able to start playing in less than 4 seconds! . Minecraft an…

Your mileage obviously may vary. I have a 16" Macbook Pro with the 10 CPUs and 32 GPU cores. Running straight x86 Java Minecraft through Rosetta is honestly barely playable - sometimes you can get 20 fps, but you get frequent slowdowns. It's a lo…
