Except Apple does not sell their products for you to buy them every year. I believe Apple stated that they design because every year *someone* will want to upgrade, not *everyone.* So slow adoption is baked in to Apple’s sales assumptions. and the l…

Again, Apple is not selling AI as a product, and folks have got to just stop with this. Apple Intelligence is not Apple-branded ChatGPT. Apple Intelligence is low level (I think that’s the term) functionality that is being deployed across devices (o…

I am skeptical. Apple Intelligence is not a product, and everyone gets that wrong. Apple Intelligence is functionality that is intended to enhance and improve the various platforms Apple has (macOS, iOS, iPadOS, etc). How do you monetize that withou…

I’ve dabbled in third party solutions, and tend to give up using them. Some of them got my money, and I have no regrets. Grammarly - I found this intrusive, plus I was not going to pay a subscription. 1Password - I was NOT a fan of moving to a sub…

If this is true, it means that Apple reads their feedback. The reason this isn’s a “Sherlock” of Fantastical is because the reminders are in-line, which is a huge distinction for some. While Fantastical does keep reminders paced with your day, for …

The role of government and business has always been a delicate dance. Sometimes it is needed: Microsoft having 95%+ of both domestic and global operating system installs and forcing PC users to default to Internet Explorer needed government interven…

This is patently absurd. Basically the CEO of Beeper openly admitted he wants to steal the iMessage app. Nothing stops anyone from using WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, Facebook Messenger, etc. iPhone users can use any of these apps without issues. If …

Several stray comments. 1. I absolutely do not understand using corporate resources to do either personal stuff or stuff that maybe your company would frown at. In all the decades I have been in a corporate environment, I have always kept my perso…

With Reddit killing Apollo, I’m done with Reddit. I’m actually in the process of setting up on Beehaw, which is part of the Lemmy fediverse. So far, the vibe is good, but as Mastodon with Twitter, it’s caught in a catch 22 of being better with more …

Ahrendts is trying to spin this. I have a number of friends in retail, and the complaints about check-out, and GB are pretty accurate. She just surrounded herself with "yes men" and now can't handle that she didn't actually pay any attention to the …

I am fairly critical of the eHeart Study. They classified me as having COPD because I used to have chronic bronchitis, which was brought on by a dust allergen (the bronchitis immediately cleared up when I took an antihistamine. Pretty sure COPD doe…

The Apple Watch was never intended to be an electronic offering. Apple absolutely put Rolex, et. al. in their sights when they released the Apple Watch - not Fitbit or Pebble. So any agency trying to measure the Apple Watch as an electronic is goi…
