It is true - many new car buyers are turned off when Apple CarPlay or Android Auto is not offered. Apple has provided a way for content makers to get their content into a vehicle. The people at GM are looking to make money in two ways - subscription…

I’m one of those people that do. One of the reasons is that demo environments need to be portable or a dev needs to spin up a local environment to test an application. In larger corporations, they don’t want you to attach those to a hypervisor becau…

When the EU first started talking about this, USB-C wasn’t even around. So without an end date or a built-in process to revise the standard, it will stifle innovation. As the previous poster noted with the Mercedes question - gov’t imposed standards…

I doubt the Ending Platform Monopolies Act will survive Constitutional judicial review if it ever became law. We have already seen the Courts push back on narrowly defining a particular product a monopoly in of itself without reference to the market…

There was a rumor a while back that Apple may bring back MagSafe, HDMI and SD card slot to their pro laptops. I do hope that is the case because that would eliminate the need for the majority of dongles and probably save a few flying saucer Macs fro…

Most apps that have in-app purchases have free initial downloads. That means that Apple would get zero revenue for hosting the app, promotion services and paying vendors for bandwidth and delivery mechanisms around the world. How is that even fair…

I get the developer who feels that there isn’t value in porting existing games to Apple Silicon - especially if the sales numbers don’t justify it. That has happened with virtually every major technology deprecation - Flash, Silverlight, ActiveX, et…

A GPU in the 13” MBP would bring a lot of compromises including size and weight. Absolute power is only one part of the equation for a Pro notebook. Apple is also thinking of thermal management. In a Pro machine, you want it to run as quietly as pos…

I’m glad they are finally testing this. I’ve been waiting for this feature for months. I still wish they would increase the functionality of the apps. Sometimes I switch to the web based apps to do certain jobs that the installed apps cannot, such a…

I picked up on that too - are they comparing Apple's units sold with Hauwei's units shipped? I don't if this is the case but too often in the past I've seen manufacturers stuff the channels with inventory but it looks good for their numbers. Apple …

I wrote about this a few months back http://www.cocoaelephant.com/blog/?p=929 on my blog. I liked some of these ideas. My weather idea was to overlay a precipitation map over Apple Maps so you can make real time travel decisions (like peeling off fo…

I doubt the veracity of this article. Apple has staked out the high quality sound end of the market with Siri functionality. Creating a smaller version would require a very different strategy and approach. Amazon sells cheap Echos because they want …

I think Apple is doing just fine. Their stock value is at record levels and they are selling products by the boatload. A lot of their time is currently spent with vertical integration which increases the value of a particular platform, whether it be…

Rather than try to politicize this, we should look at this soberly. Companies don't make snap decisions to lay off a bunch of people since that tends to look bad in the press and most of them are not heartless, evil capitalists. AT&T just announ…
