Just purchased a 2018 Honda Fit Sport. The Sport model (new for 2018 in US market) has CarPlay as standard! This car really stands out in this regard as an affordable small car with CarPlay. The Toyota Yaris doesn’t offer CarPlay and CarPlay on th…

This shows there is still huge potential in the market for Apple to sell more product.

They make it sound like Apple just need to flip a switch. Not that simple. Apple could do it if there is not some kind of hardware problem such as fm radio interfering with other radios/sensors. But it’s more than flicking switch would require OS s…

Back in March 2015 Tim Cook visited the Palo Alto Apple Store and was wearing an Apple Watch with the red dot. There was a very positive reaction to this unique look. Lots of people wanted the red dot. So much so that a company even started selling …

You write: There is no dedicated function area —Kuo was flat-out wrong. No. Kuo got some sizes wrong but he was perfectly accurate about the "function area". It is the media who interpreted his words as a software feature - you were wrong! The "f…

It always sucks for T-Mobile customers. Apple always seems to sell out of those handsets first.

The first version of this article applied Gruber's comments about the theater structure to the main building. I kindly left a comment saying that I the way I read it Gruber was referring to the theater. Now the article is re-written and my comment …

A software "patch"?

"Fend for themselves" Not sure about your tone in the opening sentence. Wireless charging is being built into cars and furniture and that's the way it should be - built in and invisible. However, the "iPhone X" device tree does reference a "dock,…

Wow, they think they own everyone else's technology - they are delusional.

I'm glad to see you put "gold master" in quote marks. This is NOT the final finished software. It is NOT "the" GM but something close to it. Rambo's theory is that it is a version that was shared with carriers. If so, the leak may not have come fro…

There is a possibility (all be it a slim one) that they are using a new material and new process. It could be a bulk metallic glass alloy (aka LiquidMetal) and an injection molding process. This would be technically challenging and would impose seve…

I checked my info and got a notice saying they did not believe my data was compromised and an optional button to register for protection, I was given a 9/14 registration date for the protection service. 5 mins later, we checked my wife's details, s…

You write: A report from Bloomberg earlier this week claims each seat cost some $14,000 Not exactly, that figure is calculated by dividing the total estimated cost of the entire theater by the number of seats.

This appears to be based on 'Foxconn' screenshots published on Twitter by Geskin that appeared to refer to features by code names . Toughton-Smith immediately dismissed them, Geskin seemed unsure of the authenticity of the images he posted. I can't…

You write: Subscribers must have a One plan with at least two paid voice lines, which costs $120 per month Keep in mind the Kick Back, which saves you $10 per line that uses less than 5 Gigs data. It ends up costing me $110 because my wife has low …

Apple have not "changed the name". The Media invented the "iPhone 7s" and "iPhone 8" names. Apple were never going to release a '7s' and an '8' at the same time! "iPhone Pro" was a far better guess than "iPhone 8" for the higher tier phone. The s…

"Gestures are shortcuts for pro users" No. They are essential for anyone to navigate iOS. The home button is gone! I can't think of a accessibility case but there might be one - in which case a virtual button might stick around as an accessibility…

This is where Apple has the advantage - controlling hardware and software. Google can't just bake AR support into the OS - the technology needs to work with specific camera/sensor hardware. So Google and phone manufacturers need to work together t…

Cool! One of my initial thoughts when learning about ARKit was "one day there are going to be location and situation based AR experiences to discover all over Disneyland, these could also be personalized" - the possibilities are endless.
