Also contrarian viewpoint - AI on phones may just not be that important. What do we do on our phones every day? - Chat with friends - primary use case - Chat on work chat - Take photos, look at photos, share photos - Doom-scroll instagram, X, etc…

Apple is old and uncool but one thing they got going for them is they make great phones and even greater laptops and computers. That's ok for a tech company. Steve Jobs promoted Tim Cook to CEO because Tim Cook is the money man - he is the reason…

shadowself said: I'm running a maxed out 2019 Mac Pro (no, I don't have 1.5 TB of RAM!, but I have a lot). I run high end simulation software in MacOS, Windows 10, and Windows 11 depending on what the software requires. I've been waiting …

Wait so they're not doing the horrid Pixel style camera bar anymore? Phew thank God.

Trump Mobile X account doesn't mention anything about hardware. First post is "bring your own phone" Maybe they gave up on that plan - it would look pretty bad to have a cheap Chinese made phone the "US made" flagship lol. As for creating your …

Countries making iPhones - India - Vietnam - Brazil Soon: Indonesia - same thing they said you can't sell iPhones here if you don't make any here. Apple agreed to invest $1Bn. But... the USA can't do it? So India can do it. Vietnam can do it. Bra…

henrybay said: Apple should make a smaller phone, like the iPhone 13 mini, not a thinner one. People have been saying that so Apple at some point did make a mini version. Nobody bought it. That's not going to come back any time soon.

digitol said: Xcode has been a horrible experience since day one. Provisioning is certain hell and full of issues. Debugger and so many errors it’s a joke. Paying to be a developer is ridiculous, essentially paying to run your own apps and b…

This is just very bad. Almost unbelievable. I am a pretty good engineer - I even worked at Apple at some point; they definitely had the best of the best working there when Steve Jobs came back. They pulled off the iPhone which should be considered o…

Good thing Jony Ive already pulled out all his hair because this design offense is truly horrific. What happened to Apple? Design was the one thing they still had...

I didn't want to be the "Apple lost its way" guy here in this post, but turning automatic updates back on in this update without my consent is insane and Microsoft-like. Automatic updates are on by default. If I have turned them off, I did so expl…

mmWave is not supported in any iPhone 15 or 16 series, except the US market models. That's how "popular" it is around the world! It never worked, never delivered as promised, and one has to wonder, why did carriers spend 100s of Bns on a technol…
