"Apple is even working on integrating the C-series chips directly into its A and M-series processors. Which means, theoretically, we could finally get cellular Macs." It doesn't mean that at all! Whether the C1 is a chip by itself or on the proce…

If this really existed - not an assured thing in this rumor driven world - then it's the dumbest idea ever. Thanks god it was canceled! I could understand AR glasses tethered than iPhone - at least you could still experience AR's promise of augmen…

"...foldable MacBook Pro..." - now THAT is something I could get enthusiastic about (vs. a foldable iPhone.) Since Covid, I've gotten so used to doing all my work from a comfy chair in the living room rather than connected to two external monitors …

"...and disable JavaScript when not needed. Browser extensions that block scripts can also help." - anybody else find this advice useless? Seems to me that you wouldn't be able to use a high level , interpreted language like Javascript to exploit a…

"That said, tethering to an iPhone or another device could help further, by handling processing for the glasses. This offloads another set of components and reduces the power draw, but it still means it'll be connected to another piece of kit." - th…

I don't know what can save Siri - not sure a project manager is enough. As an article by John Gruber just yesterday related, Siri is dumb and apparently getting dumber by the day: https://daringfireball.net/2025/01/siri_is_super_dumb_and_getting_du…

If you look back at the same time last year, Erik Woodring forecast a significant upgrade cycle due to AI features in the upcoming iPhone 16. I know, because I ridiculed him and other analysts over it at the time. Of course the anticipated AI-dri…

From an ergonomic perspective, it seems pretty far fetched. Apple, renowned for its superior user interfaces, would surely not make the mistake of putting cameras where a lot of us would hold a phone while in landscape mode? Added to that, this b…

While I applaud any heat-related improvements in iPhones, I think whatever heat 'problem' iPhones are stated to have is completely overblown. I've had both the iPhone 15 and 16 Pro Max's and never noticed any unusual heat, except the first few days…

Wow, this is indeed great news - at least for me! Because x86 VMs weren't supported, I had to keep around my x86 MBP laptop so I could build our product for x86 Windows & Linux (and to run TurboTax for Business once a year - as that is only ava…

"Alongside the high blood pressure detection in the Apple Watch," - AFAIK the Apple Watch has no such feature yet - or is this trying to say the the upcoming Apple Watch will have this feature? With respect to the Ultra, are there any indications bl…

“Current speculation is the use of something more like spectacles, rather than an Apple Vision Pro-like device. Processing is said to be handed off to an iPhone or a similar piece of hardware.” If that were really the current thinking at Apple, then…

It's not clear to me from the article whether any app can do this without *ever* getting any kind of permission first. The article only says that it can grab the data "without you even knowing" - that could be sometime after an initial set of permi…

When I read this sentence: “ For context, that Wall Street estimate matches almost exactly the money Apple made from the iPhone in 2008” I was convinced that a lot more iPhones sold the first year than Vision Pro - and, sure enough, google it and th…

Must be a slow news day when a lengthy article complains about Apple's "wrong-headedness" on the scantiest of rumors regarding the iPhone 17 "Slim". First of all, we don't know how much slimmer - some rumors, since that's what you're basing your en…

I see a lot of information about CPU/GPU performance. I wonder if anyone has any performance information on the built-in SSD? I have a very disk-intensive workflow and use a 2021 MBP (iw. Max 1, 32gb RAM) - will the 2024 MBP's SSD perform substant…

I think the only question that needs asking is "Does a ring bring anything extra to the table [from the Apple Watch] to warrant 'one more device to charge'?" I already saw a comment about a ring being more comfortable to wear overnight - but I d…
