I was one of those disappointed by Siri's limited improvements - and I'm on 18.2 beta :-( Before and after AI, Siri is just as dumb as it's always been: [IEntry condition: my library has 7 albums by the group "James", one of which is "James: The B…

I love Parallels Desktop - I’ve used it for years in order to run TurboTax Business in a Windows x86 VM and to test a Java app I developed on that VM as well as x86 Linux VMs. But I really don’t see the point of it on ARM based Macs. There hardly …

Does anyone know if there are any big improvements to SSD speeds of late? I have a 2021 MBP (32gb, Max chip) and my daily workflow revolves around compiling thousands of files of code - a faster processor isn't going to help me much, but a much f…

Apple Pay itself has always been a joy to use - but Apple Wallet is annoying to no end. Once again today, I see a notification badge with a number in it on the wallet icon. But the app is so poorly written that, once you go into the Wallet, you h…

The “Holy Grail” option - but with the iPhone doing all the heavy lifting - is the only one that would have mass appeal. I have no idea why Tim Cook et al insist on doing everything in glasses (or even in the current VP headset) when there simply …

Anecdotally - my wife and I upgraded from iPhone 15 Pro Maxes 8 days ago - the 16 Pro Max is actually doing worse. Regularly now, by bed time our phones are 30% full whereas our 15 Pro Maxes were around 50% under same usage. At first I thought it’…

Echoing what @araquen wrote, the author has no basis in fact to state (in the title) "Apple calling everything that it released 'intelligent' won't help it catch up" as there is no other company that is doing what Apple is doing with regards to AI.…

"Consequently, Apple Card balances are running at $17 billion " - consequently to what??? The previous paragraph talks about GM card balances and how Barclays is likely unwilling to pay asking price given the large charge-off ratio on GM card. Non…

I'm pretty sure that a foldable-screen laptop won't have the moniker "Pro". How could it? It'll have less actual screen space - the part you'd look at rather than type on or point with - and we all know how much less efficient on-screen keyboards …

" ...but that could be less about CarPlay, and more about how owners are so unhappy with infotainment systems provided by car makers" - I don't think that's the case. By all accounts, Rivian's and Tesla's infotainment systems are very nice. The pr…

Not a very convincing article. The author has no evidence that Apple is actually readying a ring. Sure, Apple has been filing patents for ring-like devices for years, but it does that even when it has no current plans for one. It's called resear…

I doubt there will be a 10% increase in iPhone sales for the iPhone 16 introduction. For one, none of the AI features Apple is hyping will be available this year - judging by their complete absence in the 3rd developer beta of iOS 18, we're talkin…

For me, after authenticating, the iPhone window on the mac just sits there with "Connect to xxx" where xxx is the name of my iPhone. Rather bizarre. I have both bluetooth and wifi enabled. As a bonus, the "Feedback Assistant" doesn't yet have an …
