Yeah, leaving your brand off the most impressive side of the unit seemed way off beam for Cupertino, but no other device has the logo on the screen side. Emerson would have something to say about this.

Seems small, but the Mail icon now looks more like an envelope and less like an hourglass. A bigger issue is that a guide that you make in maps only shows about a half dozen entries. it wants to scroll as far as the list would seem to be, but only …

This is great. Now do true macos-style user accounts.

The prof is the great Malachi Weir from “Billions”. Can’t quite place the librarian…

Keeping servers in the states makes a lot of sense. They wouldn’t have them in China. They would never have them in Russia. And housing them anywhere in the EU means that they’d have to be subject to their laws. If the servers are in the United Stat…

This thing is simultaneously too much and too little. 42% price increase is too much for the entry level phone. Including a processor for AI means they’ll start charging for a certain level or usage of their AI. Already Invites requires the paid tie…

Sorry, but a 42% increase in price for what's supposed to be their basic model phone isn't helping anyone. The camera trick is just weird. You can "zoom in" on any image by cropping and filling the screen, they're just doing it in camera. Just m…

I tend to think they distilled Dark Sky into their Weather app, made it dead simple to quickly get the info needed. Only real competitor for UX was/is Yahoo weather. Wunderground swallowed WSI and dropped several of their best features.

Apps should follow the same rules as texting / calling. If I say “stop contacting me” to subscribe or to go “pro”, then that’s it. Nagging me every third screen makes your app a hair’s-breadth from unusable.

So let me get this straight, Qualcomm is betting that someone is going to switch processors, operating systems, ecosystems, all because they can’t figure out how to turn off the notifications in macOS? Is that person going to switch to windows phon…

Ya know... For someone who remembers what it took to draw a single static line on the screen on an Apple ][, this sort of thing is fundamentally amazing and also just plain amazing. Glad there are still new things to try with interface elements.…

Really? This is the result of a small percentage of the human race who didn't like the ad, amplified by the "everyone run to the same side of the boat" effect that social media creates. I may have suggested a funnel - or some other metaphor - but…

Good. Recently moved our biz eMail service to Exchange. Their (seemingly ever-changing) login verification system is a twisty path for all involved. This will at least put it in the set-it-and-forget-it realm for Apple users.

Halle-freakin-lujah!

At the very least release it for iPadOS. Design consistency in macOS would be nice, but Apple - it's a basic app - stop me from installing pCalc on all 3 platforms. pCalc is great, but it can't have the same design on all 3 platforms either. Clo…

Why is there still an iPad Air with 19 grams (that's 4 US nickels) difference from the standard iPad? Mini. iPad. Pro. Done.

Finally sold mine in 2022. A great workhorse. Bought as a $900 refurb, lasted the same time as 3-1/2 $300 (“but they’re cheaper!) wintels.

The cynical view is that this is simply a threat to Apple’s profits if they allow 3rd party apps direct to devices. The actual threat / gain to customers is security. Due to the integrated nature of Apple’s ecosystem. Which is priceless. Actually,…
