tht said: Is there anything else from Gurman? Seems like a nothing burger of an article. Why yes, Apple is toiling away at an AR glasses product that they know will take years, 2030s, to become a product. Also true for metalens cameras, M7 S…

This contradicts an earlier rumor speculating a Home controller in the first half of 2025. We have been over this before. If Apple is going to launch this platform, they need to have the requisite software infrastructure in place. Not just HomePod…

Apple -- like many other Fortune 500 companies -- has moved away from having an executive chairman of the board. There is considerable value in having a non-executive (outside) chairman as well as non-executive directors for oversight. Remember tha…

Apple buying TikTok -- or any other social network for that matter -- makes zero sense based on Apple's business model. They are a software/services company whose offerings work best on their proprietary hardware. Their quarterly earnings reports ha…

This issue isn't whether or not Apple Intelligence or any LLM-powered AI chatbot can provide the correct answers. The issue is the fact that these chatbot assistants will provide the wrong answers occasionally. Let's take this example from 9to5Mac:…

One glaring omission from macOS is any semblance of health monitoring. All of today's consumer health monitoring innovations have been driven by smartphones. It started with activity trackers on iPhones and other smartphones. A lot of this really r…

Apple's greatest innovation in the 21st century is the iPhone. Anyone who thinks otherwise is still living in 2005-2010. Steve introduced the iPhone in 2007 as "the computer for the rest of us" then went on to remove Computer from the name of his o…

pslice said: Just wondering if these countries are subsidizing this program. Would be nice if Apple offered it in the US. These sort of promotions are funded from the marketing divisions for each country. Thus Apple Japan will do somethin…

The external Apple SuperDrive peripheral was a stupid product, insanely overpriced and wouldn't work with Windows PCs (the firmware was programmed to look for a Mac). While there were once lots of companies that slapped their name on optical drives…

My guess is Apple is pivoting away from scripted shows and moving more toward sports since the latter have more broad appeal worldwide. Something like "Severance" is going to appeal primarily to a limited demographic that has a connection to the Wes…

bloggerblog said: I would like to see Apple run their own MacWorld expo, no iPhones or iPads, just Macs. MacWorld events were super useful and I miss them. I'm sure there will be iPhone, iPad, Windows, Linux, and other products but they'll be…

These bugfix point releases are almost always better than the software they're updating. It's really the feature releases where more bugs are introduced including regressions. In some cases, I will wait for the point release. For example if I'm ru…
