There has been a lot of hand wringing online by people who wail that Apple is late to the AI party. I'd rather see this type of cautious, measured approach rather than toss caution to the wind and push out consumer-facing AI features that are barel…

As I predicted there will be no event. That deadline came and went over a week ago (Tuesday October 15). It's interesting to see that Apple has chosen to have in-person events in Los Angeles instead of an event at the corporate campus and that they…

It is extremely unlikely that we will see any products next week utilizing the M4 Max or M4 Ultra SoCs. It is crystal clear that Apple Engineering (both hardware and software) doesn't have the bandwidth to launch all four variants at the same time o…

Good for the CFPB the fine is justly assigned. While I wasn't the victim of fraud I have certainly suffered poor customer service using Apple Card. I made two small transactions when I got my card (September 2019) and when I tried to pay, the app…

entropys said: Sigh, I guess have to wait for autumn 2025 for the M4 MBAs Probably not that long. MacBook Airs use the entry level silicon not the Pro, Max or Ultra variants. Plus they are the top selling Mac models in unit sales. If Apple…

AppleInsider said: Apple sees Apple Intelligence as a decades-long arc that needs to be done responsibly. That arc begins with iOS 18.1 and the other operating systems on or around October 28. As I mentioned elsewhere all consumer-facin…

I am trialing this on a backup iPhone with an unused eSIM. Signup and configuration via the myAT&T app went very smoothly and uneventfully. As the article mentions there were no prompts asking for credit card information. Provisioning the eSIM t…

Another problem with the View-Master was the lack of any input controls. It was a pretty passive experience. Not sure if a sleeved iPhone would have the ability to translate hand gestures into input commands. They would have to include sensors into…

Apple live events usually start at 1pm ET but not always. That said when an event has a live component Apple typically sends the invitation email in advance to give people time to book travel. Since the pandemic Apple has leaned to giving two weeks…
