AppleInsider said:Separately, the iPhone 15 is rumored to be bringing significant updates across the range. I clicked this link to see if there was a rumor I had forgotten about, but apart from the periscope lens on the Pro Max and a potent…

Weird check for so many reasons. Would a check really require two signatures (and for such a low value)? Why do the amounts not match? ($100.97 vs $116.97) Would they really have written the cents as a fraction in the upper line rather than just the…

Funny, I was just thinking about a week ago that they should do something like this for iPhones. The glass backs and magnets make the device heavier, thicker and more fragile compared to an aluminum (or titanium?) back. I don’t really see the value …

I’d be surprised if Meta were able to catch up in three years, or even get to where Apple appears to be now. One reason that Android phones were able to progress as quickly as they did following the announcement of the iPhone is that the best compet…

The funny part is how much it just looks like any other LP12, but maybe they’re trying to make a point with that.

The Lightning connector means you may be able to pick one up cheaply in about 10 weeks when new iPhones are announced.

The eye+gesture control appears to be one of the best things about Vision Pro, but I can see something like wireless haptic gloves with small haptic clickers built into the fingertips coming out eventually, either from Apple or a third party.

How anyone would benefit from a mute switch that no longer shows its status at a glance is beyond me, but if these rumors are true, hopefully the wisdom will become evident when the phones are announced and released.

Ideally, Apple would just sell a version of the iPhone that doesn’t include the OS, at a much higher price that reflects the loss of revenue from apps and services. Then people who want the hardware but not the ecosystem can do whatever they want, w…

Products like this might largely solve the stalking vs. theft problem, because a stalker is unlikely to try to hide a backpack on the person they are trying to stalk, so presumably the backpack wouldn’t have to alert a thief to the fact that they we…

Hopefully this is just an attempt by the display producers to move Apple’s competitors towards larger and larger screens, to increase their own profits. Most people use their phones in portrait orientation most of the time (but eyes are side-by-side…

If a company gets hacked and sensitive customer information is compromised, the company should lose the right to ask for sensitive information for, say, ten years. I guess this would probably just cause the companies to try to hide any evidence of h…

I suspect Apple would want to minimize the number of moving parts in their devices, but this sounds like it could be great in all kinds of applications for blind people.

I hope one of the main streaming services will take the opportunity to license more of the vast number of great movies that will now be impossible to see otherwise. I’ve kept my Netflix DVD subscription because it still has a broader catalog than an…

I wonder if this is a result of internal user prototype feedback. I can think of several reasons why this wouldn’t be desirable, and it doesn’t seem to really solve any significant problem from a user perspective. Seems like a classic example of “if…

Amazing that they have the technology to do this, but making a decent pizza is still beyond their reach.

This doesn’t seem like a particularly harmful move, as long as there is some concession (no pun intended) for smaller-budget pictures that may not be able to swing a wide initial release but could definitely benefit from the attention that an Academ…
