thadec said: As for Android, "the whole Android OS I heavily infringes on Apple’s iPhone inventions" is not true and never has been. Sorry, but I have to side with Steve Jobs on this one, that Android is stolen technology. The evidence is ov…

Firstly, the ITC need to look at how all the other watchmakers, including all the cheap Chines knockoffs, are monitoring blood oxygen. If they infringe the same patents, then bans need to be implemented across the board. Too often, Apple is seen as …

As the “store owner” surely Apple has a right to charge a fee, in this case 30%. Amazon and eBay (as do most other online storefronts) charge a fee to use their service, as does every single bricks and mortar store, when you purchase an item with ma…

What about other devices that have their own App Store. I’m thinking Sony PlayStation, XBox, all Smart TVs. What about streaming - should Netflix be forced to allow content from other sources? I only hope that if Apple is forced to allow side loadin…

A little off topic, but I just realised that the new MacBook Air desktop backgrounds actually spell out “AIR”. Clever - I didn’t pick them up in the keynote.

I wonder if the AR/VR headset will have its own battery that is connected via MagSafe, or can be recharged via a charging case, similar to AirPods. Being cordless would a great point of difference

If this new horizontal Home Screen is true I would also expect to see a new Apple charging stand, and/or a HomePod with a dock.

So, just confirming that this indeed is a new transparency effect in the control centre pull up background. Depending on your watch face background, you’ll see slightly different tints (around 5%) of colour showing through. So not a bug, or anything…

Imagine if Apple’s AR device was more than just a gaming accessory. What if it was a health device too. Glasses that could aid eyesight by automatically adjusting focal length and clarity for the wearer. Able to adjust for colour blindness, recognis…

I realise that Apple has spent a long time developing their AR, but I can’t help but wonder if their time has been misplaced. Both MS and Google tried, and failed, which is not unusual, and Samsung will no doubt copy as soon as it can, but until an …

Hehe. Chinese company suing to stop clones/rip-offs. That’s what Chinas’s economy is built on.

Chin looks waaay better. Bulked-up backs say “we tried to look thin but couldn’t do it, so we hid the mistakes at the back”.

I’m sure the real watch adverts will have much better copywriting and grammar.

There’s always the possibility that the new larger display watch will support an optional battery-band, with charging capabilities. This is something that Apple has explored, and would make sense for a watch with a larger screen and high workout use…

We all know that business ethics do not exist in China. Combine that with a government that demands access to all your information or else you “disappear”, and you’ve got no data privacy whatsoever. “Strong data security” does not mean that it is no…
