I think this is good news. Any time Apple can be seen as partnering with other companies, makes the introduction of new Apple technologies/standards seem less "walled garden" and more leading among peers.

I wonder if the existence of the Apple Watch has affected the iPhone lineup. One rationale for having a 4-inch form factor phone is the ease of one-handed use. Even Steve acknowledged the importance of this consideration when talking about the size…

This one time, at coding camp...

Every time I hear the words Apple and market share in the same sentence, I want to vomit. Apple doesn't prioritize having X% of market share, so its performance cannot be judged by this metric.

I am interested in this, but at that price point would need to try it before I buy. I think this is a major hurdle. The price is at least 10x the cost of a normal shower head, and given that the experience is supposed to justify the price, they nee…

This is a great feature I'll make use of. Whenever I leave the house to walk to a local store, my iPhone always tries to hang on to my home wifi signal, even when I've gone clear past its range. When this happens, I can no longer connect to the in…

I think it's interesting that Apple's watches are luxurious, but they are not "luxury" watches. When you buy a "luxury" watch, you are paying a huge markup for the brand. Some costing as much or more than a car. When you buy an Apple watch, you ge…

An interesting solution to the "too much footage, too lazy to edit" problem. What they really need is a compelling use case though. When I read about it, I see potential, but exactly what for is still hazy.

I think one drawback to an iBeacon implementation like Target's is that you need to first download their app. It would be much less hassle and more enticing to someone like me, who doesn't shop often, to just opt-in on the spot when I walk into a s…

I think this could be huge. Imagine if Apple does as well in enterprise as it does in consumer. Tons of room for growth in this traditionally Windows-dominated area.

Seems like a case of "let's sue the rich corporation because I can". I'm not saying Apple isn't at fault, but it just seems very opportunistic.

I'm more curious about the people in the background. Who are they, how do they have this kind of access, and what sort of compensation are they receiving for these kinds of photos?

I don't see how Apple getting into the carrier business makes sense. Can someone who thinks so shed some light on this idea?
