AliveCor has no interest in actually banning AppleWatch - for them, this is leverage for getting Apple to pay for using their patents and for doing whatever Apple did to make Kardiabands no longer work. This is just another front in the patent dispu…

One way to easily identify Apple failures is to look at availability internationally. Noticing that availability is low years after launch, it easy to identify Apple Fitness+ as a failure. E.g. Apple TV+ was something Apple believed in, and it had…

JWSC said: Does this indicate Adobe’s decline in relevance? Years ago I was all in on Adobe. But they priced themselves out of the non-commercial market and I dropped them like a hot potato. Very unlikely. More likely that ps and eps h…

Great. Not having USB C was a deciding factor in passing on the iPhone 14 Pro - didn't want to get stuck with that obsolete tech even longer. My iPad pro, my company laptops (customer, employer), my MacBook Pro: They all use USB C. Apple stopped inn…

This is overselling the Apple watch role in this - it didn't detect the cancer, and appendicitis is a routine diagnosis and procedure. Fall detection, the heart rate monitoring, etc has saved lives, but this is a case where the Apple watch was insi…

lkrupp said: Well that’s rich since Google Play charges the same 30% Apple does. It's entirely reasonable, just as it would be for Apple charging extra for Apple Music if paid through Google Play.

This would also explain why I’ve not seen a single product offering what I want: A wireless doorbell supporting HomeKit Secure Video, so I could drop my Ring device and its associated subscription. The requirements sound a bit too aggressive.

Too bad. I've been using this for many years here in Norway, and I will miss it really, really bad. Apple hasn't put effort into keyboards for a long time, prioritizing junk like memojis and shareplay. The native Apple keyboard for most languages d…

jdgaz said: I guess Spotify will now join the beta testing program. I'd be surprised if they weren't already part of it.... Maybe it's the new version of the old myth "DOS ain't done till Lotus won't run"?

I don't care about it for iOS, but for iPadOS it's a must have.

StrangeDays said: Apple’s is $300 more but is smaller, lighter, way more attractive, and has tons of added features, from speakers to the camera to Center Stage, brightness, etc. Seems like the value proposition is there. It also looks l…

Any other screens with a camera available? If one can get a non-Apple screen and a Studio, that might be an attractive combo... the screen is 2800 USD here (Norway), and that's more than I'd put in a screen. The possibility of getting a bigger one o…

It should be noted that Grindr has gotten fines in EU too, due to privacy violations - they sell user info to advertisers.

When a headline feature of an OS release is Shareplay, you know they're scraping the bottom of the barrel. Great with bugfixes, though

Apple isn't shunning Intel chips in a shameless ploy to push its chips Actually, in most of these cases they clearly are. As an owner of a top of the range 2020 Intel iMac, I'm annoyed. It's far more powerful than the M1 based computers that gets t…
