  • Apple rumored to introduce 5" 'iPhone 7s' in 2017 with vertical dual-lens array

    Not only that, I love my 7 and SE. I'm glad I skipped the ugly 6 series. Looking at my 5S the 6 series always felt like a downgrade. 
    A 7s would not be the worst thing in the world. It's not like a junky Pixel or S8 would take the spotlight and take sales. 

    A 7s is a perfectly fine 2017 iPhone.
    Uh...what?  You "love" your 7, but the 99% identical-looking 6 was intolerable?  I guess this is why it pays to have a marketing department.

    I was a part time employee at one of the first Apple Stores, 2001? I didn't get any benefits including breaks or lunch because they never gave me more than a four hour shift. We were all so stoked to be working for Apple that we didn't care. Those were the good old days when Apple was "beleaguered" and only true believer fans like me were hired. There are so many stores today that they have to hire people who are only looking for a paycheck and are not evangelists. We gave out free cold water from the Genius Bar refrigerator too. Gone are the days. 
    You were given a 4-hour shift because of numerous business hostile regulations and because of the requirements from the Obama administration that full-time employees be given healthcare coverage and other mandatories which make full time employees unaffordable. Screw the Democrats and their union handlers who have put these regulations in place which end up costing jobs and crippling American businesses.
    Easy killer.  Damn Obama and his regulations in 2001...  
    They had 8 years to change things for the better for American workers and businesses, but they made it all worse every single time.
    Giving people a fair wage and reasonable working conditions isn't "hostile to business".  As a customer having my screen replaced, or my lunch cooked sufficiently, or in many other situations, I would prefer someone help me whose quality of work isn't lowered by fatigue and hunger.  This keeps me as a customer, and paying a fair wage also makes more customers.  If you have to treat employees like slaves for your business to succeed, your business is doomed anyway.

  • Apple yanks watchOS 3.1.1 update following user complaints

    My Apple Watch Series 1 updated just fine. 
    So did my iPhone. 
    So did my Apple TV. 
    So did my Macbook. 

    Just like every single other update I've done in the past several years. 

    But, I'm sure the 0.1% of people having issues is "evidence" that Apple is in a downward spiral, SJ is rolling in his grave, and doom is at hand. 
    And yet, the fact remains that Apple pulled the update. Maybe you should defer to their expertise?

  • Apple makes case for Apple Watch Series 2 Christmas gifts in new ad series

    I have the Series 2, I love it and use it daily.

     I must be getting old, I can't see the relevance in such quick advertising. You barely get a taste of the theme.

    this wouldn't entice me! But I hope it does inspire other would be buyers.


    Agreed - these are terrible. Nothing shown to differentiate from anything else, AW or otherwise. Just a waste of time to view, and a waste of money to air.  

    When people didn't quite understand the iPhone, the ads at the time presented select workflows in a thoughtful and enticing way. The smart watch is similarly misunderstood today, and could benefit from a such an approach.
