  • Sony has been hyping Apple Vision Pro display tech since 2022

    Two things stand out in this article:
    MicroLED display. So Sony showed this tech ALL THE WAY BACK IN 2022? I see that Samsung is also currently selling MicroLED TV's starting at $74,999. 

    Careful not to mix up LED and OLED. Those are different technologies.

    MicroLED is not the same as MicroOLED. That "O" matters.

    MicroLED is superior to MicroOLED, but is vastly more difficult and expensive to produce.

  • Will the Vision Pro headset disrupt the high-end TV market?

    Not at all.

    Agreed. Two different experiences that can co-exist.

  • iPhone 15 Pro models will not have solid-state buttons, shareholder letter confirms

    Periscope lens - yes! Solid-state buttons - whatever. Right now the camera is the iPhone’s most important feature for me. I don’t play games, so the speed of the CPU is less critical. What is critical is a reliable cell connection, and Apple has no control over that. Verizon has terrible connectivity issues several miles around my home. I admit it, I’d love to see an Apple owned/designed/maintained cellular network. I’d happily pay the tax.
    (sorry for off-topic)
    I currently own the iPhone 13 mini and love it’s form-factor, but I also admit many apps simply won’t scale down to its screen size, and I often can’t find buttons. And the keyboard is a bit tiny. So I hope that the periscope lens will be in the normal 15 Pro.

    Have you considered a Cell Repeater mounted on your house? It would give you good local coverage. Wide price ranges, but would solve any frustration issues that you may experience.

  • Samsung considering Microsoft's AI-powered Bing as default search engine over Google

    coolfactorcoolfactor
    I hope that Apple can implement an honest and reliable, geographically-relevant search engine as its own default. I've tried to use DuckDuckGo for years, but it keeps defaulting to US-based results, rather than results relevant to my own geographic location. Google excels at providing relevant results, even when I don't allow my location to be known. They accurately use my IP address as the general location reference.
