  • iCloud lawsuit fails over misunderstanding of storage tiers

    melgrossmelgross
    It’s amusing that someone is giving dislikes to these of us who thing this lawsuits was ridiculous. I wonder if it’s the person who brought the lawsuits? Otherwise who, in their right mind, could agree with it? It’s so obviously ridiculous

  • iPhone 17 Pro camera may gain 8x zoom and a new Pro app

    So wait, is this saying (rumor, rumor) that we will be getting a tele optical zoom lens? Because, if so, that’s a very odd way to describe it. Otherwise, it sounds like the old Leica various focal lens, which was not quite a zoom because you would move the “zoom” control, but just get several fixed focal lengths.

    either would be better than no optical zoom. But I would prefer a true 3x optical zoom for the main camera. Something like 24-72mm equivalent. That would make their best camera more like a stand alone digital camera. Eventually, I’d love a 12-24 for the new ultra wide. And a 72 -288 for the tele. Those ranges because it’s hard to make a wide range wide angle zoom, but easy to make a wide range tele zoom. It would kill the 4:3 format which is barely hanging on as it us.

    It’s amazing what people will sue over. What would the extra 5gb storage be worth a month? Less than a dollar for certain, considering what the 200gb tier costs.

  • M5 iPad Pro to gain dual front-facing cameras in late 2025

    melgrossmelgross
    What I’ve noticed is that while the only times I had problems unlocking my 13” in the horizontal position with the vertical positioned camera, was if I was holding it there with my hand and had the camera covered, where it would tell me and I’d take my hand away.

    but with FaceTime on the landscape side, the unlocking is a lot more UNRELIABLE. Now, if my face isn’t high enough, and I’m not looking up, it fails. And yes, I have the “attention” feature turned off. When I mentioned this to an Apple employe, he smiled at me. So yeah, Apple knows something isn’t right with this. I hope they fix this, this year. To say that it’s annoying, is to be extremely restrained in my reaction.

  • Apple seeds release candidates for iOS 18.6, iPadOS 18.6, macOS Sequoia 15.6

    This is nice, but what has happened to the public beta of iOS and iPad 26? It was thought to be coming out possibly at the beginning of the second week in July along with a modified developer beta 3. We haven’t heard anything yet, and here it is three weeks in. Are they having problems? This is a pretty long interval.
