  • Losing your iPhone makes paying off Apple Card a hassle

    netroxnetrox
    I use mint which helps me manage my finances and if mint cannot access to Apple Card, then it's a deal-breaker. Glad this was brought to my attention as I don't want credit inquiries reported to credit bureaus affecting my score only to find out it won't offer that crucial feature.

  • Analysts predict Apple Pencil support in 2019 iPhone - again

    netroxnetrox
    Why is that they predict a pencil for iphone when you ALREADY can use a stylus? Having a $100 pencil on iPhone makes no sense.

  • Apple Pencil gets impressive updates with iPadOS

    Still like to see Newton-like support for handwriting capture and conversion anywhere the text input engine is used. Seems a waste of time to put my pencil down and start typing on the keyboard. Surely an update of that is possible given Ax performance (20 years later) compared to the StrongARM the Newton was based upon. I find myself missing that ability to take notes or make entries (and the Notes app does it behind the scenes but doesn't display it). Perhaps I'm one of the few. I know Notability and a few other apps do so (in non-real time) but I'd prefer to keep everything in Apple's apps and have that capability everywhere.
    Apple's Notes automatically reads your handswriting but unfortunately, it's done internally and you cannot convert them to text. It's there ready only for search.

  • Apple debuts new $5999 Mac Pro with up to 28-core Xeon processors

    netroxnetrox
    Love how amateurs complain about the costs of Mac Pro... it's for Professionals making lots of money... not for amateurs living on a few hundreds. iMac Pro is for prosumers. Mac Pro is for professionals. iMac is for consumers (but they can do all the things that pros do but at a much slower speed).

  • Apple engineer who led development of A7 through A12X chip cores departs company

    netroxnetrox
    What annoys me is how some people think it's a bad sign when a person leaves company. It's not how it is for many people including me. I generally lose interest after working for a few years and want to move to something different and new even if I have high opinions of the company.
