  • Apple's fix for bad AI notification summaries won't actually improve results

    kkqd1337kkqd1337
    I think major news organisations should be able to opt out of their data being AI processed

  • iPad mini 7 two-month review: Now I get it

    kkqd1337kkqd1337
    Good, fair review. I really would like one. 

    But my laptop is due for an upgrade within the next 12 months and have been gently researching what to buy, I’m expecting to spent about $1200 on that and it just sort of puts into perspective how expensive the mini is as a companion device. 

    It’s just that bit too expensive to be an impulse buy for me.

    $550 isn't really an "ultra premium" price range for headphones. It's really more a of mid-range. There are all kinds of products in the $700 to $1,0000 price range. 
    Yeah, no. This is like saying the Mercedes G-Wagon is really more of a mid-range SUV because Lambo, Bentley, Rolls, etc SUVs can cost twice as much and MUCH more. $550 for wireless cans is an ultrapremium price tag relative to the rest of the market, overall, and certainly to Apple's most direct competition from Sony and Bose. 
    LOL...economy range for headphones is $100 to $300. Mid range is $300 to $600. High end range would be $600 to $1,000. You have to go above $1,000 to really start looking for something "ultra premium".

    That's not really different relative to cars where economy is $15,000 to $25,000, mid range is $30,000 to $60,000, and luxury would be $60,000 to $90,000. The current average new car price is around $45,000 right now.  




    APM are high end ultra premium to consumers. Sony are also ultra premium but offer better value for money.

    People spending more are either audio nerds or professionals.

  • Wedding banned - Apple Watches not welcome at fashionista's ceremony

    kkqd1337kkqd1337
    As the article alludes, I guess that if a guest has a medical condition, such as diabetes, and uses the Apple Watch as a monitor using one of the devices for such purpose, they're just SOL, huh?  Were I such a person (fortunately, I am not), the couple would have to make a choice, either I wear my watch, or I don't attend.  I'd be fine not attending the wedding of someone who put their "vision" ahead of my health.

    I am also fortunate that I don't know any people who would actually do this.
    Please. Nobody's life is dependant on the 24/7 wearing of an Apple watch. However, It is a very self indulgent and stupid request.

    At my wedding I am going to insit EVERY guest, and YES even small babies, wear a vacheron constantin. There will be specialist authenticity checks at the door.

  • Half of Apple developers have doubts about making Apple Vision Pro apps

    kkqd1337kkqd1337
    I would argue they are impressive figures

    The AVP market share must be absolutely miniscule, I would be very hesitant to invest my time and money developing for it.

    So to say 50% of developers are not writing it off and considering allocating resources to it is pretty impressive, and surprising.
