  • iPhone Fold - what the rumor mill thinks is on the way, and when

    radarthekatradarthekat
    It still needs a compelling reason to exist.   I don’t see the existing foldable phones providing some key use case that is significantly compelling to justify the added complexity and compromise.  Bendable displays, in terms of entirely folding over, may just remain a solution in search of a problem.

    What kind of case will these phones need?   A pouch?  If so,  first you have to take it out of pouch and then flip it open?  Who wants to be bothered with that?  lol.  Or,  will this might new form factor already have the phone with some kind of case material as part of it?   
    Caseless has always been my default. I bought the phone in part because of its appearance, why would I then cover it up in a case?
    Crystal Clear cases solve that issue. Here in The Philippines they can be found for less than $8.  They’ve saved my phone on numerous occasions.

    While I have no interest in folding tech, I’ve come up with a brilliant marketing strategy. Apple calls the foldable the iPhone 17.5.

    Get it? See what I did? Can you believe it? No? No one? Anyone? Hello?
    Or 34/2.

  • Multi-state Apple fraud ring exposed by DHS after routine traffic stop

    What are these Apple devices that are able to be copied so well as to fool Apple Store employees?  Surely not Apple Watches or iPhones or iPads or Mac's.  It would cost far too much to create a working fake that would boot up and be workable as such.

  • Norman Foster speaks on creating Apple Park's iconic spaceship campus

    radarthekatradarthekat
    Foster also designed the McLaren HQ building in England, which looks a lot like the Apple campus. Search for it on Google Maps. And I still think Apple should buy out McLaren completely, which is the equivalent of Apple in the car manufacturing business. Back when I first started pushing this idea on these forums, McLaren's market cap was around $2B, (less than what Apple paid for Beats) but now it's $4B. Pocket change for Apple.

    If Apple does buy McLaren, McLaren should build a new car to fully implement Apple's CarPlay ideas and values, and the car should be called the "McLaren Macintosh." It rolls off the tongue.
    I’ve seen enough YouTubers and their McLarens to believe their cars are nothing like the reliability of iPhones.  I’d rather see Apple buy Mazda.
