  • Apple rolls out watchOS 6.1 update for Apple Watch Series 1 through Series 5 owners

    payeco said:
    Anyone have a build number for this release? I’ve been running the betas and I’m curious if this is just the most recent beta release.

    Edit: I’m guessing they’re not the same because I removed the beta profile and ran software update and it’s installing an update.
    Well, I took the plunge to 6.1 without issues thankfully. The build number is 6.1(17S84)

    Hoping this one could fix the camera annoyance with the iPhone 6s that iOS 13.1.2 didn’t.
    Yeah, like as if we all know what you are babbling about because it’s annoying everybody. Now explain yourself.

  • Editorial: Why Microsoft Surface isn't growing after seven years of trying

    "Surface originally appeared as a response to the iPad, which immediately began crushing PC sales after it appeared in 2010 and began Disrupting the market. Common PCs and notebooks were over-serving most users' needs while introducing excessive complication into their lives. The super-simple and highly mobile iPad appealed to everyone from children to business executives.” Remember all the comments about the iPad being a toy and simply a media consumption device. No “real” work could be done on the iPad? But those people never quit so on it goes.

    The upcoming super SE shows that Apple is being more flexible. It can offer price points on new phones below $500, and make it up elsewhere in services and accessories. Nice to see Apple now has a Bollywood category in films.
    Complete, unsubstantiated nonsense straight from the rumor mill. Why would you write as if it’s a fact? Really.

  • US lawmakers urge Apple CEO Tim Cook to reinstate HKmap Live app

    I can't stand China one bit.  China's policies and attitudes are the worst for global trade and intellectual property.  I can't think of anything better than its citizens to rise up once and for all and topple that government, Hong Kong being a prime example of the distrust its citizens have towards the Chinese government.

    That being said, our government should butt out about what Apple should do with its business in China.  We don't like it when China tries to tell us what to do, so neither should we.

    These politicians are only making a ruckus to ensure their re-election.  Nothing more.
    Chinese citizens tried rising up. It was called Tiananmen Square and the army opened fire with automatic weapons and tanks, killing hundreds if not thousands of their fellow citizens. Do you think it would be any different today? Let’s also say Apple restores the Hong Kong app and the next day all of Apple’s suppliers are shut down. Then what?

    I’m not supporting or condemning Apple in this but when you are dealing with a totalitarian dictatorship that is willing to slaughter its own citizens to remain in power that's not something Apple is equipped to deal with.
