  • Apple bumps tvOS to version 9.1.1, adds Podcasts app

    Podcast are not audio only. There are plenty of video options.
    My thoughts exactly. Who the hell listens to only audio podcasts ? You gotta be in your 80s reminiscing about the golden age of radio ;-)

  • Apple marks Lightning-to-USB Camera Adapter as officially iPhone-compatible

     iPad compatibility stretches from the first Retina iPad all the way to the iPad Pro.

    That can't be right, my iPad 3rd gen, the first Retina iPad, doesn't have Lightning, it has the older 30 pin connector. The Lightning connector debuted only the next fall with the 4th gen & my iPad mini.
    Missed it by … that much ! — ( Old Get Smart ref )

    Edit (add) : Hopefully there will be more power available, as the 30 pin to USB adapter that I bought along with the original iPad and tried many times with the 3rd gen always says there's not enough power for most USB sticks I tried.

  • Mark Cuban says Apple should remove Twitter from iOS App Store for objectionable content

    Cuban posted a follow-up tweet on Friday, saying, "People missed my point yesterday. The point is that Apple IS A CENSOR for their apps. I'm curious why they have chosen not to censor twitter."
    Cuban missed Apple's point yesterday. The point is that Apple is a censor for DEVELOPPERS' apps allowed on the their app store, not for the objectionable content those apps can empower even stupid people to create. I'm curious why Cuban has chosen not to censor himself, a missed opportunity indeed for such an opportunist.

    Well he's got a point. Because you guys are apple fans, doesn't mean you can simply dismiss what he's saying.
    Well he's got no point. Because you guys are Apple haters, doesn't mean you can simply accept what he's trolling.

  • Teardown of Apple's Smart Battery Case exposes 1,877mAh battery, simple design

    "As might be expected, the case is essentially impossible to repair. " What the heck is there to repair ? The battery is most likely well over 90 % of the cost, when it's done, move on. As far as the hump goes, it's indeed not pretty but the design allows for a Lightning connector in a chin that will fit in docks, while the top allows for easy installation. It's a case in point of function over form, yet this will still unlikely not put the tired old 'form over function' meme to rest though.
