  • Processor cost could drive prices of the iPhone 18 range up

    I’m wondering whether we are already reaching the end of each subsequent M chip providing significant speed increases due to their design, and we’re already depending mostly on shrinking the transistors.

  • Tim Cook really wants Apple Glass to become a reality

    I suppose there are about five gingillion challenges for such a device to become true. One of them is battery tech, like in general for all battery driven gadgets. No one wants to wear a separate battery pack, or accept a very short time between charges. Even if the glasses would be effectively powered by your phone, you still need decent battery life for the networking, sponsoring and the displays. So, if this is THE device for TC, then I would also suppose they are working hard on breakthrough battery tech, which I would expect to be quite some years away.
    In the meantime, he focuses on so quality overall, and _maybe_ takes more interest in what happens on the AI side of things within Apple, I just as an example.
    Apart from AI-add-ons, I personally would welcome things like a real 5.1/7.1 good sounding HomePod audio system, a subscription service for books, finally blood pressure monitoring through the AW, and as Anton Ego said in Ratatoullie: “surprise me”. Like re-thinking the car, which may have been too big for them. 
    As for the repeatedly occurring reports on “unfriendly competing teams” I would like to hear more on Apple having a clear vision and strategy on the way forward, aligning the LS team.

  • Numbers, Pages, and Keynote gain Apple Intelligence smarts

    Not a witty or emphatic person? No problem, just push a button and you can pretend you are!
    And this is just the beginning. Looking forward to conversations in forums, or between friends in a social media thread*, all written by their various “surrogates”, virtual partners like in “her”, teachers’ apps rating students’ “work” generated by apps. Presentations generates by AI, summarized in MoM by another AI…
    we’re entering a new era.

    What's the EU got to do with this?

    Are you in the wrong thread, or are you just stuck in an outrage loop from ten years ago?
    Ok. I’ll try to make this easy: 
    1. EU is currently on a roll fining huge fines, ok?
    2. Uk is not in the EU anymore, don’t doesn’t profit from that, right?
    3. I leave 3 up to you. 

    Here’s some /s for you as well. 

    Have a good one.
