  • Tim Cook confirms Apple is researching ChatGPT-style AI

    An Apple-engineered generative AI would mean I never again have to sift through the mountains of sponsored crap to find information I need or want. It would end Google's domination of search for me. And good riddance, too. The only problem I see is real-time updates to the data set. That's a massive undertaking requiring upfront capital expenditures for hardware well before any financial benefits would be realized. Lot of money, even for Apple.
    Because Apple is essentially the only large vertical computer left from the bygone era, whatever Apples solution is it won’t be a Microsoft or Google solution, and that is reflected in the products that they make currently today that are used by the general public, that question and answer session is probably the media fishing to see if Apple is going to follow along with everyone else’s solutions in AI, in short, they want to be reassured that Apple is a part of the new AI hype, with the rest, and are not venturing outside somewhere else be it in Game Engines, GPU’s, Servers, or Modems. Although they are already executing on two of those items now as far as we know officially.

    Another thing, that’s interesting is that every time Tim Cook is asked the question, Tim briefly explains just a little of what Apple is doing and because doesn’t line up with what everyone else is doing the media and the Wall Street analyst‘s eyes glaze over every time. 

    Apple is on a different path and that will be demonstrated very graphically early next year with the release of the Apple Vision Pro, Apple is not in alignment with the rest, yes there are some similarities in some areas but the path is distinctly different.

  • iPhone 15 Pro review: Best balance of performance to price yet in an iPhone

    The "Apple did USB C on their own" is simply not true. Apple agreed in 2009 and 2014 to standardize the connector. EU told about the plans in 2019 to make it USB-C - that is 4 years ago. And no... Apple couldn't wait to next year. Apple is selling iPhone 13, 14, 15 - next year it will be 14, 15, 16... but at the end of 2024 only USB-C devices can be in the shops.

    Apple will have to terminate sales of non USB-C devices clear all inventory from 27 countries... if they did so with 16 then they would have 3 months to get rid of all previous versions. It had to be this year, and even so iPhone 14 will have to be removed ahead of time from EU probably early next year to avoid having the products in the shops.
    Ironically the resale value of all those existing iPhones before the 15 series will go up within the EU, no one will be crying about the I/O of any iPhone product. The performance of the 11 series iPhones/iPad upgraded to the latest iOS 17/iPad OS upgrade is astounding, the OS feels more polished.

    I made a mistake buying the iPhone 12 when I should have gotten the iPhone 12 Pro. If your usage habits is to keep an iPhone for 4 to 5 years, get the Pro models. My wife has the 12 Pro, and every time I use it, it seems "faster". Not sure what it is. Perhaps the 6 GB of RAM?

    So, if you are getting a phone for 4 to 5 or more years, it behooves you to get the more expensive versions.
    Upgrading to iOS 17, and using the 11 Pro iPhone has been fun, it feels like a new phone even though it isn’t, and the same goes for my 12.9 third generation iPad Pro upgrading to the latest OS and it feels like a new machine too. Both are four years old. :blush:

    Titanium is mined exclusively in Russia. Source: Russia. Thank you for being upfront about the materials of construction. BtW, medically-implanted joint replacements aren’t Ti.
    As of 2022 that appears to be false. Russia isn’t the leading country, you won’t be happy with who is, too bad the average citizen (miner) doesn’t benefit so much.

    Most likely outcome: SC doesn't take up the case. 
    Lets hope so...We have much more pressing things to worry about than some pissant who thinks his company isn't doing the very same things he pissing and moaning about Apple for. He really just needs to be ousted from Epic Games. He's an embarrassment to the company. 
    Sweeney Todd isn’t going anywhere he is an Evil Genius, Unreal Engine I must admit is an awesome piece of software. Too bad Apple was looking the other way when it came to game engines. 

    Speaking of which another piece of software that is awesome is Blackmagic Camera app for iOS, works on a four year-old iPad Pro. And also works on 11 Pro iPhone and everything else that’s been released after, the very definition of a great third-party program.
