  • Ireland is Apple's second home, says Tim Cook

    It’s great having them here. 
    Now, Tim and Micheál, figure out a way to open a couple of Apple Stores in the country, please (If there are some regulatory hurdles, can they be sorted?)  
    One more thing, since you’ve already given us Apple One Premium, please add Apple News+ to make it complete!

    That's brilliant. Now we need to round up roster of users from Antartica and Upper Mongolia who actually use the Apple equivalent of Office. In my entire time in IT and as a Uni Phd student I have yet to see anyone using other than Word, Excel, Powerpoint. 
    Greetings from Mongolian Antarctica!
    As a regular (and long-time) user of both Pages and Keynote I’m surprised to read your post. I’ve used Word and PowerPoint over the decades but moved to Pages and Keynote exclusively many years ago. Bring free certainly helped. However, the main reason is ease of use. I work almost exclusively from an iPad and find Keynote, in particular, to be intuitive and very user friendly. When I need to work with Office documents I simply import them into the Apple equivalent and work with them there. When necessary, I export them back to their Office versions and it’s a painless exercise. 
    Sadly, as I live in the EU (Ireland), I won’t have access to these new feature until April. I am very much looking forward to using Image Playground for Keynote, as I regularly spend far too long finding appropriate images for my presentations. From what I’ve seen so far, I should be able to create suitable ones in seconds for each slide. I don’t need photorealistic, just clear and relevant.

    This is great. Apple -- Please tell us when the BloodO2 sensor will be turned back on in a Series 10, so I can reconsider picking one up. 

    Right now I'm sticking with my Series 9 that still has the BloodO2 sensor app installed from release day.
    If you happen to be taking a trip to another country — literally any other country where Apple sells the Apple Watch — pick one up there. The Blood O2 sensor will work just fine, even after you return. The ban is strictly limited to the US.

    PS. International travel is GREAT, and I strongly encourage Americans to do more of it if the opportunity arises.
    However, be sure to buy that Watch from a country that is part of the same region as the US. Apple operates several regions globally for their Watches. European, Asian and Chinese Watches are not the same as North American ones.

  • New Apple Belfast is the only Apple Store in Northern Ireland

    I had the pleasure of attending the opening of the previous one in Victoria Square. It’s quite the surreal experience! Won’t make it for tomorrow’s opening, unfortunately, but will try to visit it very soon. Visiting an Apple Store is always enjoyable.

  • Scammers use AI to create scarily convincing phishing calls

    I hope Jim Browning (https://m.youtube.com/@JimBrowning) does a video on this. I’ve found his work very informative and helpful. He almost got scammed himself a few years ago: https://youtu.be/YIWV5fSaUB8?feature=shared

    sobering stuff!
