  • 'The Morning Show' wins Apple TV+ its first Emmy

    I think it’s probably more to do with the fact that the morning show, along with the rest of AppleTV+ content, was and is a bit meh.  They were never going to be Netflix overnight no matter how much money they threw around, and sure enough the service is still very far behind the competition.  And I say this as someone who, inexplicably, still pays a sub to watch it.

  • Compared: Apple Watch Series 6 versus Apple Watch SE versus Apple Watch Series 5

    The SE seems more like a slightly tweaked and warmed over S4 than anything else.  It loses the ECG and gains a compass, and that’s about it - same display, chip, and everything else.

  • iPhones could detect when drivers have had too much to drink

    If you’re too drunk to drive (but intending to do it anyway) I suspect you’ll be too drunk to take orders from your phone when it tries to warn you, also.

    People with any sense won’t wait until their phone detects this, they wont be drinking if they’re driving in the first place.

  • Touch ID comeback for 'iPhone 12' rumors resurface

    neilm said:
    With Touch ID on my 10.5" iPad Pro and Face ID on my iPhone XS, both in use many times a day, I've found Face ID to be quicker and more reliable. I wouldn't want to go back. 
    Same here (although XR rather than XS), the experience with Face ID on the phone is so much more fluid and fast than the iPad.  It’s especially noticeable when authenticating within apps or for unlocking passwords in safari etc, on the phone it just happens as part of the flow of using the device, whereas on the iPad it always means stopping and repositioning your thumb.

    Face ID is also much more reliable.  Touch ID is much more prone to failure due to poor positioning of the finger, surface debris or liquids, changes to skin condition etc etc.. Face ID just works every time.

    If there’s a way to have both, great, that’ll keep everyone happy I guess - but losing Face ID for a return to Touch ID would be a totally backwards step
    in my opinion.  Even if under-screen Touch ID is the only way to have a completely uninterrupted display, I’d much rather keep Face ID with the notch.

  • Unsurprisingly, a 2020 iPad Pro will bend if you try to break it

    I’m not sure if this site was always AppleApologist and I just didn’t notice so much to start with, or what.  I don’t even need to see the video (and I haven’t) to know that iPad Pros are weaker than they used to be, and weaker than they should be, to function as the go-anywhere, Chuck-in-a-backpack tablet they were originally intended as.  It’s not just a question of materials either, the current design is just fundamentally less strong and far more prone to flex.  

    Apple should be called out on that.  They should be called out on a bad design which functions less well than it’s predecessors and will be an expensive disappointment for some of its customers.  And when they launch another new iPad generation with the same design flaw and the same weakness, they deserve to be called out on it again, and for more YouTubers to make these same videos pointing it out.  

    Apple should do better.  So should AppleInsider.
