  • Video: 'Hey Siri' might come to the iMac Pro thanks to an A10 Fusion coprocessor

    How many pro creatives actually may find SIRI of use? Liberal arts connected dots redefined...?
    I’m a pro user and if Apple can eliminate clicks that’s good for everyone.

    Sometimes we need to look up certain functions and techniques for movie creation etc. If Siri were smarter this would be extremely helpful.

    Convenient for hands-free command. Now if only Apple would upgrade Siri's understanding.

  • Mockups envision 'iPhone X Plus' and 'iPhone SE 2' with edge to edge displays, Face ID

    If I ran the world, the Plus sized iPhone with the X design would just be a wider version of the current "medium" sized X as the display has already gotten crazy big and these super long aspect ratios are kind of silly. Then make the small variant just a current X only about 1.5" shorter, but with the same width-- resulting in an iPhone almost the same size as the original, and just as one-handable, but with way more display. I can dream anyhow.
    A few weeks ago here I commented how a iPhone 2G sized X would work well and feel great in the hand.

    I would take it further and release a bezel-less iPod Nano with its own OS for games, Apple Music, AR, book narration and more. This would be a gigantic holiday hit for Kids(Think Wii or Tickle Me Elmo x10) but apple decided they were done, sadly.

    Not much of a mock up.  The notch shouldn't get any bigger or smaller on other phones: they'll use exactly the same sensors.  So it should be less noticeable on the Plus, not more.

    I’m pretty sure there’s an iPad X mock-up with a huge notch somewhere.

  • Apple said to downsize Micro LED R&D in Taiwan, may be shifting focus to US

    Truth is OLED has always sucked. It was a tech that got lucky and had competition fail before launch.

    Canon had better display technology in 2006 but got caught in an IP battle and the tech stopped advancing. Other display tech didn’t have the backing of big companies like Sony even if the tech was better. Laser displays I believe couldn’t be scaled down in size. OLED compared unfavorably to these dead displays. 

    So it doesn’t surprise me that Apple is bringing better technology to the masses.

    I want an X SE like that.
    Not iPhone SE X as that would cause a media circus.

    I don’t see the point in having one model designed different than the rest. If Apple can release the whole line in one simple design that would be great.
    No LCD model or other fragmented crap.

    Wishful Thinking:
    iPhone XS
    NEW iPhone X
    iPhone XL
    Now with smaller notch and FaceID 2.

    iPhone X

    That's it. 4 models available from Apple in 2018. XS would keep the SE price as the budget model and XL would potentially push ASP even higher for Apple.
