Nvidia working with Apple on graphics for 'revolutionary' new Mac products
SpamSandwich said:I'd love to see a return of the hardware to the base of the iMac (which could be as thin as a MacBook Pro and a razor thin display take the place of the current design. Moving the hardware back to the base would also give it more stability. Wireless charging is a possibility also, but I'd not bet on that part. -
Apple's health hires geared towards sharing, interpreting data, including new Watch apps
TomE said:Apple Health is the future. It is now. Apple is missing the boat.
We need this fast.
I have been using the Health App since shortly after it came out.
It is not perfect. I could not easily print the data, show or give it to my MD's. Lacking these basic functions. Should be able to export it to FileMaker, Excel or Numbers with a click not a "magic act". I need the sleep data. There are millions of people who have sleep difficulties that the watch could assist with , but the battery does not last long enough to go over night without a recharge.
Like how hard is it to do this from the Mac, iPad or Phone - it is not.
It would be useful to add some other data points - user defined.
Example: When I check by BP, I get the heart rate automatically. I need a 3rd field for heart rate when I check my BP.
Who is doing this work ? Apparently they quit or were fired and the new people are confused and not very good at this.
The Health App has recently changed and it is not a change for the better. It is much more difficult to use. I don't care it they offer an option to group the data into several areas, but it does not make sense for me or my MD's. This is complete waste of time to a user what has been done. Don't force these groupings on me or the MD's.
I have already selected what I wanted to show in the "dashboard" and now it has been rearranged and requires more "taps" to find what I want. I am not a happy camper. Mac User since before 1984. Obviously who ever "rev'ed" it last, doesn't have a need to use the app. My MD's want to see everything I have selected and been tracking - not to have to watch me fiddle around looking for a complete list. It is like the new Coke machines - they slow down the dispensing of the product. 3-4 clicks to select a Raspberry Coke. Once I got used to it, Coke marketing (idiots) changed the programing of the machine. Not an Improvement Coke - Read this Apple - Keep it simple. Make it work fast.
Suggestion: Read my first paragraph closely , also, someone needs to make it easy to integrate the other step trackers' data, i.e., fitbit. I am going to get an Apple Watch, but darn, how hard is it to do this ? Not very hard.

as for sleep...the AW can and does make it overnight. more, what's stopping you from charging as you get ready for bed?
yeah more fun to complain. -

KGI: iPhone 7 won't sell as well as the iPhone 6s
revenant said:artificial scarcity- as in Apple did it on purpose to make it seem like it sold out fast?
I know diamonds have an artificial scarcity- I doubt apple is doing that. -
KGI: iPhone 7 won't sell as well as the iPhone 6s
netrox said:I compared the camera quality between 7 and 6s (not Plus series) and have found that 6S is far much better with selfie. I mean way much better. iPhone 7 is actually a step backward in camera quality. I found image quality to be worse on 7. Consumer Reports said that they couldn't find improvements over 6S... but I can say that from my examination of both devices that 7 is significantly worse.
The home button on 7 feels weird. 6s feels more natural.
Definitely not recommending 7 to anyone... I'd just tell them to get 6s.
the cameras are better. and the new home button is neat, the haptic feedback doesn't bother me at all (i prefer it set to level 1). def worth the water resistance.
