  • Apple Watch remains the best seller as smartwatch market grows

    I’m guessing Samsung’s growth is due to sweeping up the also rans within the Android market.  It’s just shifting of their market share to the leader in that market.  A natural occurrence as the market grows and mature leaders emerge.  
    I agree.
    It also looks like Google is on track to move fitbit to the pages of history. Their market share has almost halved in 12 months.

  • Apple to shoot "Metropolis" in Australia, creating nearly 4,000 jobs

    Deamscreen Australia is the studio it is being filmed in. While their LED Volume is impressive it's a long way short of what Disney use for the Mandalorian. 

    I also found it interesting that Dreamscreen received a grant from Epic.

  • Fans slam Apple TV+ 'Friday Night Baseball' stream outages, commentary team

    I didn’t have any streaming issues other than the picture quality being a bit poor for the first 5 mins. After that it was smooth sailing. I agree that the commentary team wasn’t the greatest. But they certainly weren’t the worst commentary team I have had to endure.

  • Apple TV+ dark comedy 'Physical' season two premieres June 3

    “Dark comedy” is usually a euphemism for something that is not only not funny, but also a depression fest. I’ll pass.
    I don't think your Dead Pool avatar suites your comment.  :D

    I don't really think the term "Dark Comedy" suits this show though. Yes there were a few laughs but it's really more a drama. I really enjoyed it but if you're looking for a comedy then this wouldn't be the show for you.

  • Nine years after launch, Tile adds anti-stalking features that AirTag had from the start

    I've never tried Tile, but am rather disappointed with Apple AirTags.  You can't connect one tag to multiple phones.  That makes things very awkward, with any shared item yielding endless "You are being stalked" warnings.  Also, going into a store yields a "lost contact with your car" warning.  That would make sense if the car was moving, but it just happens every time.
    Lucky you didn't waste any money on Tile devices. I had a few and they were not much better than useless. Not enough users with the app to create a decent network. So could only find an item if your phone was nearby to it. 

    AirTags could still do with some improvements but that has already been happening at a much faster rate than Tile. 

    FYI: You can simply select not to receive notifications from specific AirTags about the travelling with you when it pops up on your iPhone. So if a family members AirTag triggers that notification on your iPhone you can easily stop it from appearing again. So those notifications are certainly not endless. But for other reasons it would be great if AirTags worked similar to Family Sharing so that every member of the household could find lost items. 

    Not sure why you would be getting the "this item has been left behind" message for your car. I have an AirTag on my dog's collar and get that message if I have taken him away from home and he gets too far away from me, but never get that message when I leave home without him. I also have an Airtag in my car and on my key-chain and never get the item left behind for either of those under any circumstances. So seems their is an issue with the way your Airtags are functioning which would get very annoying. But I'm sure there would be a way to fix it by resetting them, searching for a solution online or contacting Apple. It's certainly not normal behaviour.
