  • New $329 iPad includes support for the Apple Pencil, A10 Fusion processor

    I was hoping for new friction nibs for the Apple Pencil :-/
    Really awesome presentation though. Great spirit. And a massive amount of work going into all of this. Wow. I hope it's being put to good use!

  • Video: 2018 sixth generation iPad with Apple Pencil support for only $329

    Awesome announcements today. The best ever, in many ways. I would've really appreciated an announcement of a new nib for the Apple Pencil though, which introduced friction, and rejected finger grease/ smudges that any iPad screen is covered with through normal use.

  • Apple's Siri history was plagued by infighting, mistakes and developer alienation, report ...

    palegolaspalegolas
    Today Siri still doesn't seem to understand anything. Not even a simple sentence. Even less a sentence referring to another sentence. It still feels like a spoken DOS to me. You need to know the commands, and execute them correctly. Otherwise… error. Also, Siri is very underdeveloped in many other languages than English. Like the intelligence databases are not even available in other languages.

    For me, Siri has not improved in any significant way over the years, other than now sounding better in some languages, and now starting to experiment with translations. This lack of development is kinda leading me to believe that Apple might have been developing a whole new Siri all this time, just trying to keep the current Siri alive not to loose the game completely before the new Siri is ready to go. Weren't there talks of Apple developing a neural network Siri AI like years ago? I'm wondering how it's coming along.

    I'm still hopeful.. But seeing the openness of many interesting Google AI projects, and the "sealed off facility Apple style" is not precisely helping to create a forwardthinking image surrounding Apple's stance on AI.

  • Comparison: iPhone X vs. Galaxy Note 8 video quality

    Always great work with your videos Max!

    The overexposing skin tone highlights of the iPhone is a bummer though. It becomes apparent what could be done, when compared to the Pixel phones.
    Eagerly awaiting if Apple is going to switch sensors to that sensor startup firm they reportedly purchased. They seem to have a film like approach with great dynamic range.

    Since the iPhone X introduced very little improvement in the camera, I can only assume that Apple is actually working hard on a next gem camera that didn’t make it into the X. Of course speculating.
