  • Quanta rumored to build 3rd-gen Apple Watch, with extended battery and better speed

    I hope this is BS. Another year of mostly incremental changes to Apple Watch is no good. If all we're getting is a new SiP and watchOS 4 Apple might as well not release a new watch this year. 
    Give me a break. Apple has no reason to hold back - they're moving as fast as the technology (and regulation) will allow them. Also even if we are to believe these are the only changes (which I'm skeptical of) I suspect that many current and prospective Apple Watch owners would be happy to buy a Watch with improved battery and processing performance.

  • Rumor: Apple to release iOS 10.3 beta with 'Theater mode' in January

    it's been suggested that theater mode is a type of dark mode. I interpret this as a dark interface option.

    We're assuming a theater mode, specific to iPad (a device most use at home) is some type of anti-distraction feature for theaters? That seems like an absurd conclusion.

    A highly questionable rumor on Friday claims Apple is preparing the first beta release of iOS 10.3, thought by some to be an iPad-centric update, in early January with a new device mode called "Theater."

    Without citing a source, avid Apple hardware leaker Sonny Dickson in a pair of tweets on Friday said the upcoming beta's so-called Theater mode will be accessible via a "popcorn-shaped" icon in Control Center.

    Gotta love this... So some unknown shlep sends out some anonymous Tweets, doesn't cite a source of any kind to backup his claims, and news sites begin picking it up and re-distributing it on mass, as if it's a real news piece???

    And I don't care if you say Ai cites it in the story or not, this should NEVER even be published, unless a source of the claim can be ascertained, and the claim at least traced back to the original source. This is just another Tweeting bozo looking for 5 minutes of fame by spreading fake news, which, I'm sure most Millennial's, will fall for.

    Sonny Dickson is hardly some unknown schlep. He's fairly known as a blogger who leaks upcoming Apple mobile hardware, usually with actual pieces or operating devices.

    I am sure all these companies are dropping this as Tesla have already got self driving cars. And tesla will give it away for free so why bother competing and spending money on rnd
    Because Tesla will run out of money, be bought out, or driven into the ground by competition. They sell less than 50k cars a year, all at a substantial loss. The model 3 is already a year behind schedule. And traditional automakers will beat them to the punch with mass market EVs. Telsa for all its bluster is still a small fish.
