  • Pregnant cardiologist says Apple Watch saved her and her baby

    The lady is a cardiologist. She did not need an Apple Watch to tell her that she was tachycardic.
    Besides, her symptoms (feeling tired, short of breath) , which began 15-weeks earlier, should have prompted her to seek medical attention much earlier.

    What the Apple Watch did was to point out her lack of insight into her own health status.
    A Pediatric Cardiologist - she likely hasn't had to deal with heart issue in pregnant patients because, you know, her patients are children.

    Still, I agree - 15 weeks is a long time to not discuss with her maternity care provider.

    It's on the product page, scroll down to Specs & Size and open the Weights & Dimensions section.

  • Mac Studio storage upgraded by hardware hacker, but don't expect a retail kit soon

    As dosdude1 shows, that's misinformation that Apple did nothing to dispel.

    This guy is GOOD at what he does.  He's the guy who enabled unsupported installs of Mac OS X 10.12 through 10.15, he's the guy who figured out how to bypass the failing GPU chips on 2011 MacBook Pros, he's done a lot of good for the Mac community.

    I'll go so far as to say Appleinsider is WRONG, and you absolutely SHOULD "go down this road" to perform what is actually a near-ZERO risk procedure on a Mac Studio.  Dosdude1 is going to be selling pre-populated SSD modules in the future.  It'll be almost as easy as changing a NVMe SSD.  Expect a retail kit soon.
    How was it misinformation? That's the way it was until now.

    Don't forget a DFU restore is needed - I'm not sure that makes it retail friendly.

  • Customers can now extend AppleCare+ up to 45 days after it expires

    mknelsonmknelson
    Has anybody figured out the extension time limit? The T&C mentions "until cancelled" but I have to think you can only extend AppleCare+ until the computer goes Vintage. I can't find that listed explicitly.

  • Apple grants US developers the same NFC features it was forced to provide in Europe

    mknelsonmknelson
    That only makes sense - having API features in some countries and not others wouldn't be good for developers and would confuse consumers.
