  • Apple brings hearing tests to AirPods Pro 2 in France but holds back key feature

    I understand that Apple cannot fully promote this feature as the hearing aid before they are granted the approval. And they for sure want to give it the full ‘medical grade’ vibe. But having it accessible without this and than only say - and now approved it is medical grade - would for sure harm no one and help many…

  • EU's latest demand on Apple about geolocking is unforgivably naive

    Some things are given how Europe works - movies, music are licensed as per country - various labels, distributors etc… so it depends on the content provider - Apple Music, Netflix - what kind of license they buy.
    But for apps, some things can be really stupid. Take Lidl Plus app - you can switch withing the app to various countries they operate, agree with their local conditions and you can use it - Czech republic, Slovakia, Germany, Italy, Spain… So far so good.
    But McDonald’s app - when you try to change the country eg from Czech republic to Germany, the app says - you cannot use this app, you need to download McDonald’s Germany app… with a link to the store. But because your Apple Account is CZ, the German store says that you cannot download the German app. And now who’s fault is that? Apple’s, because they allow the regional limitations in the store? Or McDonald’s because they decided to limit their German app just to Germany App Store? I never understood this and find it confusing.
    Just curious about other people’s point of view about this…

  • MacBook Pro line could get a major redesign in 2026 for 20th anniversary

    I hate to be that guy, but actually the first Mac to have a backlit keyboard was the original 17” PowerBook G4, released in 2003.
    Indeed, but the article is clearly talking about MacBook Pros only. See also the headline and the first sub-headline.
    Well, the given paragraph starts with ‘first Mac notebook’ - so obviously it is talking in that moment about any Mac laptops…

  • Apple's AirPods Pro 2's impressive hearing test launch date confirmed

    AirPods too small as a hearing aid? If i remember what my grandma used to have - case smaller as ring case and the hearing aid itself was the size of a very small bean… no stalks or anything… so i’d say the size may be quite an improvement for somw
