  • Apple's iPhone 17 Slim is a wrongheaded approach that ignores what people really want

    It’s refreshing to see an AppleInsider writer who isn’t afraid to strongly present an argument that the majority may not agree with. And no, I’m not implying that other AppleInsider journalists are all towing the same party line either. I’m saying that they all have a voice and as a reader it’s still up to me to consider others’ perspectives to form my own opinion.  It’s also fine in this commentary forum for me to present my opinion, which is exactly what the author of this article has done and what most of the commenters have also done. It’s a good and healthy thing, as long as it doesn’t degrade to ad hominem negativity.

    For the record, I hate the camera bumps. It seems ridiculous that a device designed for reading content on a screen can’t lay flat on a hard surface. It’s like having one 26” wheel on a car that has three other 19” wheel or one leg of a sofa 6” taller than the other legs. Being level is a naturally appealing attribute for utilitarian and functional tools. Wobbly stuff feels cheap and malformed, or in gentler terms, wonky. 
    But it's not an argument. It's just a rant with no evidence and no consideration for the contrary. That's not refreshing at all.

    Quite surprised by this one-sided strong take. I've consistently seen complaints that iPhones are too thick and heavy, especially since the 14 Pro, and requests for smaller and lighter phones, like the equivalent of a iPad mini or a better SE. And many would sacrifice a bit of battery life for it. Definitely not the majority, but there is a market for it. Such a one-sided take seems out of touch especially from a professional tech writer.

  • Friend is the creepy and dystopian iPhone accessory that might just work

    Why are even tech people so faint hearted as to find everything "creepy"? I see this word come up a lot in similar contexts. One might have no use for this product but it is far from creepy. This is nothing.

  • Another Find My misfire led to a raid on a suburban family's home

    "The chaotic incident at Brittany Shamily's home stemmed from a flawed search warrant based on inaccurate tracking of stolen AirPods."

    More like flawed interpretation of very accurate tracking of AirPods. 

    The article title could be taken as saying the device was at fault but it was the police's use of the information at fault. 

    Wish they would learn from multiple similar incidents?

  • Apple isn't behind on AI, it's looking ahead to the future of smartphones

    At best you can say that Apple is behind but it is attempting to catch up by looking to the future. But if it fails to do that, then it will remain behind. Way behind.
