  • Apple issues iOS 12.4 public release for iPhone and iPad

    So the new wireless iPhone migration process isn't even mention-worthy? Says right in the 12.4 description that it introduces iPhone migration to directly transfer data from an old iPhone to a new one.

  • Editorial: Apple Card invites you to join a premium, private club

    UniqueGuy said:

    Some significant percentage of Apple's vast installed base of affluent users are going to be crushing down substances and cutting lines with it. It appears to be almost perfectly designed for this use. And while that's almost certainly not part of Apple's strategy, it's still inescapable that a lot of people are going to be associating Apple's futuristic, rigid-edged, easily cleanable, flexible titanium premium-status card with partying.
    Frankly, I'm quite disgusted by your suggestion of this use case and find it in very bad taste.  

    Many people would not associate that with anything remotely close to prestige or being in a "premium, private club".   I expect better of DED...

    Please. It's just humor.

    I had a similar idea for an App many years ago (and I'm probably not the first to think of this).

    iCoke.

    Put your cocaine on the screen of your iPhone. Select how high you wanna get and it draws outlines on the screen. Simply fill the outlined area with cocaine and then snort right off your iPhone screen.

    This, too, is obviously a joke.
    Laughed way too hard at that one. Well done man.

  • Apple unveils new AirPods with Wireless Charging Case, 50% more talk time & 'Hey Siri' [u]...

    While these do seem enticing, in Canada these new versions with the wireless charging are just over $300 after taxes. Probably have to stick with the originals for now. I'm a fan of the faster pairing and extended talk time, but with no mentioned audio improvements, the originals are just fine for me at the moment. The W1 is more than fast enough for me and my batteries are still doing quite well. So I guess it's a wait and see for me. 

    As for new releases, I'd love to see AirPower released tomorrow. I'm loving this new stuff everyday. For Friday, maybe the new iPod touch that has been rumoured? That would be a great addition leading up to a special event. Plus, extended press coverage every day of the week doesn't hurt. Could be a new product release strategy being tested by Apple right now.

  • Samsung predicted to ship up to 45M Galaxy S10 units in 2019

    I can totally see the S10 selling well. I’ve been using the 3 new models all week, and for once, I actually like it. Much better than the S9 for sure. The display is extremely impressive and the punch hole is really a non issue, much like the iPhone’s notch. By no means am I an Android buyer, but if I had to choose one to use, it would definitely be the S10+. In Prism White. Very nice in person. So I guess we shall see how it fares starting tomorrow.

    Sounds like the return of the awesomely terrible Newsstand.
