  • Samsung Galaxy Ultra Watch copies everything except Apple's durability and customer servic...

    Apple doesn’t cover accidental damage either under their basic warranty no matter how new the product is. For accidental damage to be covered you have to purchase Apple Care+.

  • Spatial Video recording for iPhone 15 Pro introduced in iOS 17.2 beta 2

    Videos are shot in 1080p, and Apple says that they will take about 130 megabytes per minute of video -- which is about 40% more than it takes for a minute of non-3D 1080p video. The files are stored in what Apple calls "Apple HEVC Stereo Video" format, with the "hvc1" codec. 

    The camera settings app on my iPhone 15 Pro Max states that 1080p HD at 30 fps uses about 65 MB per minute of video, so the spatial video recording using 130 MB per minute of video recording would exactly double the file size (which makes sense since it's recording data from two cameras). Not sure why the article states that it only increases the file size by 40%.

  • Hands on: Twelve South Backpack shelf for Studio Display

    It’s probably worth noting that this only fits the Studio Display with the tilt-adjustable stand. It will not work with the tilt & height-adjustable stand.

  • Apple's 2023 CarPlay is an Apple Car preview - and is scaring Detroit

    Has anyone yet considered the possibility that this new CarPlay IS the "apple car" project?

  • NYC subway commuters get creative rescuing AirPods dropped on tracks

    Another huge failure for Apple. So where are the Samsung ads making fun of AirPod users?
    C'mon man.  Give the persecution complex a rest for at least one thread.   Sweet Jeebus.

    On topic:  If Munster has lost 10 pair and a charging case, the issue is Munster more so than the AirPod.  He needs to invest in those cheap straps.


    Oh, so you’re saying that Apple is not the target of unceasing, malicious persecution from battalions of tech and financial writers who twist, spin, and mold everything Apple into a negative just to get clicks? 
    No, what I'm asking is for you to give it rest... at least for a single thread.  I thought that was pretty clear.  You enter almost every thread with the same woe is me tale of someone attacking the precious.  You never contribute positively to any thread you enter.  No general knowledge, no interesting anecdote, no humorous aside, no perfectly timed "well actually" [pushes up glasses] - who doesn't like to correct their fellow man, no hmmm, I did not know that... nothing except the same tired refrain of OMG somebody somewhere at some point said something about Apple that wasn't 100% flattering.  

    Take this article for instance.  There's nothing in it disparaging Apple or the AirPods.  It's simple a collection of anecdotal tidbits about the tribulations of using AirPods in the crowded NYC subway system with a bonus splash of Gene Munster weirdness.  Nothing connected to this article even suggests a failure by Apple.  Yet you've found a way to make the claim. Why? And yes, I am saying Apple is not the target of unceasing malicious persecution.  That's nothing more that excessive hyperbole.  Are there articles written that are negative about Apple?  Yeah sure there are.  Criticize them until the cows come home. But grinding every thread with the somebody's picking on Apple meme... that's an lkrupp thing, not an Apple thing.  Even in comments where you're trying to compliment Apple you can't seem to stop yourself from taking a dig at some perceived slight from some imaginary foe.  By all means, you do you.  Just sayin', some new material every now and then would be really appreciated.
    THANK YOU so much for clearly and concisely writing what I think every time I see that user post a comment. It is painfully exhausting reading that person’s constant negativity on EVERY thread that they post in. It really goes a long way towards making the comments section on this site quite an unfriendly and toxic environment.
