  • Apple hits back at DOJ antitrust suit paragraph by paragraph in scathing response

    Before you whine about the Mango Mussolini's DoJ, remember that this suit is something that was started during a sane administration to give US more rights to the products WE own.

    It doesn't go far enough, we need the right to install whatever software we see fit on OUR devices without Apple's permission or interference.  And while some of the issues have already been resolved, they haven't all been, and they definitely need to be resolved in OUR favor, not Apple's favor.
    You do down load Xcode couple of configurations steps and you can run any code you please. Absolutely anything beyond that will involve somebody’s agreement with you using their copyrighted code in a manner which they deem to offer it.

  • Apple has 18 months to sort out Apple Intelligence

    You have to wonder how they've been so caught out in the AI space, complacency — they thought they were doing enough when in fact they were so far from it. Though I still have an iPhone 16 Pro, I swapped to a Samsung S25 Ultra recently and the AI experience is much better along with other things to — can anyone say autocorrect, as that is still garbage on my iPhone. 18 months? That long hey.
    Are they really “caught out”?
    they have a foundation that they can now adapt to whatever comes and makes it possible for smaller startups to target various markets big and small in a way that drives hardware sales. 

    They don’t have the sizzle but they sure have the steaks.

  • One of these three Apple executives will probably be Tim Cook's replacement

    To me Craig Federighi is the pick. Gives them a tick tock between function vs efficiency without being too far away from either.  Craig is very much the bastion of Apple culture in the current team due to his history with Next. 

    Gives them good scope for the CFO style positions to have the same ability to have a unique public face in order to find the next successor.

  • Iconic 'Trash Can' Mac Pro is now on Apple's vintage products list

    The design was too advanced for Intel chips and regular GPUs. Imagine a cylindrical Mac with an M series chip. Maybe they should release an "Anniversary Edition" with an M4 Max or M5 Pro or Max, or even an M series Ultra chip.
    I’d imagine hacking one to have say an M4max in one side and ryzen Ai max in one neat unit.

  • Apple's design team leadership in flux once again with Jeff Williams retirement

    Retirement later in the year. 
    So how do justify calling it turmoil when it has been planned for and the plan still has time to run. 

    I get you need grabby headlines and Apple to keep business as usual in a country gone mad is likely to turn some people off. 

    I would have thought putting the team directly under the CEO who you think is fairly busy but also sign they are supportive of the next tier of the leadership team to keep things moving along but aren’t ready to name someone as head.  Maybe they want to let a larger team shine move away from “single personality” narratives.
