  • Apple's October Mac event or release plans still aren't clear

    If they have stock ready to roll out why not just have watch parties as a vip store events.

    Apple needs a few hits to help us forget the duds. 
    So which part of Apple Car, a fantasy product that only exists in your mind, are you having the hardest time forgetting? Me, I love the fact that Cook invested in research, saw there was no profitable way forward for an actual product, and shut down the project. That's the kind of smart leadership that has allowed him to create the most successful Apple that has ever existed by all relevant metrics. 

    Apple Vision Pro was first delivered to users just 36 weeks ago. Meta is STILL losing $1 billion a month on Quest after 10 years of trying to make it successful. Now THAT'S a dud. Come back in 10 years and we can talk about Vision Pro.

    iPhone 16: It's the same story every year. A month or so after the new iPhone drops, the Apple-is-doomed crowd is out saying that sales are a disaster. Yawn. Maybe someday it'll be true, right? So how are investors feeling about iPhone 16? You know, the people who actually put their money behind their researched opinions and don't just pop off as the peanut gallery on a message board. Well, investors have bid up Apple's share price to its current all-time high since the iPhone 16 launched. This year will be more of what it always is as we learn that iPhone 16 sales are doing just fine. 
    Tim was asked about Vision Pro in the article, which isn’t widely requoted by the Apple focused sites unless they spin it as a failure even though he clearly says it did the intended job.

    "At $3,500, it's not a mass-market product," said Cook. "Right now, it's an early-adopter product. People who want to have tomorrow's technology today—that's who it's for. Fortunately, there's enough people who are in that camp that it's exciting."

    Wouldn’t such a call if it happened and was initiated by the CEO of most companies be a breach the duties of the roll?

  • Scammers use AI to create scarily convincing phishing calls

    I thought this was already a thing but then again an AI would not get frustrated enough for swearing and racism.
