    This isn’t about politics.  Remember jailbreaks? Without jailbreaks we wouldn’t have many inventions that Apple copied and have been a huge part of the iPhone for quite some time. Take control center or music starting automatically when connected to Bluetooth. I had these using an iPhone 3GS. Plus I could run my phone 📞 n TMobile which was not available at the time and was less then half the amount of ATT.  
    Repeat after me “every function that was available by jailbreaking used APIs that Apple had not exposed as yet”

    how can Apple copy their own work?

  • Apple's Eddy Cue is guessing that the iPhone will eventually be replaced by AI

    Pretty clearly the iPhone and iPad will both be replaced by light weight AI powered XR glasses. The challenge is to get them to a usable weight and affordable price. Affordable enough people can have multiple pairs. Sunglasses, reading glasses, etc.

    Why do you need a separate phone if your glasses can display the apps?

    AI needs to see what you see and give you real time feedback. I used ChatGPT on the phone the other day to help me figure out how to do something. It was a pain to make sure it was always pointed where I was looking, at one point I had to set the phone down to proceed so the AI couldn't even see what I was doing anymore. Glasses solves all of that.

    Apple is absurdly behind in AI. They need to fix that before they get disrupted. 

    Multiple companies are working hard to disrupt them. Google, OpenAI, Meta, xAI, etc.


    Not one of these brands has market trust, the disruption will come from a new player.

    He does realize that the AI will have to run on some type of device? It isn’t just going to run on the air.
    Well it currently runs on the cloud, so…
    Apple seems to be laying ground work for following their standard business model. Which is make tech approachable, trustworthy and personable so people buy the hardware dongle to that tech.

    They seem to want to get to a point where we have a Dragon with us being our mythical AI assistant that knows us well without overstepping the creepy boundaries. While cloud supported they want to push hard use the local processing power to improve the trust in the system. Even maybe pushing a personal cluster further so your watch/pods case might be running your tuned speech model while. Your slate/pad device runs image generation or other industry specific models.

    People use phones to read, play games, watch videos, take photos and videos, and more. 

    Until there's a replacement for the screen, the iPhone will still be around.

    And for those looking forward to implants, may I direct you to S07E01 of Black Mirror?
    But that doesn’t need to be a screen that is with you in hand like an iphone
    a lot of people could abandon their iPhones now and move functionality to others devices if they have in the kit.  The handbrake on that seems to be that the watch to replace adhoc voice calls and ready notifications has to be linked to a phone that can at least support the current os to keep the watch current. 

    Not all people but not all devices will ever suit all people and the iPhone seems to be only required part of the ecosystem as it stands.

  • New report contradicts Tim Cook's remarks about iPhone panic buying

    Tim Cook has details about when/where every iPhone was sold and access to amazing data analysis tools.
    He **can't** lie about this. He has a fiduciary duty to the shareholders and he could be sued for giving false or misleading information.
    All he would need to show is a similar uptick in sales to people with older phones in a single country not affected by tariffchanges. Then any case someone might try and bring is facing an up hill battle.
