  • Apple's ultra-thin OLED iPad Pro fails to spark sales surge

    leehericksleehericks
    The new iPad Pro is a phenomenal piece of hardware but as many say the software is limiting.

    Honestly I think there should only be an iPad, iPad mini and something at the iPad Air price level. Too many models and pro products have gotten really expensive lately. 

    Really the storage upgrade prices are the worst part.

  • iMac could have been made without a chin, proves new hack

    leehericksleehericks
    I don’t mind the chin but I hate it as it is. 
    My dad wouldn’t get an iMac because he disliked the pastel colors. The logo is gone. It’s bland.

  • Apple's 15-inch MacBook Air: Rumors, and what to expect

    leehericksleehericks
    MacBook Air was called Air because it was significantly thinner than laptops of the time.

    We don’t need an Air moniker anymore.

    Just a MacBook 13/15 and MacBook Pro 14/16

    I don’t know why we couldn’t just get the two sizes with the screen size as the main differentiator…

  • Apple uses Messages colors to bully Android users, says Google

    leehericksleehericks
    iMessage has been unchanged since it debuted and colors were necessary for mixing SMS with a modern message service.

    There is no Apple campaign promoting blue bubbles  :D

    so silly.

  • Internal Apple memo addresses public concern over new child protection features

    Um, how do they look at the pixels if they don't examine the image? Do you have any idea how this technology even works? It doesn't appear so. To look at the pixels compare them to pixels in reference images, they must open both images. If they are opening the image and reading the pixels, then they are examining personal pictures.

    To explain this quickly, this “scanning applies only (for now) to photos before they are uploaded to iCloud Photos. If you don’t use iCloud Photos, then this will never happen (for now).

    Your device scans your photos and calculates a photo “fingerprint” ON YOUR DEVICE. It downloads fingerprints of bad materials and checks ON YOUR DEVICE. 

    If by some chance you had a match, it would put a kind of safety token with the media while uploading it to iCloud Photos. If you reach some number of safety tokens someone will be tasked with checking up on your media (presumably in a very secure way which logs everything they do during the check).

    The big question is who creates/validates the media fingerprints that get compared. Example “what if” concerns include a government like China giving Apple fingerprints for anti-government images.
