Rumor roundup: iPhone 17 Pro's camera resolutions and layouts
If Apple want's bloggers to use their devices more for video... then they need to focus more on audio. They need to integrate more with wireless microphones and perhaps even create their own wireless microphone system. Having a single USB-C port is a huge limiting factor. Can't run a mic to the phone when one has to use the sole port to offload video to external storage.

Apple turns off data protection in the UK rather than comply with backdoor mandate
The point remains that you can't have a "secure" backdoor that's only open to certain people. It's impossible to make. So sooner or later it will be compromised and abused and then everyone is screwed.Scot1 said:I’m not a lawyer, of course, but what’s the difference between getting a court ordered warrant to enter someone’s home or workplace if they are under investigation for bad acts against the population or the government and doing the same thing to investigate same on someone’s phone?How do you find a balance between keeping people safe and respecting the rights of the individual?

iPhone 16e vs iPhone 16: A new Apple Intelligence-powered entry-level option
A couple of dozen? Let's not get too carried away here...randominternetperson said:Good summary, but I wouldn't say $200 or 33% more is "slightly more expensive."
You could buy a couple of dozen eggs with the savings of going with the 16e!

Humane's AI Pin is no more and owners are left with nothing
Makes me wonder if it ever had a future as a "smart" walkie-talkie at a work site. Taps, badge, "Tell Johnson we need more cement."DAalseth said:The biggest problem was that they did model it off of the Communicator badge in Star Trek: The Next Generation. That worked very well as an expository plot device. Riker taps communicator, “Enterprise, we just encountered X, Y, and Z, and we’re going to need to do A, B and C”. It worked great as a tool to let the audience know what was going on. What it isn’t is a good way to find your Proctologist’s office without shouting that to the world. At least an iPhone CAN be used quietly.
No this was a bad idea that ended badly.
