  • Apple calls 128GB 'lots of storage' in new iPhone 15 ad

    JinTechJinTech
    Where in the ad does it mention this is the iPhone 15 with 128 GB? For all we know it could be the 512 GB model. Plus, if you use iCloud then you could potentially have even more storage.

    That politicians $uck is common knowledge. However, I don’t really care. I won’t be buying those apps anyway, - as I rarely buy any. I don’t live in a smartphone. 
    In the EU world most of the apps on smartphones aren't paid for not with Google and Meta around......There will be no pot of gold for most of the small developers.

    Epic had their online store on Android and it was a spectacular failure. No one trusts them, support from a few people online won't change that.

    One that will change Xcode and many other pieces of Apple developer software in time will start to cost money up front like AutoDesk/Adobe for anyone who wants to develop for MacOS, iOS, iPadOS, VisionOS, and WatchOS. 



    Apple already once charged for their developer tools. I believe Apple will keep them free just to show that they are the friendlier player here.

    Yes it will be a security disaster of the EUs own making. You will get exactly the malware situation that exists on non-iOS platforms. Apparently the EU commission neither understand nor care.

    It's not just EU citizens who will lose someone will workout how to make the hooks to install stuff work on phones outside the EU and we'll have a wave of malware based on that.

    Apple should have pulled out of the EU entirely rather than cave to a law essentially written specifically to destroy Apple's business model.
    When viruses and malware start making their way onto iPhones in the EU Apple can say "see, this is what you get when you have an open platform." Hopefully, the EU will then reverse its course. I think the reason why we didn't see a huge fanfare about all this from Apple and hold some kind of mini developer PR event is because they know that this measure is semi-temporary.

  • M3 MacBook Air review: The ideal Mac laptop for Intel hold-outs

    I have the Early 2020 Intel i3 and am ready to make the upgrade. I use it for work, video editing and also DJ using Serato DJ Pro so some extra power will be welcome. Wondering anyone's thoughts on getting the M2 with upgraded RAM to 16gb or going with the M3 with the 8gb standard RAM.
    I'd highly recommend not going with 8 GB. I thought that would be enough with the M1 Air model and I am constantly running out of memory and I only have four or five apps open at a time, granted I also like to have a lot of tabs open in Safari. My M1 Pro Max with 64 GB just screams and never seems to run out of memory.

  • New M3 MacBook Air arrives with faster Wi-Fi and better performance

    Hilarious that the 'new' MacBook Air with the same M3 chip as the MacBook Pro now supports two external displays when the lid is closed, but the M3 MacBook Pro can only support one external display.  Meanwhile, all Intel MacBooks can support two external displays with the lid open, for 3 displays.  Way to go Apple.  And still extortion prices for RAM and SSD upgrades.  Maybe Apple is listening to all the complaints to restore a popular feature that they took away when they introduced Apple Silicon.  
    Apparently the Air will be able to do this via software update so I’m sure this will apply to the Pro as well.
