    Ubiquity is also one, no?

    He is basically right.

    Apple has upped the ante on the technological side but not really brought anything new. It's just souped up what was already out there, and along with it, the price, and wrapped it up nicely with some extra touches. 

    That said, the finesse is appreciable and also desirable because it reduces a lot of pain points. There is a lot to like (pricing aside). 

    I'm not sure why there was so much sofa sitting footage in the keynote and hope that more options are just as possible.

    You can't fight off a Sith sitting on your sofa!

    What Zuckerberg has to understand is that my wife was happy with her Quest and itching to upgrade. That got knocked on the head as soon as Meta made a Facebook account a requirement. That was when we abandoned our plans to upgrade. If more people feel the same way we do, Meta has a problem. 

    Meta has an image problem that goes far deeper than image. Apple has a big head start over them when it comes to trust. 



    That’s exactly what  has been doing for the past 20 years. Take an already existing idea/device and make it a lot better and they are bloody good at it. They’ve done this with the iPod, iPhone,  watch and now this.

  • Apple's iPhone hardware subscription could arrive by March

    alpacatjealpacatje
    I guess the subscription will not only be for the iPhone. But for the complete package. Meaning: iPhone, iCloud+,appletv+,Apple Music, etc. 

    I saw a article about this a few years ago. Something like paying $100/month for the complete package of services + iPhone. 
    I must admit, as a private user a would be completely against. However since 2 years i have my own company and would definitely take this option if it would be possible.

    It is not a price hike. Everything in US is getting more expensive. Gas price is $6/gallon. This is more than 6% higher than last year. LOL
    Only 6? In europe it’s far over 100% since lat year

  • YouTuber wrecks car to test iPhone 14 crash detection

    Essentially useless features as in modern cars (at least in the EU) it's been a legal requirement, that they call emergency services after the crash is detected. Together with the essentially useless satellite emergency call (at least outside US), this years iPhone introduction was quite useless.

    It’s a legal requirement for new cars since 2018. There are a lot more cars from before 2018, so not so unuseful after all.
