    The EU is terrible.
    They regulate everything out to oblivion. 
    Either start voting or stop complaining.

  • New iPad Pro rumored to debut with M4 chip

    nubusnubus
    It doesn't make sense to ship any AI product before WWDC. There is no new iPadOS/AI to make use of that new AI power.
    Even worse for Air as it will be obsolete on arrival.

    Launching M4 now will make MBA M3 "the last student computer without AI". It is, but Apple shouldn't put back-to-school sales at risk.
    Same for iPhone. We're 4-5 months from next gen. No way that Apple will go full Osborne and kill all shipping products now without new products.

    WWDC should be XCode AI + frameworks using very limited memory + the message that everything is possible with 18 TOPS and 6-8 GB as that is A16/M3.
    A18/A18 Pro/M4 can deliver a new level of performance but iPhone has to be first.

  • Apple said to have restarted discussion for OpenAI integration into iOS 18

    Musk sent Apple into 10 years of "we must also do a car", and the fear of Zuckerberg convinced Cook that Apple had to copy Meta and do a headset.
    Now Apple is in full panic due to generative AI. What a mess.

  • New iPad Air & iPad Pro models are coming soon - what to expect

    AppleInsider said:

    The bigger screen may also be quite expensive for consumers too, as a change in size has always been accompanied by a price increase. It'll be cheaper than the Pro equivalent, but probably not as much as people want. 

    MBA M2 15" did push down the price of the MBA 13". I do hope Apple will repeat this and lower the cost of Air.
    Price could go further down if Apple decided to use an A-series chip instead of M-series.

    As for USB C... AirPods Max and iPhone SE are both due for upgrades. If WWDC is the time for AI then perhaps more products will see updates now?

  • Apple's FineWoven case and Apple Watch band lineup may have been cut short

    nubusnubus
    Found a research paper on it. FineWoven is 100% petrol based, and the abrasion test (as measured in Martindale) is a disaster.
    The longevity of the Apple series 14 leather cover is at least 100x higher making FineWoven a terrible product for customers and the planet.

    The concept isn't even original. In 2020 Samsung created covers from used plastic bottles. Quality is on the level of leather. Samsung asked the fabric experts at Kvadrat to design and deliver the upcycled material. Would be nice to see Apple work with experts and test. FineWoven should never have shipped.
