  • Tantalizing details of Jony Ive's AI device leak after OpenAI meeting

    What exactly about these leaks are “tantalizing?” Thus far I’ve read a bunch of hyperbole and that’s about it.

  • iPhone 17 Air will have design compromises, but also will debut many engineering changes

    I’m not really sure why  is pursuing this? Why is a phone that’s thinner yet again really needed? Does shaving 2mm really make a difference to everyone’s daily usage or are we going back to the old days of ’s aesthetic over function philosophy again? MBP Touchbar 2016-2020 comes to mind. Reduce ports why? Now look at that replacement. People want ports on a pro models not lack of so it can be slightly thinner. Thrash Can Mac is another example? Seriously , I think people would prefer a phone with a bigger battery that lasts longer and would forsake it being an extra 2mm thicker. I’m confused…. Again. 
    I’d like to hear what others think about this. 
    Honestly, I think it's great that Apple is experimenting with different design philosophies for the iPhone. I could see the issue if all the 17-series iPhones had the same (potential, as this is all rumor at this point) design compromises as the 17 Air, but it sounds like the 17 and 17 Pro won't have those compromises.

    install applications directly to an external drive.
    Welcome news, though it’s crazy that this has to be a “new” feature — I could easily install apps on an external SCSI drive on my Mac iisi thirty years ago. 

    Would be nice if iCloud and other services that use the API could use an external drive as a local cache so I can have the files without taking up internal SSD space. That’s something I couldn’t easily do thirty years ago 

    You've always been able to install an application to an external hard drive, this is specifically or Mac App Store apps. And even the, you could always download the app and then move it to an external hard drive.

  • Rare iPhone 4 prototype with 'Death Star' logo surfaces in new video

    noraa1138noraa1138
    While potentially legitimate, the iPhone 4 came out in 2010 and Disney didn’t buy Lucasfilm until 2012. That doesn’t mean Apple wasn’t trying to pretend this was a Star Wars promotional product, just that it wasn’t related to Disney.

  • Is iPhone still cool? Maybe Apple should flip the script

    If Jobs were still here the iPhone would have pioneered the foldable phone. Apple is too complacent these days.
    THat's complete bullish*t. Apple is rarely the first to market on anything, and that was especially true under Jobs. What Apple is fantastic at is brining to market something that may not be new, but is absolutely the best at what it does.

    The PowerBook wasn't the first laptop, but it was the best.
    The iPod wasn't the first MP3 player, but it was the best.
    The iPhone wasn't the first smart phone, but it was the best.
    The iPad wasn't the first table, but it was the best.
    AirPods weren't the first wireless earbuds, but they were the best.

    I could go on and on, but you get the point.
