  • One of these three Apple executives will probably be Tim Cook's replacement

    Which executive gets Apple back to innovating instead of playing catchup? 
    Ok, I'll bite. How is Apple not innovating today? How is it playing catchup? 

    Cook has done wonders for the company, like it or not, and the call for the mythical "product focused CEO" is just silly. Any replacement to Cook will have pros and cons. There's always the chance we get someone we've never even heard of.
    Apple used to invent product categories now it’s playing catchup with product categories that have been released for years by other companies such as with the Apple Vision Pro and iPhone Fold. 
    Are you under the impression that Apple invented the personal computer, portable MP3 player, tablet, smartphone, home streaming box, or VR headset? They invented none of those things, simply innovated existing products to be simple and more useful in everyday life, which made regular people want them over tech-savvy nerds who had the technical knowledge to make them work. MAYBE VisionPro is a flop, but that’s yet to be seen. Remember the iPhone was an $800 unsubsidized phone with little capability when it first launched. Too expensive for 90% of the population, much like VisionPro.

  • What the iPhone 17 Pro and IPhone 17 Pro Max will look like

    If the orange ends up looking like the rendering in real life, I’m 100% on board with that color.

  • Unsurprisingly, iPhone 17 rumored to come in four colors including blue

    I know it will never happen, but I’d love to see an orange iPhone Pro. Just as long as it’s not that peachy color Apple tried to pass off as orange on the AirPods Max. I’m talking HomePod Mini orange.

  • iPhone fold display when open rumored to retain a familiar aspect ratio

    What if this thing doesn’t ‘fold’ in the traditional way we think it would? We’re all assuming it’s one large screen that folds in the middle, possibly creating a crease. Could it be two separate displays that come together to create one large display? (And forgive my lack of industrial design knowledge here) In order to close or fold the phone, you’d pull apart at the middle about 1mm to separate the two displays connected by a Smart Connector, thus exposing a small hinge mechanism tucked behind the display that would allow you to fold the device. Opening it back up is like a book, then you push the two displays together to connect them via the Smart Connector and voila! I worry about a bezel in the middle of the open display, which may kill the whole idea, but its certainly possible to get that to be razor thin…

    I dunno. Just thinking outside the box on how this could possibly work.



    You mean like the Microsoft Duo?
    Yes. I knew someone had to have already done something like what I was picturing in my head.
