  • Apple cut too much by removing MagSafe from the iPhone 16e

    OferOfer
    Yeah, the lack of MagSafe is truly perplexing. I understand needing to differentiate between the premium models and the lower end models. But at this point MagSafe has been set up as a default feature across the lineup and many people even with older iPhones have a bunch of accessories that take advantage of it. If the point is to get people who’ve been holding on to older phones to upgrade, this seems like a huge step back.

    Is there a way to just make the thing BIGGER. 
    On my 27” 4K screen it looks like a postage stamp.

    Luckily I can move it to my MacBook Pro’s screen, but that’s doesn’t solve the problem of Apple’s inability to include a method to scale UI elements for higher resolution screens.
    Agreed! How do they not have this scaling capability built-in. I end up using lower, non-native resolutions on my external display because of this

    I do think Apple’s need for control (which I do appreciate) over the entire user experience may play against them in the generative space. Choosing to pick benign objects, shapes, animals, etc it does a very good job of. But I can’t for the life of me get it to make an image of me giving an annoyed or disgruntled or angry or mad or sad or any other expression other than pure joy and jubilation. Even something like giving a thumbs down is apparently a faux pas in Apple’s generative AI world. I get one maybe two images with a thumbs down with a huge smile on my face and the rest are giving a thumbs up with a huge smile on my face. What’s the point of this if I can’t generate what I want. It’s one thing to be directed and coerced about how to manage files or how to interact with a UI but limiting the images created in my likeness to only ever being happy is something that I am finding very disconcerting. 
    Agreed! It’s annoying how puritanical Apple can get with some of its policies
