  • AAPL crumble: stock hit again, as White House clarifies 145% China tariff rate

    145%??

    The already almost too expensive iPhone will become unobtainable.

  • tvOS 18.4 brings Matter support for vacuums, lossless audio, and more to Apple TV

    I’m not sure Apple TV will do lossless audio. Into what would the usb-c cable or the new cable for the AirPods Max plug??

  • Apple's ultra-thin OLED iPad Pro fails to spark sales surge

    I have an 3rd gen iPad Pro 12.9, which has the Apple Pencil and Magic Keyboard with trackpad. Absolutely loved this thing since 2018 until I dropped it on one of its corners and the screen smashed a month or so ago. Up to that point I had no reason to upgrade to the various new iterations. The A12X chip could handle anything, never got a sense that it was underpowered for iPadOS. ProMotion and FaceID made it really no different from all further iterations.
    I have considered one of the new iPad pros as a replacement given the screen is too smashed up to be useable. They are just way too expensive. 3 grand AU to replace everything my current one has is just too much money, as I doubt I’ll notice any performance improvement over my current one given the limitations of iPadOS.

  • Apple's iOS 18 to streamline task management with unified events and reminders

    This is absolutely a godsend. I won’t name the calendar app I subscribe to (as it is very solid) but the only reason I pay the regular subscription is for its ability to integrate tasks with calendars. 

    I’ve been wanting this for years from Apple - finally!!

    Yeah, cause that's what people want to do make Excel spreadsheets using pinch gestures while wearing a heavy headset.

    PowerPoint is cool though.
    If you want to write documents or perform some text heavy workflow, just use a wireless keyboard and mouse with the VP. There are a lot of really good ones on the market. Really, there are a lot of really good keyboards and mice on the market. Wish I had the time and money to try more of them.

    Still a lot of questions of the level of complexity applications will have. Will be curious to see if Apple puts FCP and LP onto it. Wish Terminal and Xcode comes with it too.
    Potential too for interesting virtual overlays when using the VP with a keyboard. I can imagine instantly toggling back and forth between the qwerty layout and a layout of specific app shortcuts for example.
