  • Apple and OpenAI allegedly reach deal to bring ChatGPT functionality to iOS 18

    Highly confusing messaging around AI as of late. It looks like Apple would get a smorgasbord of LLM models, which doesn’t “feel” very Apple.

    We’ll see what it all means soon!

  • Microsoft's Copilot PC and the M3 Mac killer myth

    CheeseFreezeCheeseFreeze
    A typical AppleInsider rant article. The first reply to this article was someone posting the Surface performance and findings. It would have been better and more useful to include elements like that for a more balanced, open-minded report, rather than just being a sour, juvenile attempt at creating the ‘good guys’ and ‘villain’.

    Qualcomm and Microsoft did a great job. Great to see some competition, at last! It’ll force Apple to take a good look at their pricing strategy and be a bit more bold and daring with their software rollouts.

    The whole “photo copying” argument is a bit weak. Apple has been copying a lot over the years and it’s just how the industry works, how competition works. I see a lot of differences and unique product positioning there. It’s not wrong to compliment the brand you don’t use or like.

  • Brad Pitt & George Clooney are lone 'Wolfs' in Apple movie trailer

    Great names and they both have comedic talent, however it’s Apple that I don’t trust. They’ve been releasing a lot of lower quality stuff as of late while spending millions. 
    I feel this is going to be formulaic stuff where guns and killing are portrayed as goofy and actors playing funny, so that in the end there is no character viewer and nobody really cares. It’s a fast-food movie judging the trailer. 
    When are they going to take risk and throw uit some more edgy, daring content? 
    My favorite show on Apple TV is Severance - this is truly original and has a great art direction. Impeccable story telling. We don’t need fast-food, we need quality.

  • Mac Pro and Mac Studio refreshes may wait till 2025

    CheeseFreezeCheeseFreeze
    It sounds like a weird strategy not to push the M4 now it’s in their tablets. Especially when the Mac Studio still is on M2.

    Personally I believe Apple is going full force on AI for their new operating systems and for this they need to get the M4 out there as quickly as possible, so they can once again show the benefits of a perfect marriage of hardware and software.

    Sure, laptops come first, but their desktops are a ‘status symbol’ to them: demonstrate what their products can do for professionals who demand high-end performance.

    It’s either at WWDC or late 2024 I believe.

  • iPad Air hands on: A return to an affordable large-format iPad

    CheeseFreezeCheeseFreeze
    Finally Apple got rid of 64gb, which was a disaster for people without know-how on storage. They’d buy an iPad and then realize quickly they were in trouble storage wise. 

    The iPad Air is the best product of the tablet family, unless you have younger kids - the 256gb regular iPad is the best one then, with more memory to store games and a chip that can run all games easily. 

    The worst of them is the iPad Pro, which targets an audience who hates the limitations of its operating system. Hopefully this will drastically improve in September with iPadOS 18.
