  • Apple Ring: Two decades of rumors and speculation about a smart ring

    I don’t care about any of these hypothetical features. I just want two things:

    1. When I put it in fire, markings should appear (in Elvish, or according to what I choose to ‘engrave’ on the Apple Store.

    2. I want a tiny speaker in the ring that randomly plays back (once a day, while wearing): “my precious!” or sounds of coughing up hairballs.  

    Skip anything related to health or iCloud. Just those two please.

  • Apple's Core Technology Fee at the center of EU's first DMA violation investigation

    Apple should withdraw from the EU!

    If there are enough Apple Users who Throw a Fit, maybe the EU Cheeseheads will Cave and get out of the way of Commerce. 

    Couple Years using Android and they may change their (i)Tune(s)!
    You would make the world worst CEO. The legal fallout of that decision would alone bankrupt any organization even the likes of Apple.
    Think of all the corporations and government organization that rely on iOS and iPadOS. The moment you “withdraw” out of spite because you don’t want to comply with laws is the moment you can expect to be sued to hell and back for damages.

    Anyway. As for true *cosf* that Apple has to make with these App Store changes, I think it’s fair Apple charges a fee. I think the EU will need to accept such a thing. However that fee needs to be fair. It cannot be a sleazy way to force developers to stick with the App Store.

  • An Apple Vision Pro successor may need to be tethered to an iPhone or Mac

    I think it is a great option and can see it being popular. I’m considering getting the pro model regardless because I want to play with it sooner rather than later.
    I recommend waiting. I have one at home for work and there’s just not a lot you can do with it. There’s not a lot of software that sells the device.

  • Apple Intelligence & iPhone mirroring aren't coming to EU because of the DMA

    Dear Apple, then why am I able to use ChatGPT 4o with all features just fine? You know, the one that isn’t as focused on privacy concern as yours? 
    Sounds like you are posturing…

  • Apple Intelligence impresses now, and it's still very early

    Bit of a heave handed article. What is demonstrated is typical LLM performance and behavior.
