  • iPhone 16 Pro models dominate lackluster iPhone 16 sales

    How pathetic it is that “national holidays” often have little meaning anymore with non essential people working.  The world will survive if iPhone or any other phone production stops for a day, even a month.  It reminds me of mighty Amazon having people seemingly out all times of the day and on holidays delivering packages.

    This is all well and good.  But,  I’m really disappointed by iOS 18 so far.  Initially,
    my iPhone 15 seemed okay but after a few days things seem slow on WiFi.  In general, there are a ton of reports about sluggish phones and non responsive screens. How could this have been approved for release???  Have been using iPhones since iPhone 1,  iOS 18 is likely the worst yet and the AI features are not even enabled for phones that support that.  Really looking forward to Apple to redeem itself and fix iOS 18.   iOS 17.7 was great and now I regret updating 

    I’m assuming the hectic pace of keeping up with Wall Street schedule expectations is putting real strain on the development teams.  Is that right @Tim Cook?  So,  your company releases a half baked OS version instead of waiting for it to be ready and better tested?  And, you are okay with that Tim ??  Would be curious to know how
    many people are in the QA team and how much hardware and variations have been tested OR not.  
    Otoh iOS 18 is running just fine for me on a 15 Pro. 
    You are lucky.  It seems to be hit or miss,  but there probably is common hardware involved causing it.  Perhaps it has something to do with WiFi also.  My friend shut off WiFi and said her phone works normally that way,
    instead of being sluggish. Hope they fix this soon.

    If I know it's coming to Apple TV+, why on earth would I spend the extra $$ to watch it in the theater?
    Huge screen,  huge sound system.  Getting out of the house….

    Just more proof how important it is to keep unique passwords for really important stuff.

    The Chicago CBS local station broadcasts using the ATSC signal. The ATSC broadcast video and sound is much better than cable-internet.
    So true. What’s also great and exciting is that current ATSC 1.0 can handle other more efficient codecs in the same broadcasting bandwidth that can include higher quality video than what is being done today.  Broadcasters just need to get on board and move away from old codecs.  As for ATSC 3.0,  the digital rights management has been pretty much a disaster.
