  • Siri may only get minor Apple Intelligence improvements before iOS 19

    I don’t think I’m alone in not being in any hurry to see them overhaul Siri. It does what I want. I don’t want to carry on a conversation with my phone. I ask it to do something, it does it. I ask it a simple question, it gives me the info. I really don’t want any more than that.

  • Apple faces fresh legal attack over its carbon neutral Apple Watch claim [u]

    Nothing that is manufactured is carbon neutral. The whole carbon credit shell game is a grifting scam. 
    Exactly. Multiple studies have found that they sell the same credits to multiple clients, sell the credits, and then develop the land anyway, or just lie about the credits they have to sell.

  • iPhone 16e review roundup: an okay, if compromised, device without a market

    Apple's website is specifically pitching the 16e to current owners of the IPhone 11, 12, 12 Mini and SE 2 and 3 phones. 
    Suppose that today I accidentally drop/step on/kick my iPhone11 down the stairs and HAVE to get a new phone. No waiting for September. To me I’d have a choice. A14, the closest thing to my 11 that works with all my existing chargers, cables, and such. Alternatively I could spend a bit more and get a 15 or even a 16 and get a massively better phone. If they are targeting me as an 11 user with this their shells aren’t even landing in the same continant.

  • Apple's smart doorbell to utilize MagSafe, ring AirPods Pro

    DAalsethDAalseth
    If you have a doorbell, you have power to it already. MagSafe makes absolutely no sense. Battery power makes absolutely no sense. You have power there already. 

    I already have enough stuff that I have to keep charged.

  • iPhone 16e focuses on real needs for regular people

    DAalsethDAalseth
    In the end, the iPhone SE and iPhone 16e were -- and are -- for people who just want an iPhone. They don't care how fast the chips are, or about taking a 48-megapixel Ultra Pro Max High Resolution photo.
    No that’s what the SE was for. The 16e is significantly more expensive and harder to justify for someone just wanting to dip their toe into the Apple Ecosystem. However it’s so stripped down that it’s not really good for people that might be willing to pay $600+ for a good phone. The 16e is neither fish nor fowl, it’s not a good compromise. If they drop the price by $100+ then yeah, maybe. But right now when people ask me about getting an Apple phone I point them elsewhere.
