  • visionOS 26 at WWDC rumored to have a big emphasis on gaming

    I'll never understand why Apple spent $10B chasing cars when it could have created its own gaming studio. I think Apple had the chops to create fun loving characters and games that would directly compete with Nintendo and they have the better ecosystem. Running games on TV's, Macs, iPads, iPhones and now the AVP, its was a no brainer. Not to mention spacial audio and spacial video. It would have actually given a real use case for the AVP. They also could have started an Apple Game Certification Program, similar to what Nintendo did on the NES to make sure could get high quality games.

  • Apple's iPhone 17 Slim is a wrongheaded approach that ignores what people really want

    I worry more about what this means for the 17 Pro. What incentive does it give Apple to make significant upgrades to the iPhone 17 Pro for fears it will cannibalize sales of the 17 Slim? I still fail to understand where a product like this will fit into the lineup.

  • iPhone 17 and beyond: Apple's most ambitious lineup

    Isn't the reason you want a folding iPad essentially why someone would want a folding iPhone? Your points aren't wrong, but something like a pixel fold gets you an iPad mini in a size that not that much bigger than a 16 pro max.
    I don't like how heavy the current iPhone is in my pocket let alone a folding one. I also never said I wanted a larger screen for my phone, but it would be nice to have a larger screen in a smaller form factor for media consumption while traveling.

    I don't understand the appeal of a folding phone. They are:

    • More expensive
    • More expensive to repair
    • Screen is less scratch resistant
    • Screen may show fold
    • Hinges make it more prone to break or susceptible to dust
    • Heavier
    • Can be difficult to use with one hand

    All just to have a larger screen. I would love a folding iPad. Give me an e-ink display on the outside and it would be the perfect travel companion for movies and books.

  • An exclusive, real-world look at the haptic buttons Apple developed for the iPhone 15 Pro

    Can't help but wonder if the new button animations in iOS18 for the volume buttons indicate that capacitive touch is coming for ALL the buttons this year or next year.
