  • Apple Watch Pro shown off in new renders one day before release

    Hope it has a lot of features or I’m definitely not upgrading. I went from 2 to 4 to 5 to 6, but 7 I couldn’t justify the upgrade. Might be the same case here.
    I'm in the market. I went from 0 - 5, and lately got a bit bored with the watch and went back to my Seiko Diver.
    My wife has the 6 with blood oxygen, which is desirable.  Temperature might be enough to motivate me if it's reasonably accurate. I had an old G-shock I think that had a temperature sensor, but it was all over the place between ambient and body readings.

    Also hoping this render is way off target.  I like crown guards, but this is not pretty.  I'd like to see more crystal protection.
    Also hoping for a higher depth rating for water sport comfort.  How about a scuba diving app?!

  • iPhone 14 Pro Max will be the most wanted iPhone in the fall

    iPhone 11 itching for 14 pro max.  Went economy back then, but as a pro videographer, finding too much use for phone camera to go cheap this time.
    hope T-mobile will do me right with a trade in and payment plan or Apple Card can beat it.
    t-mobile business has been a real pain in the ass for apple purchased iPhone deals though. 
    Had to create a consumer account then move it over and cancel which was a major PITA.

  • Apple is switching its virtual Apple Cash cards to the Visa network

    I used that procedure. In the Apple Cash settings I see it says its using the Visa network now, but FYI the card in the UI never updated to show "Visa" anywhere that I can see.
    Scroll down and look under CARD DETAILS > Network > Visa Debit
    I think he meant in the card image. On the main one there is no logo, but when you ope it up for settings, at the top there is a small card image with a discernible visa logo.

  • Apple's Mac Studio launches with new M1 Ultra chip in a compact package

    Okay, so there were two statements made that sealed the fate of the larger iMac. The first was that the Mac Studio and Studio display were the perfect for 27” iMac users. The second statement was at the very end when he said there was only one Mac left to transition, the Mac Pro.

    So, there will be no iMac Pro, no iMac with a larger screen. The 24” iMac is it. The Mac Studio is the future and I’m okay with that.


    Sounds exactly right. The heat dissipation in the Midi, er, Studio clearly dictated the height of the enclosure, and that, in turn, meant there was no way they could fit the same cooling capacity into an M1 Double Wide, er, Ultra-powered 27 (or larger)-inch iMac and still retain a slim profile. Unless with some future generation of M<something> chips Apple manages to achieve even higher performance with less heat generation.
    Yeah, but I don't need the ultra option in a large iMac. The iMac Pro is effectively covered, but not the 27" iMac for around $2k.  What I would love is a 32" 5k iMac with the pro and max options and a similar form factor & monitor performance to the 24" for under $3k.

  • Apple's Mac Studio launches with new M1 Ultra chip in a compact package

    Needed: way to use an old 27-inch iMac as a display for the Mac Studio. 
    That went through my mind too!  I'm sure it's great, but $1500 27" monitor is pushing my budget, when my 5k iMac and the cheap QXHD secondary beside it are far from the weak links in my workflow now.
