  • Better than Apple AirTag: the best Find My trackers

    dewme said:
    Somebody needs to come up with a tiny Find My tag to put on reading glasses. Or maybe just a  lightweight Find My tag on an eyeglass holder (lanyard) that works with any glasses, especially sunglasses.

  • Apple plans another iPhone X style redesign for the iPhone 20

    KT123 said:
    With all the hype and wishful thinking about the foldable iPhone, no one has ever answered the question of how are you supposed to hold it next to your ear to answer calls on such a device, do you need to fold it closed first before answering the call or hold it open like an iPad mini next to your ear, how awkward would that be? Imagine taking such a call while walking your dog in a park and the look on the faces of others walking by !
    It’s not really rocket science, you simple close the phone just like Samsung has had their foldable phone out for some years now…

  • iPhone 17 Pro will keep titanium insists leaker

    Just like that comment was irrelevant so many people think their opinions are the only ones that matter. We get it. The sky is also blue, no need to state that the article doesn’t matter because it obviously matters to Apple for the stated reasons in the article. 
    That’s like me going on an electric vehicle forum and saying I don’t like EV’s so it doesn’t matter what the guidelines and regulations are. If it doesn’t matter to you keep moving along and let the people that ARE interested in the topic of an article voice their opinion.

  • Ordering Apple Vision Pro gets more complex with face scan

    Rogue01 said:
    Yup, we've known about the required facial scanning for proper fit since June.
    I'm curious how big of a fiasco it's going to be to go into an Apple Store to demo a unit. They should do it by appointment with a required face scan before the appointment so everything is ready for you to try out. If they're just allowing everyone to come in to wait around in the store for one of the scarce demo units to be available, then having to go through a fitting and set up process along with being trained how to use it, man that will be a disaster with the time involved and so many waiting around to try it. But on the other hand, I can see people going to the store to try it out and being told, oh you have to make an appointment, the next one is in 3 weeks, and that not going over too well with customers either, so who knows.
    At $3,500, no one is really interested in this at all.  So probably won't be any lines of people waiting to try it because people would rather spend $3,500 on anything else.  This product does not solve any problems and AR/VR has never been a popular item for decades.  People don't want to wear googles to run apps or watch movies.  The battery is about 2 hours unless you are physically tied to a power source.  Apple created something that no one really has any desire for.  Maybe super rich people that have nothing better to spend money on.  No one bought iPod Hi-Fi, and that was only $349.  No one bought the $10,000 Apple Watch Gold either and Apple said you had to have an appointment to see it.  The iPhone captured the smartphone market.  This captures no market at all.  Big difference.  I love Apple and have been using Apple products since 1989, but you have to wonder why Apple even made this product when consumers are not really into that product category at all.  Very few consumers use AR for games.

    And remember, most consumers wear prescription lenses so another $150 for special lenses will a big deal breaker, especially when prescriptions typically change year after year for people that do wear glasses.  
    Cmon now This item will sell out and on back order for months it will be extremely popular

  • iPhone 16 rumored to gain new capacitive 'Capture Button,' updated Action button

    sc_markt said:
    Does anyone know if the action button can bring up the home screen like the old home buttons? I'm still using an SE and would like to upgrade but want a button that I can feel without looking at my phone that can bring up the home screen.



    No, there are a million videos on YouTube that show exactly what that button does check out a few and it’ll inform you so you can make a well informed decision on your next iPhone purchase
