  • Apple debuts third-generation Apple Pencil with USB-C charging

    Please - rewrite this article to reflect the Pencil situation. This is not the 3rd generation in the Apple Pencil line.
    The previous product is marketed by Apple as Apple Pencil (2nd generation). So for all intents and purposes this is really the third generation product, whether or not Apple uses those words. They do not. This product is marketed as Apple Pencil (USB-C).

    Joe Consumer will refer to it as the 3rd generation Apple Pencil anyhow.
    While I agree with your sentiment that male customers are more likely to be confused by the Pencil naming I think your conclusion is incorrect. I think no matter what Apple Pencil people have they will call it Apple Pencil and forgo the generation when talking about it. I’m guessing most iPad users that buy a Pencil will pay more attention to the price than the name and the consumers  that have specific needs will like pressure sensitivity might remember the name but will still joust call it an Apple Pencil. 

    Practically everyone I know has an iPhone and none of them mention the number or if it is Pro, Pro Max … they just call it their iPhone. Same with Apple Watch and Air Pods. 
    Yes, just the male customers. Good catch.

  • Ultimate showdown: New Apple Pencil USB-C vs old Apple Pencils

    No human being will be able to notice a 0.01 ounce difference in weight, no matter how much they use it. Sorry, but no.

    Do none of you people remember this article from a few weeks back:

    https://appleinsider.com/articles/23/09/30/apple-pencil-3-leak-claims-changeable-magnetic-tips-are-on-the-way

    They’ll likely reintroduce pressure sensitivity via dedicated tips, so that only the people that need the function will have to pay for it. 

    We’re all going to be ok.

  • Apple TV+ cancels 'The Afterparty' after two seasons

    Honestly, the first season was absolutely awesome. The second one though, I feel like not having Yasper really brought down the appeal of the show. I wish they could have brought him back. 

    I’ve watched a few episodes of the new one but I just don’t feel like it has the same magic as season 1. 
    Yup. Ben Schwartz was definitely missed in season 2. I forced myself to watch every episode and the magic never arrived. RIP

    I love how ruthless Apple is being with all these middling shows.

    I enjoyed both seasons and fully expected a cancelation. It's not something you easily keep rehashing. If I have one question is why hadn't anyone thought to do a Rashomon-style narrative for a murder mystery a long time ago?

    Each episode was also filmed in different ways, using the language of film genres to differentiate between the retelling by each suspect.
    That wasn't until season two, where they mimiic different directors filming styles.

    At least I have the next Agatha Christie murder mystery directed by Branagh to look forward to when it hits streaming.
    The article probably didn’t phrase it in the best way, but both seasons did each episode in a different genre or sub-genere. For example: Action, Mystery, Animation, etc. The last episode of season 2 did Soap Opera which would be more TV than movie genre.

    Not true at all. First season was also filmed with each episode recreating a different film genre. 
    I don't recall that at all. I guess I'll have to rewatch it to see what genre or style each episode mimicked in the first season.

    edit: I checked. I see no genre theme per episode in S01, just the unique POV of the character being interviewed, like in the classic Rashoman.
    https://www.digitaltrends.com/movies/the-afterparty-apple-tv-genres/

    This page lists each episode from the first season and each of the film genres they mimic. 

    You’re definitely correct about Rashomon, but the others are also correct about the film genres.
