  • Three things Apple got wrong with the Vision Pro launch

    itinj24itinj24
    I’d like to note that when I preordered mine, I did the fit test multiple times and was given two different results.  21W and 33W.  I settled with the 33W but as the two week waiting period dragged on, I noticed that the majority of people were fitted for 21W. Got me wondering.  

    When I went to pick it up, I asked to try on both light seals before leaving and they were giving me such a hassle.  The rep told me she had to ask her manager first and I kept getting the run around saying the manager was busy.  Then they told me I can take home what I ordered and come back if it doesn’t fit right.   I told them I was not leaving without the proper fit and going to cancel my order if I don’t try on both light seals.  The whole ordeal took over an hour.  Needless to say I was extremely frustrated.  

    By the way, the 21W actually turned out to be the better fit, against the 33W that the Apple Store app recommended the majority of the time.

  • Apple turns on HomePod's smoke alarm recognition

    It’s a pop up at the top of the Home app when you open it, like when there’s an update available.  I just got it on mine.

  • 'Car Keys Tests' app surfaces on App Store

    itinj24itinj24
    CarKey is an awesome feature that I’d hoped would’ve seen a wider adoption by now. I really wanted this after my wife got it with her BMW X5. This along with HomeKey and now I don’t have to carry physical keys and the added pocket bulk with me anymore. 

    That said, I was pretty much forced into getting a BMW for this feature.  Not that that’s a bad thing as I love BMW cars and have owned in the past but having options would be much better.

  • BMW temporarily ships cars without Apple CarPlay

    itinj24itinj24
    BMW has gimped its cars of a few features in the past year or so. Stripping CarPlay is an absolute deal breaker and I’d never buy anything based on a future promise again (ahem Ring and HomeKit)

    My wife just got a 2022 X5 about five months ago and it came with Apple CarKey. I fell in love with the feature so much that I started shopping a BMW myself. Turns out that all the cars I was interested in had that feature deleted on the spec sheet (5 Series), presumably because of the chip shortage. 

    Another feature on BMWs that I remember I loved was soft close doors and it appears that’s also been removed from builds. My wife’s X5 didn’t even come with fog lights. Funny thing is, prices didn’t go down, they went up. 

    These are a few of the top of my head but there’s more. 

    I’ll wait…

  • Apple warns developers it will pull apps without recent updates from the App Store

    itinj24itinj24
    Ridiculous... I have an app that’s pretty much one of a kind and works really well. Hasn’t been updated in a while but why should it if it works?  

    Funny thing is, Apple always breaks a lot of things with their software updates .  iOS 15 has been a nightmare for HomeKit and especially Siri on the HomePod. That’s just one example. 

     No need to update for the sake of updating.
