  • iPhone 15 may have USB-C, but iPhone 17 will have to have it

    Not mentioned: After December 28, 2024, manufacturers have 40 months to make their laptops comply with the law.

    I don't think the iPhone will get USB-C. Apple has two years to improve wireless charging then they can ditch the external connector altogether.

  • Swedish Siri tests point to upcoming HomePod mini release in Sweden

    zanoiizanoii
    Who in Sweden speaks Swedish with Siri anyway — except perhaps people older than 70 or so. Can’t imagine they are Apple’s prime target for the HomePod mini. Has Apple even done any real-world market research here?

    Either way, it’s kinda late to enter this market now when the real (OG) HomePod is gone. The difference in sound quality is tremendous. Imho, I think the minis sound like cheap crap. But on the other hand, I was looking for good quality speakers so I guess I shouldn’t be surprised.
    The problem with Siri not being available in your non-native language on the HomePod is that you have to choose between: 
    1. Use English with the Homepod and Swedish with your iPhone. This option will not allow you to ask the HomePod questions about your personal stuff, like calendar.
    2. Use English on both HomePod and iPhone. This will enable personal requests like your agenda on the HomePod, but will prevent you from dictating text messages in Swedish (for example with Siri Eyes Free in Carplay) and when using Siri to call people you will have to figure out how an English-speaking person would pronounce their name.

    Having Siri set to a non-native language will limit its usability tremendously.

    Is this a feature of the Logitech Circle 2 beta firmware?
    As far as I understand it's a feature you get access to if you are on one of Logitech's paid plans - maybe even only the highest $10/month tier. It would be interesting to know if this feature was available on homekit secure video for customers that aren't on a paid Logitech plan.
    Yes it is. When you move to Homekit Secure video, you get a message that the plans you would have for this camera are canceled.
    Thanks for the info. I'm looking to upgrade my camera setup and the Circle 2 is a solid candidate so far. So are these features disabled once you enable homekit secure video?

    I somehow managed to misinterpret your reply as though the feature was not available once you convert to homekit secure video. 🙄
