    Blatant lying like that (clipboard reading does not happen as a result of a bug) greatly diminishes both my trust and my usage of LinkedIn.

  • Apple Arcade has shifted to focus on games with higher 'engagement'

    BeatsBeats
    Let's stop beating around the bush. THE GAMES SUCK.

    If Arcade cannot compete with traditional consoles or offer decent FPS games or games with loyal online bases like Fortnight or Halo, then really what's the point?

    Apple TV needs the latest chipset and big games like Tomb Raider or an exclusive GTA. Apple needs to stop playing. Either buy a big studio like Capcom or have an in-house developer that cranks out AAA games. Otherwise people will get bored with their bite-sized 2D crap and puzzlers.

    Apple IS NOT putting the same effort into Arcade that they did with iTunes, iPhone, iPad, Apple Card, Apple Music or even Apple TV+.

  • Why the Mac's migration to Apple Silicon is bigger than ARM

    That would be nice - but seems extremely dependent on programs being optimized. The anemic library of titles will probably shrink even further - at least until there is market saturation. 

    Mac users will be stuck using dumbed down iOS software for a long time I feel. 
    After all - This is the motivation isn’t it? Eventually have just 1 OS that can be modded to facilitate the device. 

    A-Series is closer than you think. We will see A14 this year which will surpass PS4 Pro graphics. Eventually iPad games and Mac games will be next-gen quality. We could potentially see iPad/Mac pass PS5 quality during PS5's lifetime.

    Yes, I know nerdcore gamers will compare this to $5,000 rigs just to sh** on Apple but the reality is, 99% of the population doesn't give a damn at this point. This isn't 1993 when 8-bit and 16-bit was a massive leap and at 7"(iPhone)-24"(iMac) screens there will be no need for 8k or something ridiculous.

    I think a smart move would be for Apple to encourage developers to support A14 games. We need a handful of titles that run better than that Tomb Raider demo even at the cost of leaving iPhone 6s users behind.

  • Apple moves to 'de-risk' China production, keep iPhone SE price low

    What iKnockoff users don't understand is that a trade war with China also affects China. Imagine the entire manufacturing industry moving out? That will also hurt their knockoff industry which is what they're known for. If we wouldn't have passed our technology to their plants, they wouldn't have created their knockoff industry.

    Pretty messed up when you think of it. It's like hiring a neighbor to bake your cakes then she steals your recipe and sells hers next to yours but for cheaper.
