Singapore Airlines goes all-in on iPads for pilot flight books
previous iPad Pro.greenmeenie said:I wonder what iPad Singapore Airline pilots are using? Most pilots I hear prefer the iPad mini. But it hasn’t been updated yet.
The mini is preferred in small airplanes, where space in the cockpit is restricted... in airliners, the full size iPads are no problem. (and when viewing charts, bigger is always better
)
(No... airlines don't do testing to determine stuff like background colors... in fact, the apps we are given don't even follow Apple's "standard" iPad/iOS interface controls.)

Apple ships new model of Apple Watch Magnetic Charging Dock
I wonder if that has anything to do with their inability to get the AirPower mat to market?macxpress said:Because Apple Watch doesn't use full-blown Qi to charge. It may use technology from that standard, but Apple Watch doesn't use Qi to charge. This is why you can't just to get any charger you want for Apple Watch.

Steve Wozniak doubts fully self-driving vehicles are 'quite possible yet'
No. They don't.SnickersMagoo said:... GM already has a 2019 model with ZERO CONTROLS....no steering wheel or pedals........They've made press releases saying they PLAN to... but they don't yet... and likely won't.
2020?... perhaps.
2021?... more likely.
Of course they have test-mules in this configuration, but that's not the same as claiming they "already have a 2019 model...".

Future Lightning cables may create a water-tight seal when connected to the iPhone
If they really want to retain a power/data "port" ... why not just go with a magnetic contact port like the iPad pros use to connect the keyboards? ... maybe it would take up more internal room, I don't know.

Apple will no longer report iPhone, Mac and iPad unit sales
I really don't care about GROWTH. So what of growth is stagnant... you're telling me they sold just as manny phones this year as they did last year?... that sounds fantastic to me! It wasn't even a "new" model year, "merely" an incremental improvement. The market is near saturated, yet they continue to sell just a s many phones!AppleInsider said:...
The change arrives as sales of iPhone, Apple's most important revenue driver, stagnate. During the most recent quarter, for example, iPhone sales growth was flat year-over-year. Last quarter, sales were up by a single percent from the same time last year.
...
If GROWTH is required to make a profit, then you have a bad business model.
