  • iPhone 16 Pro Capture button shown off in new CAD leak

    I’m sure I'm alone here but the action button is in an awful spot and disabled on my phone. Just give me volume up/down and thats it. I don’t want another button over there at all and I pray I’ll be able to disable it if they do add one. 😞

  • Apple will frame iPhone 15 USB-C switch as a consumer win

    And it's a win we wouldn't have gotten if the EU hadn't forced Apple to do it.
    Would have been better if they skipped usbc and did MagSafe like they did on the MacBook Pro honestly.  Being forced into anything is never a win and now we are saddled with this port until the EU dictates otherwise.  All hail the EU though.. 🙄
    Yeah, because MagSafe is such a great connector for data transfer and it's so easy to knock over a phone while it's charging on your nightstand.... 🤷
    Maybe I used the wrong name?  The charge port on my M2 Max MacBook Pro charges much faster than any phone charger currently does and it does not just pop off while using my laptop as a laptop, you would have to pull on it to get it to detach.

    I don’t care about new backgrounds. 

    Wireless CarPlay on my brand new audi cuts out for a few seconds every time I drive. It would be nice to listen to an entire song without skipping. 

    Anyone else experience this?

    is this an Audi or an Apple problem?
    I’m not sure whose problem it is but I can tell you in my DDHC with wireless CarPlay I’ve never had that happen in 2 years (including several 13 hour drives).  CarPlay itself seems rock solid. 🤔

  • Why Tesla can get by without CarPlay but other car makers can't

    I think the main reason Tesla has so far gotten away with not supporting CarPlay is that it had first mover advantage in the EV space and could sell its EVs whether they had CarPlay or not.  It's not like people who wanted a good EV had a choice.  I predict that as more capable EVs with CarPlay come on the market, Tesla will eventually be forced to support it as well.  Sure, Tesla has a bunch of its own Infotainment content that other car manufacturers don't, but it's not about the number of options, but the familiarity!  Most people I know want the familiarity of (and access to their data on) the iPhone.  They don't want to leave to learn yet another - sometimes not very user friendly - platform.  With respect to their data, they trust Apple to protect it, whereas they may not trust car manufacturers not to monetize it.

    I guess we will see how this plays out.  I completely agree that GM has lost their marbles deciding to not include it in future EVs.  No wonder Ford's CEO laughed when he heard the news.
    This, Tesla could have sold with no radio option at all and the fan base would have bought it.
