Apple's 'Mother Nature' sketch was a complete dud, and didn't belong in the iPhone 15 even...
I don't comment very much online at all, but wow, seriously, someone needs a vacation.As someone stated, everything else was filler to me, an infomercial - did consumers need to know that much about the A17's specs and its effect on gaming? At least they had some creativity to present a lot of meaningful numbers on a meaningful subject that affects us all in a way that was obviously memorable. But no, the message here is don't bother trying next time. A lot of good that'll do us all. -
Some Apple HomeKit setups are breaking after iOS 16.2 update
One of my HomePod minis was no longer responsive, then it wouldn't accept my correct Apple ID password, then it would get stuck 'Setting up' when I factory reset. I updated it manually via my Mac to 16.2, still nothing. Then Apple Support suggested that I check my Apple ID two-step verification, and when it got stuck in 'Password & Security' I knew that was where the issue was. I simply restarted my phone at that point and the set up went through seamlessly.

Apple working on 15-inch MacBook Air, smaller 12-inch MacBook with M2
Finally. This was the most mind boggling elitist position that Apple held for so long: In a world where the average laptop price is $800 and the average screen size is 15 in, to require its customers to pay a minimum of $2500 to get a screen at least that size was infuriating and depressingly out of touch IMO. I predict their market share is going to grow significantly once the 15 in MBA is available, assuming it’s in line with the $1199 13.6 in, so, like, no more than $1499. -

Apple Maps gets 3D view with iOS 15 in selected cities, more to come
I honestly doubt the selection of cities is based on Apple's preferences, but rather where local government bureaucracies would allow it. I've always assumed Washington DC would be one of the last because of fear of the 3D maps enabling security risks, so I'm happy to finally see 3D mapping coming to DC.
