  • Apple releases iOS 15.2 & iPadOS 15.2 with legacy contacts, Apple Music Voice, more

    The product developers at Apple need to screw their brains in and become innovative again. There is a beautiful solution that fulfills both these use cases, but obviously Apple hasn’t found it yet. Can you see it?
    Great armchair product designer vaguepost. 
    Yeah but how can he show faux superiority if he has to actually show a specific solution and make it beautiful? We're not talking just any patchwork kludge, but a beautiful solution. I never trust anybody who uses that adjective in such a context. That's legend in your own mind material.
    Ha ha, you’ll see. Sorry if I humiliated your creativities, boys. But the guys at the good company immediately got it when contacted. Even if they didn’t like my language (same opening line as in the post here). They agreed on the adjective though.

    Bitter luck in the next brain battle, boys.

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

    dope_ahminedope_ahmine
    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.

    Yeah, but now when a criminal steals something with an AirTag hidden in it, Apple has created a way for them to quickly find & disable it.  I guess they’re really only good for something you accidentally lose.  Any notion of theft-deterrent or recovery is killed by this feature.  
    It’s the problem of striking a balance between being able to use AirTags to track stolen items and preventing people from using them to stalk people. I’m disappointed that I can no longer depend on my AirTags to locate a stolen car, briefcase, suitcase, etc., etc.  That was my main reason for wanting them.

  • Apple's 2022 iPhone 14 Pro predicted to have hole-punch display

    dope_ahminedope_ahmine
    What does a hole-punch display look like? And who would use it? No one uses paper binders anymore.

    Did you mean a punch-hole display?

  • FTC sues to block Nvidia's $40B acquisition of Arm

    If this acquisition is allowed it makes no sense why Apple’s App Store is being forced to open up. Apple has every right to run its products the way it wants to. Nvidia owning ARM affects multiple computing companies not just its own. 

    Nvidia owning ARM is a terrible idea, and should be stopped.

    And that has NOTHING AT ALL to do with Apple and their app store.  Apple has NO right to run MY iPhone the way it wants.  It's MY iPhone, not Apple's iPhone.  And because it's MY iPhone and not Apple's iPhone, Apple should not be allowed to have any say whatsoever about what software I choose to run on MY iPhone.  If you want to only get software through Apple's app store on YOUR iPhone, that's your right.  But neither you nor Apple should have the ability to stop me from getting software from any source of my choosing.

    And the same thing goes for in-app purchases.  MY iPhone, not Apple's iPhone.  It's only Apple's until they sell it.  Then it's MINE, not Apple's any more.  It's well past time for Apple's app store monopoly to be busted.

    What are you complaining about? There is no one disagreeing with you. It’s YOUR phone, so do what the heck YOU want with it. Throw it into a wall if YOU want. WE don’t care, and Apple doesn’t care.

    But don’t for a second think you can do whatever you want with Apple’s iOS. Because you for sure never bought that. If Apple says you are allowed to modify parts of it, by for ex installing certain apps inside of it, then that’s because they allow you to. The same thing goes for any other software from any other developer on YOUR smart phone or YOUR computer. When was the last time you complained about the rules Facebook set up regarding Facebook-installable apps? Or plugins for MS Office? Or skins in Fortnite?

    iOS comes preinstalled on YOUR iPhone, but if you don’t like the way it works, and the way Apple lets you use it, then you are free to install any other OS of your choice on YOUR iPhone. Heck, YOU could even make one YOURself. Just don’t expect anybody to assist you in that. It’s YOUR choice, YOUR device freedom, and YOUR consequences.

    Can you stop whining about nothing now, and get back on topic? You know, nVidia vs ARM etc.
