  • Reports are spreading about a very specific Apple Vision Pro front glass crack

    Same problem as the iPhone 5. Easy solution. People just need to stop slipping these into their back pocket a sitting on them.

  • The Apple Watch 'future of health' on your wrist is likely still years away, say doctors

    "The problem is, that is not accepted by the medical community and it won't be for quite some time," said Dr. Steven LeBoeuf, co-founder of biometrics firm Valencell. "The [FDA] would have to approve it and then doctors have to accept it, and then they need to get reimbursed for it. That's a long process. It's not as straightforward as one would think."

    The FDA gave their stamp of approval for the ECG feature arguably a much more advanced feature than the other features used on the watch. I’m confused. Does this Dr. Steven LeBoeuf know this or did he assume that is wasn’t already approved 🤨

  • Apple hourly workers feel helpless under punishing pressure & mistreatment

    This attitude of ‘I deserve better’ is literally ruining our societies. I’m not saying they do or don’t deserve better, I don’t know. What I do know is that ungratefulness, jealousy, and entitled attitudes lead to things falling apart. Not building things up.

    It’s not even that long ago that people were grateful for their jobs, even if they weren’t ideal. Working is a privilege, but our culture looks at how other people have it better or just that we think we deserve better. Most people don’t understand that attitude breaks down the culture. A lack of appreciation ruins everything.
    I would agree with you if what you’re saying was the actual problem people are discussing here. It’s not. I myself used to be an Apple retail employee. Worked there for 6 years. I got smart and left after that time because back in 2015 … yes even then the problem was as it remains today-a lack of dignity for the employees. Getting yelled at by customers who are the “I deserve more” people you’re misunderstanding for the employees. 
    Dignity is the problem. Not wanting more. And maybe to your point, even if they throw $1k in bonus to employees that’s an empty gesture. The whole environment needs to change in retail stores to curb the systemic problems that pervade in the retail environment.

    Always remember that 'Genius' you think is doing such a great job repairing your computer, so much better than a third-party repair shop could possibly do, is actually working for about $13/hour.  Apple does not pay store employees a living wage.
    I’m all for recognizing that Apple needs to pay their employees more equitably, not to mention more. But most Specialists (a term for sale people before 2017) made more than $13 dollars an hour. Genius were making anywhere from 17-$22 an hour back then too. Where are you deriving your information… and from which decade?
