  • Apple plans slimmest iPhone 17 & MacBook Pro designs following iPad Pro success

    I only carry my phone when I’m traveling, and it’s been a harrowing experience. The battery seems to drain so quickly (see: range anxiety) and I’m constantly having to manage it. What I’d love more than anything: keep the damn phones the same thickness—or make them slightly thicker—and give me solid 18-hours of life.
    They'd need to be LOT thicker and a LOT heavier to give you 18 hours of non-stop usage.

    Take a look at the battery pack you probably (or should) have to keep your iPhone charged when you're away from power outlets. It's most likely to be considerably thicker and heavier than your iPhone, especially if you really need 18 hours (when do you sleep?) of "solid" (ie in-use) battery life. Now imagine slapping a screen on that battery and then the computer components on top of that, and that's the weight and thickness of your new iPhone.

    It sounds to me like what really needs constant managing here is your phone addiction ...
    Pretty sure they didn’t say anything about 18 hours of nonstop usage. I read it as that they’d like to be able to make it all the way through a day of normal usage before needing to put it on a charger. And I don’t think you give Apple enough credit in their ability to do that if they focused on battery life ahead of increasing thinnage…

    What is Apple doing with AI these days?
    They can’t even get Siri right, never mind AI
    Siri is AI. Older gen, and limited relative to some competitors by Apple’s attention to privacy, but AI nonetheless.

  • M3 Mac mini, 14-inch &16-inch MacBook Pro aren't coming in the fall

    Always fun to see how “aren’t coming” in the headline becomes “may not” and “likely to” in the very first sentence…

  • Be careful with emoji, because they are legally binding in Canada

    None of us have remotely enough information on the case to be weighing in on it like this. For what it’s worth, reportedly, the guy had a pattern of using various emoji to confirm other transactions with that company. Is that enough to go on? I don’t know, because I have no specifics on those previous transactions, on the full body of evidence presented, on Canadian case law, on pertinent precedent, etc. I DO know that, as another commenter noted above, under the right circumstances, any mark, symbol, scribble, etc., can legally stand in for a legible or illegible signature, I’m not prepared to assume that either of the parties, or the judge, are wrong in what they’re saying.
