  • iPhone 17, Mac, iPad Pro: What to expect from Apple for the rest of 2025

    Apologies that was meant to read 'blow your socks off'. 

    Apropos I wondered why Warren Buffet sold a major part of his Apple shareholding. He praised Tim Cook as a great manager. That's why. Not a visionary.

    Apple doesn't disappoint. It will same-o, same-o repackaged as 'new and improved'. Just like your package of OMO at your supermarket. If you are expecting something to blow your socks on. No need to worry. They will stay on until a visionary CEO takes the helm.

  • Apple Watch loses steam as global smartwatch shipments dropped in 2024

    Quote from article: 'Analysts attribute Apple's slide slide to tougher competition,'

    I presume that doubling up on the word slide makes the slide more pronounced. 

    On the topic of the Apple Watch my partner has an Apple Watch and an Oura Ring. She relies on the Apple Watch when she doesn't want to take her phone along or out and the ring for her extensive health stats. Much more so than the Apple Watch. 

    Overall it is a challenging market and Apple needs a few big hits in its basket to make 2025 a big year. So far we have the anaemic 16e. On the plus side I just ordered the M4 MBA. Looking forward to that one. 

    Let's see what magic Apple can pull out of its hat? I hope that it is not relying just on yet just another phone with bonus AI. From what I read and see AI is turning out to be another dot.com boom.

    Boring af. 
    Exactly right sir. The frenzy build up is for naught it's the same phone with more complications that you need to turn off so that you can get to your phone calls and messages. And, of course, the keyboard is just as awful. 
    If the reviews on the 16e were not that bad I would have been in the market for one just to lessen the heft in comparison on my 15Pro.

  • Apple's iPhone Fold is creeping closer - what the rumor mill says is coming

    Is Apple loosing touch with it’s customers? Because what I see is increasingly bigger iPhones when there’s so many wanting a small iPhone. I know it’s been said that Apple stopped the Mini versions because of not enough being sold, but is that the whole truth and if, maybe things have changed since then. I don’t see so many expressing that they want a foldable iPhone or what the 16e became. By the way, I kind of like the 16e except that it is too big.
    How can you say that? 

    I am sitting in my Apple Car, wearing my Vision Pro and looking forward to my iPhone Fold.
