  • All the Apple subreddits set to go dark in protest of Reddit's API charges

    Isn't that convenient that Apple takes their reddit tags away with their 30% fees they charge. For shame, for shame.
    Apple hasn't done anything.  You've fundamentally misunderstood the story dude.

  • The new Apple Silicon Mac Pro badly misses the mark for most of the target market

    I don't understand why MPX got dropped.  It seemed a pretty neat form factor, and wasn't only being used for GPUs.  The new Mac Pro supposedly has the exact same PSU and fans arrangement, so it's not as if there wasn't the capacity there.

  • Mark Zuckerberg says the Vision Pro doesn't present 'any breakthroughs'

    Meh, I'm not sure what else you'd expect him to say.

  • Will the Vision Pro headset disrupt the high-end TV market?

    Probably not, though I wonder if Apple TV+ will start pushing production houses to make TV filmed in VisionPro friendly formats.

    Wish the cord used a USB-C interface to connect to the battery. Then third-party batteries or multiple Apple batteries could be use.

    Or perhaps that's the point, maybe the battery has to meet certain specs?

    Either way seems strange to have a fixed cord length...yeah it may reach my pocket but can I put it on the desk? Actually, the more I think about it this would be a good use case for the magsafe charging connector on the battery side.
    I wonder if they thought that using MagSafe or a usb-c connection might make the unit prone to too many unwanted disconnects, since the cord could easily be snagged on something if the user was moving around. Or maybe placing a magnetic coil right where your brain is located wasn’t a good idea. 
    We stick electromagnets in our ears every time we put in AirPods or any other buds.  The cord can be snagged now and with a permanently connected cable, the chances are greater the cord or the batter can be damaged.  As it stands now, if the cord or the battery battery get damgaged the entire unit has to be replaced.  Since this is pre-release hardware, I'm hoping the final product will have a USB-C connection allowing 3rd party power. It would also make it better for replacing potentially damaged cords or batteries.
    Nah, Apple.
