  • Despite what you may have heard, don't write off the iMac just yet

    Just changed to M3 model from a 21” 10 year old Intel iMac. Absolutely love it and the screen size is perfect. Also great for watching films, playing music through the excellent 6 speaker system and browsing of course.

  • Apple Vision Pro followup expected to be a more affordable, cut-down model

    AfarstarAfarstar
    I *can* sorta imagine Apple offering a new and distinguishable "virtual computing device" of some sort; but not just a less capable, less expensive, AVP.

    In proper English it’s ’sort of’ not sorta. 
    Won’t you Yankees ever learn?

  • 'Napoleon' is a hit with the box office, but not so much with critics

    Main takeaway from this article:  Ridley Scott is a dick.

    And apparently he needs to stick to scifi and stay away from history.  Nobody cares if Alien movies are historically accurate.
    Actually it’s the French are total dicks. 
    They hate us Brits, so anything that shows us in a better light than them, really riles them. 
    Tell me a historical film that doesn’t deviate from fact in order to dramatise the story.

    Maybe people are getting pissed off with your prices eh? Your actions on the market then drive up the prices of other smartphone manufacturers cos then they get greedy too. I remember buying my first iPhone 3GS for £299 or £349 back in 2009 or so. Now the same equivalent for me in a Pro Max model is circa £1400. That’s greed too, not inflation. 

    Now you’ve also increased your  One subscription prices globally. Third time in 2-3 years too if you’re outside of the US.  TV is useless, you’ve to pay for most of the non  stuff.  Fitness+ bugs the life out of me cos they’re all on Prozac or something with those fake smiles. iCloud is rubbish compared to Googles offering but I need it. Not much use for Arcade either. 

    Start listening to what your audience wants and will endure instead of telling them what they want or you’ll end up like Nokia. 
    Utter garbage. You’re clearly not taking advantage of Apple’s amazing eco system which works brilliantly for 99.9999% of users. Suggest you buy a cheap knock off.

  • No Apple Watch Ultra 3 in development, says Kuo

    AfarstarAfarstar
    I’m not convinced that Kuo (or Gurman) have a clue about Apple’s plans. I think they are just second guessing all the time which is why their ‘predictions’ are often spectacularly wrong.
