  • iPhone 15 Pro Max lands with 5x optical zoom, faster USB-C

    Well, so much for the periscope lens configuration.  3x to 5x is not much of a selling point for me.  I'll wait another year.

  • FineWoven is here, as Apple phases out leather in watch bands & cases

    People who still want leather, like me, are just going to buy non-Apple accessories. It's a stupid move that will sacrifice sales on the altar of virtue signaling. 

    It's like their lightning and USB-C cables that are made out of recycled butterfly wings but only last a couple of years before they break. 
    Agreed.  I'd like to see how these new bands are fabricated all the way back to their chemical composition and compare to leather.  While it's commendable that Apple is doing what it can to "save the planet" it's not a selling point for me.  Like you mentioned it's nothing more than virtue signaling.  Just like the neighbor down the street with their "We don't believe any human is illegal, etc etc etc" signs.

  • Spotify raising premium plan prices in US to try to stay profitable

    Meh.  Another $1 a month isn't a biggie for me.  I'll keep it.  I use Spotify and SiriusXM almost exclusively anymore.  I don't like YouTube or any of the freebies outside of those two platforms. Just my preference though.
