    So could Apple turn off operating system support for the M1 series at some future time like they will Intel chips? And how many generations of M series will be supported?
    Apple control the operating system, they can turn off support for anything at any point.  Why would they though, without good reason?  It'd ruin their reputation.

  • Apple's iPhone parts pairing is making the company billions

    I wouldn't mind Apple detecting third party parts and presenting a warning to the user when booting up the device, but outright refusing to work just because a part doesn't come from Apple's controlled supply chain is egregiously restrictive.

  • Will Apple save us from surveillance advertising?

    Sadly Apple's current leadership has dropped the ball here while focusing attention instead on planting forests and reducing its carbon footprint.

    Holy unrelated segue Batman!

    This looks like an interesting alternative to the Apple Watch for some specific use cases. Just like the Apple Watch, I don’t see this as a threat to smartphones. Apple could easily perform several of the same functions with the Apple Watch plus AirPods combination. I don’t see anyone abandoning their iPhone and relying on an Apple Watch or this device alone as their only portal to their connected life. How would someone mindlessly gaze at TikTok and YouTube videos, monitor their Facebook and Twitter/X feeds, or journal about their latest chicken salad or latte experiences with only an Apple Watch or this device? Probably not going to happen any time soon. 
    Suddenly it sounds a lot more appealing!

  • Spatial Video shot on iPhone for Apple Vision Pro previewed for a select few

    The Vision Pro has an external battery pack. Maybe Apple can sell a standalone spatial video camera that you plug into the same battery back if you want to record from something less obtrusive than a Vision Pro. I would expect that the two cameras would want to be separated by several inches. Perhaps a headband with two small cameras attached would be a popular solution. Software could merge the two different camera angles into the correct file format used for the Vision Pro. I'm not sure if the cameras could transmit the video single wirelessly to your Vision Pro, or if there would need to be local storage.

    Lol yeah.  The iPhone is the standalone spatial video camera.
