  • Apple's $119B Q1 2024 revenue a bounce back from 2023 dip

    I told you that the stock will tank after their earnings out. 

    AAPL will underperform in this year. 

    This is the moment where AAPL shareholders get jelly at META (+12%!!!) and AMZN (+6%!!!!). 

    Any shareholder who gets "jelly" over a one day movement shouldn't be in the stock market.

  • After years off Apple's App Store, 'Fortnite' will reappear in the EU

    I log on to the Epic Games Store on Mac every now and then to check what free games they're offering.  Occasionally there's something good, but I would never buy anything from there, Steam is far superior.  I probably won't even bother downloading the EGS for iOS, unless it turns out that they offer a lot of free games there too; I'd be much more interested in a Steam App Store for iOS, if such a thing were to be announced.

  • Apple Vision Pro is already a win for Apple & consumers

    tht said:
    What do you mean by dramatic? What changed in the operating system? How about some UI screenshots?

    I use my Apple Watch as a notification device all the time. Phone calls, text message replays. That's not Digital Touch or sending heartbeats, but it is still communication, which was a tentpole type feature from the beginning. I basically use the Apple Watch in accordance to the original tentpoles: time, fitness, communication, and weather. Don't see any big changes.
    You want me to do the research and gather screenshots from an operating system that existed nearly a decade ago because you don't understand my point? Yeah, sorry, no.

    If you believe you're correct, go nuts. Or go look at the information yourself. It's not like I'm unique in my perspective since it's what happened.

    What changed? The entire functionality of the operating system. How apps were loaded. What the buttons did. What data was obtained and processed on device versus on the phone. Native SDKs weren't even available until watchOS 2.

    The platform got turned on its head. Go look into it, it's quite the fascinating history. Or don't, I don't care. lol
    Burden of proof is one of the basic concepts in critical thought. Go take a logic class and it will be one of the first concepts covered. 

    In critical thought/logic the burden of proof is the responsibility of the person making the claim.  In this case that is you. That you have declined to offer any proof and are falling back on “go look at the information yourself” just underscores how weak your argument is. 
    An offhand comment in a casual conversation doesn't require evidence.  Get over yourself.  You're welcome to disbelieve someone, but no need to be a dick, ands it's probably ill-advised when the person you're being a dick to has moderation powers.

  • App Store changes coming in iOS 17.4 to the EU don't blow the walls off of the garden

    The EU is just looking for a quick buck.
    Where is there any payment to the EU in this story, quick or otherwise?

  • Apple Vision Pro vs. Sony PlayStation VR 2 - display, processing & design

    From: https://www.apple.com/uk/newsroom/2023/06/introducing-apple-vision-pro/#:~:text=The%20breakthrough%20design%20of%20Vision,user's%20eyes%20in%20real%20time.
    The breakthrough design of Vision Pro features an ultra-high-resolution display system that packs 23 million pixels across two displays, and custom Apple silicon in a unique dual-chip design to ensure every experience feels like it’s taking place in front of the user’s eyes in real time. 
    Seems to me that it's 23 million pixels total (not including the EyeSight front panel, presumably), or 11.5 million pixels per eye.
