  • New MacBook Pro arrives with M4 Pro, M4 Max, and a black colorway

    Weren't the previous Macbook Pro's released in Space Black already? What am I overlooking here? There were all the comparisons between the pro black and the air midnight black/blue...

  • Apple's Image Playground is a new system-wide AI-powered image generation tool

    I’m hopeful that it’ll allow for some truly unique slides for my Keynote presentations. I spend far too long searching in Safari for something close to what I require — almost every time. 
    Well, it basically brings back Clip Art. Maybe people have been using that for presentations and such? I haven’t thought about “clip art” since the days of Corel Draw and their libraries of clip art on CD.

    I think it may be part of the deal Apple made with OpenAI? I assume Apple wrote an api to hooks into OpenAI ChatGPT your Apple tax dollars at work, in fact Apple mentioned the word api several times during the presentation a subtle reminder to the EU, DOJ, and Developers that value/money was spent/provided to build up the ecosystems in short what you are seeing didn't happen out of thin free air.....
    Oh…that makes sense. So Apple prob didn’t change the ChatGPT quota system or pricing, ie give us anything free except for the API, because they just did it so that we’d have “options” and satisfy the EU and DOJ…

    Am I the only one who kind hates this new functionality? I really...don't love the art styles, and it feels like it's just going to create a lot of extra junk in my messages if people use it. I know, it's a bit of a cynical take, just wondering what peoples' response has been to the new feature.
    You don't have to use it. You don't have use any of the features on an iPhone. You can just put it in Airplane Mode and use it as an iPod or a paperweight if that's your jam. Hell, at least in an older iPhone that had a SIM slot, you could just stick an expired SIM card into the slot.

    Don't like Face ID? Touch ID? Apple Pay? Bluetooth? Siri? Fine. Don't use them. No one at Apple is saying you need to create Genmojis, Memojis, whatever. If you don't want to create images on your phone, don't.

    You don't have to use the camera either. You can ignore it, even put tape over the lenses.

    You can switch to silent mode and change your ringtones to silent audio files if you want.
    Um, I was literally just asking what other peoples’ opinions of the new feature was, and stating my own. Wondering whether other people like it or hate it or are meh about it. Why are you taking issue with that?
