  • Uncovered iOS 26 beta image hints at sleep score for Apple Watch

    I hope this means that an Apple Ring with sleep tracking is coming this Fall. It would definitely make things easier to be able to keep that on and have the phone and watch on the charger every night. I don't always remember to keep my watch charged, so sleep tracking is not worth the hassle at the moment.

  • UK will back down over its demands on Apple for an encryption backdoor

    danox said:

    Governments worldwide, in collaboration with influential citizens (the Elite), seek a concealed access mechanism (a “back door”) that enables them to conduct surveillance without judicial warrants. This would allow them to monitor the activities of common citizens, on their electronic devices. It is imperative that citizens start to hold these governments accountable for their actions at the ballot box. 

    However that won’t happen because those lower down the ladder (in all western countries) will suffer any indignity if they believe that they already are part of the elite and believe they won’t suffer any consequences it’s the other poor guy not me, many also hold on and believe at the last minute they can just squirm into the upper echelon ie... random Americans in the red zone, Dearborn, Michigan or someone like Vivek Ramaswamy in short the battle is already lost before it even started.

    By extension Apple will be/has been petitioned to add back doors for the privileged elite even if that means, making a worse product against the wishes of their customers.

    Kier can’t help himself and neither can the rest of the so-called Elite….

    What you're saying is so clearly obvious that it blows my mind how brainwashed people are who can't see it. 

    I strongly suspect that the hate being heaped on Apple is largely because it's the only tech company that is not in complete lock step with the elites/institutional power structures. For instance, a Tim Cook doppelganger being cast in the role of psychopathic tech company CEO in Jurassic Park Dominion.

  • Car makers reject CarPlay Ultra as an Apple overreach

    I like the idea of car play, wish I had it in my car, but I don't understand why Apple bothers with it. I assume it's pretty niche and low revenue. Is there a long-term play they need to keep the foot in the door for?

  • Next Apple Vision headset may use titanium to cut weight

    Can't you just mount an eye bolt on top of the headset and tie a helium ballon to it?
    Lol, grok just calculated that the diameter of the balloon needed to equalize the weight of the AVP is 1.2 meters, totally doable :)

  • iPhone 17 Pro dummies show where glass ends and metal begins

    I'm having a real hard time understanding why Apple doesn't just keep the amazing all glass back and titanium design for the pros (extend the camera bump across like the others) and leave the aluminum frame for the base iphone and air. I don't see how the rounded rectangle on the back of the pros won't look awkward. Happy to be proven wrong.
