    Can Apple PLEASE make UI elements fully SCALABLE for high resolution monitors! 
    PLEASE!

    I recently upgraded to a 27” 4K monitor and it’s a nightmare. 

    Dialogue Boxes are postage stamp sized.
    Menu Bar Items and text are all tiny.
    Text on various application palettes are barely readable.

    I’ve had to increase text and icon size in the Finder, but the Menu Bar and menus are tiny!
    Finder prefs only work for ONE window. Size changes need to be applied to EVERY window I open.

    If I go MacBook Pro without the external monitor, Finder elements are too big.

    Apple has been promising scalable UI forever. Will they ever deliver?
    Apple needs to do this for the iPad mini. It's insane that the default text is smaller than the text on my old iPhone mini.

  • Apple Watch loses steam as global smartwatch shipments dropped in 2024

    I'm a big Apple nerd, have Apple everything, new iPhone Pro Max every year, but I can't think of a reason I'd replace my first gen apple watch ultra, with only one exception, if Apple created a powered watch band with sensors that allowed me to control things (watch, phone, tv) with various gestures.

  • iPhone 17 video hints at how fall updates will feel in the hand

    I'm super excited about the iPhone 'air,' but I want to be able to take spatial videos and pics. Apple should really come out with a GoPro like device with dual cameras. In addition to promoting the Apple Vision Pro, it'd be great to see what Apple can do with bigger sensors, not to mention 3rd party lenses.

     Once again Apple teases with a low price for a crippled SSD of 256GB.  Apple is such a fraud when it comes to their environmentally preaching since they install small SSD that makes their device obsolete too soon and thus enters the landfill.  How is that good for the environment?  
    I'm only using 140GB on my work computer, and the vast majority of that is from large, inefficient apps that will be replaced soon.

  • Apple now lets you transfer purchases from one Apple Account to another

    Hallelujah!!! About gd time. I remember when Tim hinted at this happening 'soon' in a customer email over 10 years ago, or something like that.

    It actually worked. I can finally get rid of my gmail account!
