  • 'Price is Right' contestants nowhere close to Apple Vision Pro's astronomical price

    SiTimeSiTime
    It’s $3500?!?!?

    I’m on Apple news sites all the time and even I didn’t know it is $3500. For some reason I thought it was $2500 or so. So I would have been way off as well. Although my bid of $2500 would have been the highest without going over.

    I’m surprised the supply chains exist enough to build in Brazil.   
    They (Foxconn) have been assembling iPhones in Brazil for 15-ish years.
    That's not the Foxconn flex that you think it is. I'd expect that in 15 years even India could compete with where China is today. I don't see that ever happening for Foxconn in Brazil.

    Huh? “Foxconn flex”? What does that mean?

    I know what a “flex” is, but what does that have to do with my reply?

    I don’t work for Foxconn. I was just factually stating the they have been assembling iPhones in Brazil for 15 or so years. Brazil assembles iPhones. And… that’s all I was saying.

    So… yeah… okay… that was weird. Bye, lol.

  • Jony Ive talks about minimalism, taste, and Apple's design group

    SiTimeSiTime
    That man loves his minimalism. Even his clothing. That’s a very minimalist color palette he’s sporting. Looks good.

    Oh. Maybe I’m not commenting on anything new. I just Googled him and the first image that popped up was that of an interview of him from September 2024 wearing a nearly-identical outfit (including the shoes). That’s very minimalist of him. Is this specific outfit his version of Steve Jobs’ black turtleneck?

  • Billion dollar battle: Picking an App Store fight with Apple cost Epic Games greatly

    According to a recent interview, Epic still spends more than they make though so once the one-hit-wonder game finally loses player interest, their situation will be different.
    Did the definition of “one-hit-wonder” change recently? Maybe I’m showing my age a bit (and I know the company is a very different company in 2025), but: I’ve been playing Epic Games hit after Epic Games hit since the 90s. I still load up Unreal Tournament 2004 every now and then and that hit came out back in… well, 2004, lol.
    Marvin said:
    It's crazy how such a repetitive, mindless game has lasted so long and generated so much revenue.
    Although you might be showing your age as well because that was very much an ‘Old Man, Kids These Days, Back In My Day, Don’t Know What Real Games Are, Get Off My Lawn’ type of comment, lol.

  • Apple's Eddy Cue is guessing that the iPhone will eventually be replaced by AI

    SiTimeSiTime
    Important to note that Eddy Cue wasn’t announcing anything. His statements during his testimony can basically be summarized as:

    “Don’t regulate us. We don’t want to be regulated. I mean… maybe Apple won’t be around in 100 years anyway, right? Maybe in 10 years AI will… do something. I don’t know. So like… why even bother regulating us then? Just wait 10… or 100 years.”

    This was not Eddy Cue or Apple announcing the future of the company and the company’s products. He just simply doesn’t want the regulators to regulate Apple. That’s all that was.
