    Perhaps the show didn’t meet its viewing targets?
     It isn’t as though Stewart would admit that, and Apple will say nothing. It is most likely the wrong kind of platform for such a show. At least at this time.
    This. Underperforming shows get cancelled. Apple prefers to move on rather than discuss failures.
    LOL or... Apple will do whatever necessary to avoid political controversy. It's what Apple does. 
    You can’t really blame Apple, though. Everything sticks to them. If Stewart says something controversial on the Daily Show people might get mad at Stewart or not watch, but are they really going to blame Comedy Central—most probably have no idea who owns that. 
    But if he says something controversial on Apple TV+ you know Apple would be on EVERY tongue. There is too much $$$ at stake.

  • Apple Vision Pro vs Meta Quest 3 compared - Displays, prices & graphics

    bageljoeybageljoey
    I wonder if the Meta 3 will see a sales jump because of people who get interested in/excited by headset computing when looking at the Vision Pro but then aren’t ready to shell out $3k.

  • Apple Vision Pro shipment dates slip nearly instantly

    bageljoeybageljoey
    I held out until the 4th generation of iPhone; the third generation of iPad; and the second generation of Apple Watch. 
    Looks like I’m going to have to get in on the first generation of the Vision Pro…

  • Why the new AirPods Pro 2 are needed for Apple Vision Pro lossless audio

    I’m still confused about why this was needed specifically for the Apple Vision Pro. As noted in the demo, there are speakers built right into the device that are meant to direct audio into the ear, featuring two drivers on each side — exactly so you don’t have to further block ambient sound by wearing earphones under the band that goes around your head.
    Just spitballing here: TVs come with speakers, but people still spend $$$ to add sound bars and better speakers.  Maybe to get the best experience you need the AirPods in ear rather than the built in headband speakers…

  • MagSafe vs. Qi2 -- Everything you need to know before the iPhone 15 launch

    bageljoeybageljoey
    I’m just curious. If the Qi2 standard was based in part on MagSafe and if iPhone15 is MagSafe and Qi2 compatible, why wouldn’t Old MagSafe iPhones also be fully comparable?  Do the magnet circles not match?
