  • Apple denies iPhone X failed in onstage demo, says Face ID feature worked as intended

    mr omr o
    Why not unlock the iPhone automatically when you wear an Apple Watch? As you can already do with the Macbook and MacBook Pro.

    Interesting to see that Apple now has a phone lineup that spans from $350 to $1150, wow. That $1150 price point feels just absurd. Will be interesting to see how this sells. I guess I'll be holding on to my (perfectly awesome) iPhone 7 for at least another year or two.
    Well, Tim Cook did say the iPhone X is what Apple envisions for the next ten years.  So I assume, at some time, prices will come down to more mainstream levels once production ramps up to Apple's scale, probably two to three years.
    I don't think so.

    I thin Apple is breaking new ground: true luxury phones.

    I expect next year or the year after to offer an X phone with a 6.5+ inch screen that will start at $1099 or more.

    Apple has to do this. All the other brands are racing to the bottom.  Apple is racing to the top.
    I agree, Apple will come out with a bigger version of the iPhone X next year.  But there's only so far up you can go before you get consumer push back and sales start to hurt.

    2018, introducing the iPhone XS

    Great! Next:
    1. A dedicated macOS  TV app for Films and TV programmes.
    2. Audiobooks moves to the iBooks app?

  • LTE Apple Watch will keep current form factor, be offered alongside standard versions

    mr omr o
    Same form factor,
    but thinner,
    and without the pill shaped button?

    As a MacBook Pro and iPad user, I welcome the LTE Watch.

  • Microsoft website reveals Touch Cover keyboard for Apple's iPad

    mr omr o
    The Smart Keyboard is an anomaly. It belongs in the realm of the PC and laptop computer.

    The Apple Pencil feels more natural with the iPad. Imagine the following scenario:

    1. Draw a rectangle with the pencil (or your finger)
    2. Double tap the rectangle to convert it to a text frame.
    3. Start writing with your Apple Pencil in the text frame.
    4. With a tap, convert your handwritten text to a typeface of your choice.
    5. Change the font size, appearance, etc.

    With a small software update, Apple could make the Apple Pencil their primary input device. There's no need for a Smart Keyboard:
    Compared to the Smart Keyboard, the pencil is much smaller to carry around with you. It also fits perfectly in the iPad's ethos as you can still use the iPad in your lap.
