  • Apple Car effort gains BMW electric car executive Ulrich Kranz

    Oh the irony, Craig Federighi was shown driving a little red 2 seat convertible in one of the WWDC segue clips, as in The Red Barchetta tune from his favorite band.  Check out the lyrics if you don’t understand.

    Craig has been really involved with the community even taking their concerns to heart.

    How a man this busy does it, I don’t know but these are traits of a CEO.
    Craig is a New World Man, Cinderella Man and Digital Man ;)

    He would be the best public face for Apple after Tim retires.  He can have supply chain experts and others run their divisions and domains, but he’ll tie it all together and provide product vision/leadership, and have major credibility with consumers and Wall Street.

    This is great but why weren’t IP addresses hidden all along, or at least years ago?
    Hidden by what, your local client or some other server? If the former, how would data get back to you? If the latter, how would the server owner get compensated for that service?

    Apple has decided to provide the latter and charging users through iCloud+.
    Thanks for explaining, but it still seems that this could, and perhaps should, have been achieved sooner than now.  
    I could probably agree with you on that.

    Apple probably won't let people hide which country they are from because Apple is in the media business itself and they have to know which country a person is in for their own media-controlling purposes. For example, I'd like to pay for Paramount+ and get the US content, but I'm stuck with the Canadian content of Paramount+ which feels like 50% of what the US gets. Because of these limitations Apple probably doesn't call it a "VPN".
    Interesting, didn’t consider this angle, and probably many more.

  • Apple enhances AirPods with Conversation Boost, Find My integration, Spatial Audio for App...

    Conversation Boost “sounds” like it’ll be a game changer for millions of folks.  Hopefully it’s integrated with AppleWatch’s crown for dialing volume up/down, and/or background noise, without having to look away from person speaking.
