    Great news but why can’t Ultra 1 get this update?  (Since I thought the differences between Ultra 1 and 2 were relatively minor.)

    To no avail? Hardly. They spent years trying to develop an Apple Car and, having learned through that process that there wasn't a sufficiently profitable or successful business to be launched, shut down the project. Sometimes, that's how it goes and it's a helluva lot better fate than becoming another Fiskar, Rivian, Polestar or take your pick of EV also rans that probably aren't going to make it. (In Fiskar's case, It's already out of business.) Sometimes you have to be smart enough to take the loss and move on rather than continuing to throw more money at something that is unlikely to change its ultimate fate. 
    No argument about not throwing good money after bad, but it does seem that ten years of effort and $10B was to no avail.  I think they finally realized they weren’t going to outdo Tesla.

    That customisable top button is the most useless hardware feature ever. I have had my iPhone 15 Pro for a year now. I have assigned a number of tasks to it - always forget what for?

    Overall I still prefer my Pixel phone. So much easier to use. But I throughly like the security of the iPhone. 

    Well to hear Apple tell it, they learnt a lot. 

    Like spending $1 trillion on going to the moon - what did we learn? Teflon and how to save a crippled space capsule. 
    Yup, they learned (despite deep pockets) how incredibly difficult it is to launch a compelling and profitable car.

  • Apple Intelligence inches closer to Apple's 1987 Knowledge Navigator

    Um, interesting story, but go back to 1968 when 2001: A Space Odyssey blew everyone’s mind, on several levels, the tech depiction being just one.  HAL, tablets (albeit “laying” on a desk since they were 50 years ahead of the tech), etc etc

    Lets not give Sculley any credit for this.
