Larger 32-inch iMac Pro rumored to hit store shelves in late 2024
macxpress said:I doubt Apple is releasing an iMac Pro. An iMac Pro just isn't necessary with Mac Studio available. There might be a larger screened iMac coming but it won't be a Pro. Just because it's a larger screen iMac doesn't make it an iMac Pro.
I still have the original aluminum 30" Cinema Display from 2008-ish. But having seen 5k displays I covet the text clarity. As great as it is, I won't give up the size, even that little bit of real estate seems obvious to lose. A 32" Studio Display.... is perfect, and matches perfectly with the Studio.

Reddit plans accessibility changes to iOS app as community fury continues
The iOS app is terrible in many ways.
For instance, try selecting text in a message. Oh, that collapses the thread so you can no longer read the message you were trying to quote? Yeah, that's what I wanted...
What's even more bizarre is that the posts that it choses to present to be are completely different than what you get in Safari on the same machine - yes, logged in as the same account. So you see something in the app and want to reply, but can't do so in the app for reason above, so you fire up Safari and can't find the post in question.
It's just terrible from end to end. -
Apple is refining haptic feedback technologies for future Siri Remote
"the Siri Remote that could guide future users"
Yeah, great.
You know what would actually be great? How about putting the raised ring back on the play button so we can feel it easily, moving the Siri button which is currently impossible for me to push with my thumb, and making the track pad larger for those of us who prefer swiping to button pushing.
And hey, here's an idea... given that the TV remote has always been the most-lost device in the home, wouldn't it be great if they put an AirTag in it so we could locate it with our phones and not have to play "where's the remote" with the kids?
Now that would be great. -
Apple is producing USB-C EarPods for the iPhone 15
Seems to me they'll get lots of sales on non-Apple platforms too. The selection of USB-C buds is not great, and the ones that I've used are generally bass-boosted crap. I'm sure there's good ones out there, but like everything, with Apple you can at least be sure they won't completely suck.
Just hope they do the same for in-ear, as the original in-ear buds from Apple remain the best non-NC headphone's I've used. -
Google Bard: Adequate, but Microsoft Bing blows it away
Can someone try something for me? I always do this on a new chat AI, but Bard does not work in Canada.
"what is the number of neutrons in a liter of water"
My previous results:
Bing: there are no neutrons in a liter of water
ChatGPT 3.5: 556 neutrons in a liter of water
ChatGPT 4.0: close to the correct number, off by 2x
So very curious what Bard says.
