  • Apple updates MagSafe support with medical device warning

    Would be nice if future medical devices had a standardized, secure beacon that would notify magnetic chargers and related impacted technology to auto-disable when within a prescribed proximity. 

    Not sure if HW designs permits, but if so, perhaps Apple could offer MagSafe disablement setting for people who have such devices.

  • Warner Bros exec JP Richards named Apple TV+ head of marketing strategy

    Could Apple buy a major theater chain, reinvent them as Apple Centers for the Arts & Technology and show theatrical films, concerts, TED-like talks, standup. etc? Or would there be antitrust issues?

    The film release strategy could be thirty to forty-five days in their theaters, followed by migration to Apple TV as exclusive content.

    This will be of high interest to major film makers who are increasingly untrustworthy of studios/streamers diminishing the theatrical experience (WB being the latest), and perhaps would be seen to be the best of both worlds for many of them to move to production deals with Apple. So the long term play here is content ownership, even though it would be a loss at the start. I'm guessing AMC is (relatively) dirt cheap now...

    Apple could integrate some level of interactive or pre/post event services/content into the experiences, and have technology showcases in most or all of the locations to showcase their products and related talent, "behind the curtain" educational/informational pods, etc. They could offer an outlet for local schools and colleges to put on performances and art showcases.

    Remember, Apple is at the intersection of ...

    I will believe Apple is stupid enough to dilute the brand by selling cars when I see it.
