  • iOS 18 gains new slow charger warning in battery settings

    I think warns is a bit of a strong word.  It's more like identifies.

    Two Cents: Charing at higher power levels is more harmful to the battery than lower levels due to heat.   How much?  I have no idea.   All I know if wireless charging might as well be called wireless heating because my phone gets dang hot when I use it.   

    Manage your charging below 80% and your battery will last longer.  Convenience charge whenever you can, like when driving, sitting at your desk, or just using your phone on the couch.   Disconnect at 80% and try not to go below 20%.    If you know you're going to be away from a charger all day, charge to 100% and remove the phone and start using it as soon as it hits 100.

    This has been my TED talk.

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

    Is it visionary or is it just wishful thinking and fiction to imagine products before technology exists that can even do a fraction of what is needed even at any cost?   

    There are no vacuum tube cell phones.   There are no nuclear-powered homes.   There are no jet packs and no anti-gravity trains.  

    But it’s fun to think of those things.

  • iPad finally has a Calculator app - Here's everything it can do

    I’m kinda bewildered (more than usual) about what took so long. 
    Craig Federighi stated, "Next, I want to talk about a feat that some have concluded must be a mathematical impossibility. That's right, we're bringing calculator to iPad (yay)."

    And then on the switch to MacOS with his Spaceballs stunt double parkouring down to the floor below made me lol. B)

  • This TikTok user got conned by fake AirPods Pro, but you don't have to get fooled

    What does being a "Tiktok User" have anything to do with this? It sounds more like the author is (not so) subtly trying to throw shade on TikTok. If the user had eaten oatmeal for breakfast the article title could have read "Oatmeal Eater Got conned ..." i.e. a hidden warning not to eat oatmeal.
    Nope. Not throwing shade at TikTok. The person who bought the fake earbuds recorded a video which they posted to TikTok, and which gained traction. 
    Also, as much as I admit oatmeal is a decent breakfast for some, I do side with more sugary stuff... 
    Eff Tik Tok.  And anything posted complaining is clickbait.  It’s all fake clickbait-look-at-me-I’m-an-attention-whore garbage.  Boo hoo!!!

  • Apple's durability testing is way more than a YouTuber can manage

    One thing about all of this testing, not matter what it is:  It only proves that the device in question passes that exact test as it was performed and doesn't indicate any other specific result or condition that may vary from those methods.  

    Sure, it's a start, but it's impossible to test for all possible ways to drop a phone, wet a phone, etc.   Obviously, passing a barrage of tests is better than not passing the same exact tests.
