  • Apple gearing up for fall launch of new two new AirPods models

    So far the AirPods 1 and 2 fit my ears perfectly for being out and about. The AP 3 fit ok if I don't move my head, yawn, eat or drink. They're a step back in fit for me but they do sound better than the 2.

    The Pro don't work at all for me. So I'm not particularly hopeful that a new design with an improved fit will actually have an improved fit. But I'll give them a try if they are released.

  • Apple will surrender less than a day of earnings to satisfy class action suit

    This lawsuit was due to Cook allegedly lying about the sale slowdown in China to investors.

    There is no proof he lied, only supposition that detractors chose to see as fact, when it wasn't proven.

    That it wasn't proven doesn't mean he didn't lie.
    That it wasn't proven doesn't mean he did lie.
    That Apple settled doesn't 
    mean he did lie.

    We'll never know if he did or didn't so we can pick a side and call it victory or cash grab, and move on.

  • HoloLens 2 swapped for Apple Vision Pro in UK spinal fusion operation

    tmay said:
    What I got from the article, is that a nurse with zero or little experience with the HoloLens 2, would not be able to work in the surgical theater, but the same nurse would be able to use the VP version of the app and would be considered proficient to work in the surgical theater. 

    It appears as if the UI of the VP is the reason for this.
    What I got from the article is that a scrub nurse with little experience with any particular doctor could use the Holo Lens 2 to compensate for that making working in theatre "fun and enjoyable".

    The same nurse found using the AVP a "game changer" somehow, doing the same job. I don't see anything that implies or states that someone needs experience with the HL2 to use it and they don't with the AVP.

    The article merely states that she was already familiar with the HL2 and not that she went into theatre immediately after unboxing the AVP. It may be the UI, the hardware, or both. More details would be better.

    As with some of you, I'd like to know exactly what goggles of any brand bring to the table. Anything that makes an operation go more smoothly is a good thing for people on both ends of the scalpel.

  • The United States cellular network struggled the morning of February 22

    The signal that others were missing meant more for me! This morning I had three - THREE bars on my phone. Normally I'm lucky to get 1.5 bars on ATT. The snappy was nice while it lasted.  :D

    In some cases with an iPhone 14 or iPhone 15, users are seeing the SOS notification in the upper-right hand corner of the screen where the signal strength meter normally is. That's an indicator of no cell service, but access to the SOS over Satellite feature.Read on AppleInsider


    That SOS indicator has nothing to do with the "Satellite" feature. Shows up on every phone when there is no cell signal.
    No it shows up when you're not connected to a network. That's not the same as having no signal.

    Not connected to a network, there's still the possibility to make emergency/911 calls. That's why the SOS or SOS Only indicator. With no cell signal there would be no SOS or SOS emergency/911 option, only No Service.

    The exception would be an iPhone 14 or 15 with its ability to make satellite calls. Those phones with no network access would also show either SOS or SOS Only, I don't know which. But their satellite function might be viable. With no cell signal, their satellite function could still be viable but no idea if there would be an SOS indicator or No Service indicator as with no network access.
