  • New HomePod part leak shows off glossy display cover

    The display doesn't interest me as mine Gen 1 HPs are on a shelf out of normal foot traffic. Will the new HPs have something that interests me? Not likely. I'm sure there will be cool features, but nothing that will make me pop for new ones.

    I'm waiting to throw the switch on an AVPro, so most any other Apple gear will distract me from that goal.

  • Protesters close Chicago Apple Store over Palestinian employee firing

    Apple management at that store did make a bad decision — allowing employees to wear pro— political jewelry. Granting permission makes it tough to rescind it.

    Make political statements off the clock. Not on it. Did Apple give Espinoza the opportunity to conform to a required dress code? IDK. If offered the opportunity, did Espinoza comply or refuse? IDK. She asked permission and it was granted on two instances, according to the story.

    I would think store management would consider that fact before terminating someone's employment. Did they? Again the article doesn't say. If Apple said they changed their mind, and show up for work tomorrow, politically unadorned, then that's what employees would need to do. I'd want to know more before vilifying Apple or giving them a pass.

  • Apple Watch Series 10 rumored to offer limited blood pressure monitoring

    Poorly written article at best.. “the "holy grails" of non-invasive blood pressure”.  Since when has blood pressure measurement been invasive?!  Maybe the author should look for a new physician.
    It's invasive as in having to prick your finger to get blood to take a real reading.  Non-Invasive is not having to do that.  There are a few patches you can get these days, but it is still invasive, but you leave the needle in guess, and safe for a number of days?   I'm not an expert in this area.  Even that would be invasive.  
    Cleary. What ralphie said.

  • 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.
