  • Apple TV with a camera is the rumor that will never die

    They should have shipped a real TV years ago and that's where the camera would sit perfectly. Make it a clip on magnetic affair with its own wifi and let users stick where they want (in case they don't want it on the TV) or just remove it for complete privacy.

    The nonsense about the TV business being a low margin industry has nothing to do with premium offerings that do far more than regular TVs. 


    When it's all said and done I think people will feel like Gene Munster was right on this one and that  Apple should have just made  2levels of TV (50,65 inch) and added the necessary Apple.    

    Dan Moren last week wrote an article about the rather strange place that the Apple TV in and most of his sentiment I totally agree with.

  • Future iPhone may get displays and controls on the edges

    I often pick up my phone and the way I grab it enables the screencapture.  There are limits to value of having controls in surfaces that invite inadvertent touching.   I also found this to be a problem with touch headphones as well.

  • Decade-old Apple Car project may be completely dead

    EV are just fine.  They're not going anywhere.    All the issues (aside from cold weather and that's easily fixable)  will be rectified with Solid State batteries which will produce either double the power for a given weight or today's power in half the weight which eliminates much of the weight issues of EV as well as thermal runaway. 

    Apple is smart to get out of cars because it's not a core competency.    Apple barely does a good job repairing their computers and car repairs are another level of stress.  I think they should continue to embed their IP into the nervous system of a car and the user interaction with the driver.  That's what Apple excels at.

    I never understood why anyone would put a screen on an AI speaker? If I need a screen then the AI failed and is unable to execute via voice.

    Then consider how lazy we are as a society. Why would I get up and walk over to it? I already have a phone in my pocket or tablet in my hand. I'll use that and the speaker can confirm.

    The only reason, I can see that Google attempted a device like this is b/c they had a ton of tablets that no one wanted and used them to create yet another failed product. /s
