  • Magic Keyboard, Magic Trackpad, & Magic Mouse may soon be upgraded with USB-C

    Why can’t Apple just make a WIRED extended keyboard?
    I don’t want mor3 things to charge. It seems like life revolves around charging various devices.
    iPhone, iPad, a number of LED lights scattered around the house, portable vacuum, camera batteries… 

    Sometimes wired is just plain simple4 and better.

    I got a Matias backlit extended keyboard that’s just great.

  • You can no longer sign up for Disney+ and Hulu via the App Store

    I have been buying Disney annually through the App Store precisely because of its easy cancellation policies, which I haven’t needed to use.

    Dear Disney: I’m cancelling my annual subscription, and will now sign up for only the months the one show I really need from your service is on (Doctor Who), and cancel as soon as it’s over. Indeed, won’t I get a free week or month or something going this route every year?

    Nose. Cutting. Spite. Face.
    That's what I've done with Peacock in the past.
    Sign up only for Le Tour de France and la Vuelta España. Then it's arrivederci.

    This year they stopped offering the ad-free international feed for meathead 'Murikan football style coverage, so I bailed for FloSports.

  • Ticketmaster adopts new iOS 18 Apple Wallet features

    Recently in my travels, there have been a number of museums I visited that use the GetYourGuide app.
    It seems similar to what Ticketmaster is attempting to do.

  • Robotic Apple Home Hub could have square display

    A smaller version of the G4 iMac would be awesome!
    That was my first thought, too!
     
    The G4 iMac was cool and fun to look at. I liked the G4 Mac Cube, too. 
    I had a couple of clients that had both of those Macs.

    It was great the Apple experimented with Mac form factors.
    Now everything is a commodity, which is kinda boring.

  • Touch screen issues hit iPhone 16 Pro and older models

    Since upgrading my iPad Pro 11" and iPhone 13 Pro to iOS 18, I've noticed unrecognized taps.
    It seemed like apps freezing.
    If I switch to another app, then back it would go away. In browsers, reloading pages seemed to unfreeze them.
    Not great.

    Hopefully Apple fixes this soon.

    I usually wait for the first bug-fix update before upgrading. Bad on me.
