  • Canadian sues Apple over Apple Watch scratches that he made [u]

    Ok, that wording is for the current Apple Watch Edition - the ceramic version that is the most expensive design having replaced the original Gold Edition watches. 
    So plantif has Apple Watch Edition? May well have a case then. 

    Wife and I both have stainless steel series 0, her with Milanese loop in 38mm and me with stainless steel link band in 42mm. I recently upgraded to a series two SS but kept my link band. 
    Zero scratches on our sapphire displays, perfect, like new. Many small micro abrasion style scratches in the stainless steel case, as expected like on normal watches with this finish.

  • Intel CEO Brian Krzanich resigns amidst relationship scandal

    Also, he is married with two daughters. It’s not a good look for a CEO. 
    If he were unmarried and there was no company policy against this, fine. But that’s not the case. 

    And for those saying he’s dropped the ball, well, maybe he has... but it was on Paul Otellini’s watch that Intel declined to make ARM chips for iPhone, and then actually sold all their ARM IP away. Apple Newton ran on Intel StrongARM RISC. Intel ditching arm just before the iPhone reignited the smartphone industry is in my opinion one of the company’s biggest blunders ever.

  • Google's $649 5" Pixel 2, $849 6" Pixel 2 XL smartphones want to be your main squeeze, wit...

    Doesn’t the non-Plus model of iPhone have OIS now? As far as I can tell there wasn’t some major design change to accommodate it. Seems more likely than not that it was exclusive to the Plus model as an upsell. 
    Last year’s iPhone 7 gained OIS in the smaller phone. Along with water resistance.

    Removing the jack isn’t the problem. At least they’ve included an adaptor. 
    The problem is they’re being cheap asses and not including any earphones in the box at all. 
    Can you imagine if Apple had launched the (truely wireless) AirPods at $159 and had no normal earphones in the box with the phones? Yet no one is complaining. 

    No dual cameras. Fake software depth mode will look average. No wireless charging. “Up to 3 years of software updates*” Well I’m running iOS 11.0.2 just fine on my 4 year old iPhone 5s. With AirPods and Apple Watch. 

    Hey - isn’t this site Apple Insider? Why all the google press release posts?
