After 11 years of work, people actually like Apple Maps
Good grief. Sometimes you think that it's so obvious that there is no reason for a sarcasm tag, then someone proves you wrong.igorsky said:
In this scenario it sounds like you’re the danger on the road.barthrh said:I find Apple Maps dangerous. Here's why: You're driving along with them on CarPlay and you come up to a complex intersection. The map zooms in and it looks so mind-blowingly amazing I find it hard to keep my eyes on the real road. The renderings, down to the complex markings at some intersections, are just so nice.

Apple announces new Music, Podcasts, and Maps features coming in the fall
SharePlay for car passengers is brilliant. This allows anyone in the car to queue up music without needing to hand over the connected phone or change the CarPlay connection.

iCloud Shared Photo Library vs. Shared Albums in Photos
You missed the most important reason to use the Shared Library: When using a shared album, photos are reduced to 2048 pixels on the long edge, except panoramic photos, which can be up to 5400 pixels wide. For reference, the back camera of an iPhone captures at 3024x4032. Digital SLRs just move up from there. As a result, every picture gets knocked down in resolution.If you want to share photos as originals, don't use shared albums.

Peloton could be bought by Apple to boost healthcare initiatives
Agree. I like Peloton and their product (I have one). The instructors are top notch. The hardware is excellent and creates great stickiness. The issue is that if they roll Peloton into Fitness+, subscription revenue disappears, like my $40-$50/mo. Even if theses are new subscribers, it's still as drop in revenue unless they retain a separate fee for the bike / tread classes. So they get talent; whatever, there is a lot of talent out there. It's worth something, but not the billions they'd need to pay, in my opinion. Way cheaper to selectively poach instructors with signing bonuses.GeorgeBMac said:Apple already has a raft of classes and excellent instructors -- and they are continually building and improving on that.And, like you say, Apple would not want their hardware.So, what's left? A couple million subscribers who would have to buy Apple equipment anyway? Why bother?
