  • Ultimate showdown: New Apple Pencil USB-C vs old Apple Pencils

    Maybe I misunderstand the market for Apple Pencil, but this has always seemed like a fairly specialized accessory for a certain segment of iPad users, but not something that the mass market wants or needs... which makes it bewildering that we now have THREE Pencil models in the lineup. Was there really a target group of potential buyers holding out for a stripped down model at the $79 price point that loses a couple of the Pencil's most desirable features?! And $79 still ain't cheap for an accessory! SMH. 
    It's a real "nice to have" with an iPad that supports it. I have an original Pro 12.9 and the pencil is great for doing scratch calculations, a "back of the envelope" diagram, or even doing some degree of PDF markup (I assume it's way better w/ iOS 17 PDF editing, though I have not tried. Not essential, but I wouldn't be without one now that I've had one.

    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.
    In this scenario it sounds like you’re the danger on the road. 
    Good grief. Sometimes you think that it's so obvious that there is no reason for a sarcasm tag, then someone proves you wrong.

  • 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

    barthrhbarthrh
    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.
