  • GM ditching CarPlay & Android Auto for Google-built infotainment system

    mknelson said:
    I can understand not allowing next gen CarPlay to take over the full dash like some other brands are, but dropping CarPlay entirely as an option seems like a bad choice.
    This is letting the ad company that love eating customer data take over the full dash instead.  The ideal mode would be to let customers decide which they prefer. I believe Apple’s solutions does that. This does not.

    It ain't cheap, but if you need it for work, it's the standard and you gotta pay.
    I have a friend who is an engineer and one invoice for a single project can usually cover the full month for his entire team.

  • Apple accused of retribution in firing five union activists

    sunman42 said:
    Yeah, those Apple retail workers who start at $22/hour and already have a ton of benefits sure do need a union. They’re being treated so badly! Shame on your Apple for paying retail workers well above minimum wage and providing all those other benefits that most other retail jobs don’t. I go to the Apple store frequently and from what I can see, most of them get paid just to stand around and chat with each other.
    I'm going to assume this post is from a bot that never tried to live on a minimum wage. Minimum wage is not a living wage, or even anywhere close to it. The lack of empathy for people who actually have to work for a living (even if, when the Store's not busy, they dare to speak to one another) bespeaks a robotic lack of concern for actual human beings.

    AppleInsider should screen the comments for bot products.
    I think the point is that Apple pays their retail employees far beyond market rates for retail and offers benefits few in retail besides management would get. Also when most retail stores were closed and there were no checks coming to employees, Apple kept them whole while they sat at home.

  • Apple employees fear MR headset could be an expensive flop

    The $3,000 price point is utterly unworkable. That alone should have caused Apple to simply not release this device. When Apple launched the iPad, the genius of that product, the one element that launched widespread interest in tablets was an excellent price. There were tablets before the iPad but none that delivered a decent, useful product at the right price point. 

    Simply put, $3,000 is not the right price point for any personal media consumption device. This thing is dead on arrival. 
    For what it is supposed to be, $3000 is the right price. It is to have 10 times the technology built into it. It is the new Lisa that the 21st century Macintosh equivalent will be based on down the road. 

    They can only go so far in secret and need it in the wild to develop it further. They also need more developers with access for more feedback.

  • Epic CEO fears Apple's influence over the metaverse

    If this looser didn’t keep Apple’s name in his mouth every time he gets a microphone in front of him, we would have never heard of him or would have long forgotten him.
