Apple TV+ has a lot of content coming in 2024
I’ve been trying to figure out if there’s a way in the TV app, as there is in every other streaming app I know, to keep track of which episodes I’ve already watched. It only gives me a button to watch the first episode, and otherwise I have to go through the vague episode descriptions and try to figure out which ones I’ve already seen. It’s hard to believe Apple doesn’t have a solution for this, but I don’t see it, nor do I see any “keep watching” category. Am I missing something?coolfactor said:
Navigating the TV app these days requires a college degree. I can't image how non-savvy folks manage it.

Morgan Stanley sees AAPL earnings as clearing event to refocus investors
One thing I haven’t seen mentioned much is the potential upside from iPad updates in the last weeks of the current quarter. This is the longest Apple has ever gone without an iPad update, and the current user base is probably the largest it’s ever been, so the pent up demand could be significant. I know I’ll be getting one ASAP. I don’t have any inside knowledge of the timing of the next update, but I’m hoping for and expecting an early/mid-March announcement and a mid/late-March release.

Why Apple Vision Pro in 2024 won't be like 1984
Might be time to update the DED bio—he’s been an AI contributor since 2005, but a journalist for only the last 15 years? -
Apple Watch blood oxygen feature helps doctor save air passenger's life
I think Omasou is pointing out that Masimo is complaining that Apple is using their tech, and simultaneously complaining that the tech Apple is using (Masimo’s tech) is not very good.williamh said:
You can make assertions all you want but that doesn't make them true. Why do would a thinking person just take "according to Masimo" at face value?omasou said:
Joe Kiani, the CEO of Masimo who contends Apple infringes on his company's patents, said in an interview on January 18 that Apple is "masquerading what they are offering to consumers as a reliable, medical pulse oximeter, even though it's not." Kiani maintains "I really feel wholeheartedly that consumers are better off without it."quakerotis said:It's not Apple's, it's Masimo's.
According to Masimo:
Apple's implementation is infringing on Masimo patent = T
Apple tech is neither a reliable and/or medical pulse oximeter = T
Then a simple truth table says T + T = T and therefore Masimo implementation is neither a reliable and/or medical pulse oximeter.
We could add According to Masimo:
Apple is "masquerading what they are offering to consumers as a reliable, medical pulse oximeter, even though it's not." = F
From the article (you would know if you read it): Apple advises on its website that the measurements found in the watchOS Blood Oxygen app are "not intended for medical use," and are designed only for "general fitness and wellness purposes."
Kiani maintains "I really feel wholeheartedly that consumers are better off without it." = F
Ok, it's true that he maintains it but he is wrong. According to the article, a DOCTOR on the flight said ""The Apple Watch helped me to find out the patient had low oxygen saturation." Do you know better, Dr. Omasou?

YouTube and Spotify also won't offer any apps on Apple Vision Pro
To offer support at this point, you’d need to be reasonably confident that 1) a lot of people will buy the $3500 AVP and use it a lot, 2) a decent percentage of those people will want to use your app with it, 3) the app experience would be far superior to what you can offer through a browser, and 4) all of these things will combine to justify the expense of development and ongoing support. It’s a tall order, especially when you can always wait a bit and see how things go.
