  • 'iPhone 14 Pro' hole-punch and pill could be bigger than first thought

    Who cares? Apple knows what the hell it’s doing. They have the best designers and engineers on the planet. If it’s a certain size, there’s obviously an important and functional reason for that. As much as people initially mocked the notch, history has shown its a non issue.

  • Tesla design chief takes shot at Apple, claims there's 'nothing to look forward to'

    slurpyslurpy
    Tesla execs shitting on Apple is nothing new. They've realized it gets them attention, makes them seem like they've above Apple, and some gullible people who don't know any better might actually believe them. It's petty, pathetic, sad, and classless, and trashy - but this is kind of the norm coming from Tesla execs and spokespeople. I wouldn't trust anyone who confidently claims that Apple products are not inspiring, and that they're "nothing to look forward to" as if he has the faintest clue in the world of what he's talking about. Yep, the M1, M1 Pro, new MacBooks, new iMac, new Mac Pros, etc etc - just "slight refinements". Also, Tesla has the luxury of making minor updates to their line (which is 3 products) every several years, while annual needs to make annual updates to dozens of products, and maintain everything from the hardware, to the software, apps, ecosystem, cloud services, etc. Telsa is doing some good things, but they need to STFU sometimes.

  • Knitters support Epic in knotty legal fight with Apple's App Store

    Knitting? Apple is finished now. 

    What a bunch of douchebags. Want access to billions of customers from the most lucrative marketplace on the planet yet don’t want to pay for it.

  • Dubious 'iPhone 15' SIM tray removal rumor given weight by leakers

    Well, that is show stopper if you want to travel to foreign country and use store purchased SIM card with local phone number. Not all providers support eSIM. Good luck with iPhone. Want to know how much roaming and data services cost overseas even if you enable special travel program? Just check with AT&T, Verizon or T-Mobile. Learn for yourself. It looks like Apple would not leave people any option, but buy Android. Heck, some of them still may allow even flash card to extend storage memory unlike iPhone.
    Maybe you shouldn’t worry so much about the iPhone 15 when the 14 is still almost a year away? What ridiculous and obvious concern trolling. Right, I’m sure people are gonna switch to Android en mass, because today’s Apple makes such irrational decisions, right?

    Oh, and expandable storage stopped being a selling point on mobile devices a long time ago. Nobody gives a shit, and every single metric proves that. But keep beating that dead horse.

    This fairy tale story is typical Zoe Schiffer styles. Allegedly a dozen people were interviewed, which even if true would not allow any reliable conclusions about the actual situation. The anecdotes are told in sensational boulewardesque language, and Schiffer doesn't even shy away from gleefully exploiting the fate of a suicide victim. Hearsay gossip alternates with pseudo-causal assertions and crude speculations. Schiffer tries to place the big exposé story about Apple's being an oh-so-awful exploitative company after her crashing bust with #AppleToo, in which her three supposed whistleblowers turned out to be greedy job-jumping severance hunters. With the (for sure unselfish) help of other media scribblers, she might well succeed in collecting some fame again. For example, to promote her book, for which she calls on employees of various companies to break their NDAs and disclose them. Anonymously, of course. This is the new type of journalist. Sneaky, hungry for sensationalism and always looking out for their own advantage.  :/

    You fucking nailed it. Sensational and trash "reporting", drawing conclusions from a dozen people as if that means anything. And those behind the #Appletoo movement were anything but honest, objective, sane people. Their motives were purely selfish and seeking attention and clout, while attempting to publicly tear down Apple's reputation using sensational language and outright lies (APPLE TRIED TO POISON ME!!).
