  • Apple Glass will get custom Apple Silicon tailored for low power & camera control

    Basic common sense to let the ultra powerful iPhones do all the heavy-lifting and Bluetooth them to the glasses. That way the frames can be ultra slim, metal or like regular glasses instead of all of the current manufacturers going down the JOE 90 route.

  • New in iOS 18.5: changes to Mail, Screen Time, Pride Harmony wallpaper

    Tim Cook agenda. Yawn.

    Just fix the darn Sequoia interface!

    Bring back dynamic Top Menu bar on multiple monitors (like it was in Mojave).

    Work better with Thunderbolt interfaces, especially only multi-monitor set-ups.

    Stop compressing all windows and palettes for
    MacBooks only.

    Bring back Windowshade / Windowmizer, instead of this nonsense with windows retreating off-stage by default.

  • Every Intel Mac mini is now obsolete or vintage, and will be missed

    Glad to see the back of Intel Mac Minis.  Many’s a day I spent trying to fix those d4mn things for the people who had bought them,  A total ‘mare, more often than not.  They were no MacPro 5,1. Good riddance!

  • China escalates US tariff war by halting rare earth mineral exports

    surgefiltersurgefilter
    I wondered how long China would wait to play their uh, Trump card with the rare earth metals.  Boom!  They dropped the mic and left the room.  

    This will hit Taiwan and TSMC more than anything, and everyone connected to them, or who buys from them.  Majority of the world’s chips come from them.

    This is the first real restriction that now affects everybody in the world, even India with their electronics production. 

    China can do this all day long for the rest of the Donald’s tenure. Will be interesting to see if Trump has his own Ace, of which there’ll be very few now.

    It will take 3-and-a-half MAGA Presidents’ terms to fully realise his vision.  Don’t think most Americans will accept the hardship past the short term and this year.

  • Trump's 'Liberation Day' tariffs hit every one of Apple's international manufacturing part...

    surgefiltersurgefilter
    It will take between 7 - 15 years to see factories Stateside.  That’s 3.5 MAGA Presidents required to bear fruit.  

    So of JD Vance gets 2 terms, and Don Jr gets a term then Trump might get his way… but he’ll be in his doddery doating 90s by then.

    Meanwhile the Hedge Fund Managers will be betting AGAINST it all and making Billion$, including, I’m sure the Trump Family.

    ^^That, my dear Apple Friends… the real play here.
