    F1 is available now as it’s own streaming service.  I’ve considered getting it. So this “deal” could mean that eventually the only place to get F1 would be on Apple ??    Not sure i like that. 
    Well, this is a streaming deal. My guess is that Sky would retain the broadcast rights they have now, which likely means you could still watch it on ESPN (in the US), but probably not streamed on ESPN.

    Titanium looks great — when it’s new. But its surface hardness is poor, making Ti a scratch magnet. Hardness can be improved by applying a suitable coating, such as the black DLC on my Series 5 Apple Watch, which still looks new. But then, of course, it also looks like any other black finished metal.
    Depends on what Titanium alloy they are using. For example, grade 2 Ti alloy is relatively soft but grade 5 and grade 23 (medical grade) are much harder than grade 2.

  • Oceanic+ Dive Housing turns iPhone into an underwater camera & dive computer

    Why does the case pump the air out? Doesn’t this increase the pressure differential (leak potential) during a dive?
    A quick search unearthed this bit for another product: "By creating negative pressure inside the housing and monitoring the vacuum pressure, the AirLock will verify your housing is leak-proof before you even jump in the water." So, apparently, it allows one to verify that the seal is working properly before taking it in the water.

    Just checked Apple’s leadership team profiles on https://www.apple.com/leadership/. Did I miss something? I don’t see Mark Gurman’s profile anywhere on that site. Where does he sit in Apple’s leadership team that decides the execution of Apple’s product strategy?
    Word is that Gurman, and other Bloomberg writers, get paid a bonus for articles that move a company's stock price. He and others there have a financial incentive to make provocative statements (remember the now entirely debunked Big Hack article that Bloomberg never retracted?) to try and affect the stock price. By couching them as hypotheticals they avoid the hits their credibility ought to take.

    The bottom line is that anything published by Bloomberg must be taken with a very large grain of salt.
    So in other words, Apple Insider is spreading misinformation. 
    They're reporting on rumors, which is what they do. They marked it as possible, not likely. So, no, your mischaracterization of what Apple Insider is doing doesn't hold water.

    I believe what you're talking about with Microsoft, is their infamous use of spreading F.U.D. throughout the industry to keep clients from buying a competitors product. 
    Hey, credit where credit is due: IBM invented FUD.
