    So much for a periscope lens (with continuous zoom).  Analysts and rumors sites sure missed the mark on that one.  Worst (non)event ever.
    i don't think so, i think it's to do with yields and quality controls, my thoughts is apple is not yet satisfied with that, i think it'll be in next years pro max or ultra

    urghhh i really wanted to upgrade to the pro max for the usb c.

    but i really cant justify it. disappointing.

    next year i will

    better i think, as next year they'll pass usb 3 speeds onto non pro's, while pro's will get thunderbolt 3/4 i think, if apple's usual pattern in these things holds up with passing down enhancements over time, also, they've really got no choice but to do that next year, as in december 2024 the EU's common port comes into effect. yes technically apple could try to wait until 2025, as they introduce phones in september and the law will only apply for new devices introduced from december 2024 onwards, but i think it's a save bet that next years phones will get fester charging and faster usb all around....

  • Apple's iMessage gets a reprieve from EU digital gatekeeper law

    daveflashdaveflash
    The EU is getting ridiculous. They’re stinging from the Irish tax case loss, companies like Nokia & Ericsson becoming irrelevant and the fact US tech companies are responsible/required for virtually 100% of computing tech. You can’t build a computer or mobile device without at least several technologies from US  companies (CPU, GPU, OS).

    I saw an article today that EuroHPC has built another supercomputer using AMD EPYC processors. I’ve previously said the US should retaliate against German automakers (maybe a tariff or force them to open their gatekeeper infotainment systems). Maybe they should stop selling processors to the EU unless they’re only used in consumer PCs. Let’s see EU countries try to build there supercomputers without help from the US.

    Yeah. And what would the US do without access to ASML? 
    haha yes, i was just about to say that! With that logic we the Dutch should also block EUV and DUV lithography-machine exports by ASML to US companies like TexasInstruments, Qualcomm, Intel and AMD, just like the US gov't has forced us to do this year against Chinese companies!

  • Three iPhone 15 models rumored to get Thunderbolt/USB4 connector

    this to me points to only one thing: Apple finally taking the EU seriously for once and also taking their previous letter of complaint that "any artificial (software) limitations the common port" are "not in line with the regulation" to heart. thus acting accordingly, so my suspicion is that all iPhone 15's will have fast data transfer and fast charging / power delivery / quick charge etc.

    In the end this is better for the user, and in the long run better for the planet.
    If only USA could catch up to the laws and regulations of the EU on these things....

    We aren’t talking very high bandwidth here at all. Why would it enable removing the port?
    because Apple wants to fuck Europe over, as we're about to agree on a universal port for all mobile/wireless devices that will be mandatory across the board to reduce e-waste, most likely it will be USB-C, but if you ask me, as a European, it's politics, and also 10 years too late. but I guess we'll see. *shrug*
