American Express doesn't seem that interested in an Apple Card partnership
Good, because I see no value in having an American Express card. They're not accepted most places any more, probably because their merchant fees are exorbitant.

Apple's new AirPods Pro 2 firmware is here for USB-C and Lightning models
caladanian said:Why Apple has no «new firmware available, update now?» pop-up when you open the case or some other place is beyond me.Probably because the firmware updates don't really change anything you'll notice, so there's no real need for any kind of user interaction.Am I happy about this? Of course not, in fact I'd like to see a legal requirement that ALL firmware updates include release notes, a way for users to disable them, and a way for users to revert to any earlier firmware of their choosing at any time. Users who don't care should be able to set to automatic updates, the rest of us should be able to make our own decision about what firmware we want installed.

Apple refuses to recognize Southampton store union, staff pushes forward anyway
I'm not familiar with Limey labor law, so I have no idea how the process works.But good on the union for not giving up and keeping up the fight to protect Apple employees!

Apple wants to add a flashlight to future Apple Watches
Yep, yet another garbage patent that should have been rejected for being obvious to the average village idiot, let alone someone "skilled in the art".Xed said:This is simply a small flashlight that attaches to your Apple Watch. I'm wondering what about this is unique enough to be patented. These have been around for many years for a variety of products, albeit larger than is shown in the patent.

iPhone 15 Pro review three months later: Worth every penny
It's a whole lot of new "meh".The only big new thing that's really great about the 15 is the switch to USB C. I wouldn't even consider the "pro" model, the 15+ (in black, because the other colors suck) would be the only one I'd even bother looking at. I do not need fancy cameras in my phone, the camera in the 5 was good enough for everything I need, and it doesn't have a stupid camera bulge, give me that in a large screen phone please.And add an easily swappable battery and headphone jack. I'm fine if it's a few ounces heavier, I won't even notice.
