  • Apple sends invitations for 'iPhone 7' event on Sept. 7: 'See you on the 7th'

    "See you" means iPhone looks at you(r Retina) and unlocks?

  • 'iPhone 7' expected to continue Apple's normal naming conventions, no 'Pro' model

    macapfelmacapfel
    A 'Pro'-Phone would simply be a silly naming convention. For whom could that be? Secretaries? Stock Brokers? Pokemon go Players?

    Lightning on PCs is not required, as long as Apple adds a lighting to jack adapter to the iPhone Box – which they most likely would do, so people can use lighting headphones on their PCs as well.
    They are not going to include the adapter. It will be an optional purchase. Quite frankly, not everyone needs the adapter...quite frankly, most do not need the adapter. The phone will ship with Lightning EarPods.

    Apple isn't going to giveaway an expensive adapter that most recipients simply do not need. You way overestimate how Apple cares about whether or not you can use their Made-Specifically-For-iPhone EarPods, with PCs. Or even Macs.

    It's not even debatable. Just run the numbers. How many iPhone 7 will ship? How many of those people even own a Mac? 5%? 10%? They're gonna give away hundreds of millions of adapters to people without Macs? Possibly without PC's at all? If you think so, you simply don't know Apple...or you don't know how to separate your needs from the rest of the world.
    I do see the point, and I think you're right with this argument. Actually, I don't care too much, and don't think this could be a big thing. The jack connector will be replaced at some point. Too old a technique. If it's not now, it will be soon enough.

    Do you honestly think that that approach is even remotely acceptable? More adapters?
    That's not ok for the average human, at all.
    Well, Apple certainly appears as an adapter company. Who else can compete with Apple in this arena?

  • Apple discontinues Thunderbolt Display, no replacement announced

    macapfelmacapfel
    Apple released a gold AppleWatch for certainly a very limited audience. They for sure should be able to keep a Display, and if it's only for the sake of a nice design!! I hate sitting in front of crappy display designs!
