    Seems like a logical evolution and development path. iPads have offered cell connection for many generations; but not so with MacBooks. Perhaps this will change things.

    And maybe...put one into an ATV? And the ATV becomes the new Airport? drool.
    Hehe, yup!

    Outside of the obvious laptops, cell modems should go into the Apple TV, Mac mini, Mac Studio, HomePod, HomePod mini and AirPods Max. I'd even say AirPods Pro if I thought one could be put in there. Hmm, maybe it could be in the AirPods case and a Bluetooth connection between the AirPods and case provides Internet service?

    This sort of thing makes you think that Apple should offer MVNO services for their buyers too. Have sat-comm, VPN and guaranteed E2EE services as part of the MVNO services product.
    This. When it appears from Apple, they will need to shut up and take my money.

  • Apple confirms that Apple Intelligence Siri features are taking longer than expected

    I simply don't go back to unreliable products. I don't use Apple Maps anywhere but on CarPlay. Even then, I have a healthy dose of skepticism. There is very little I trust Siri to do; and none of it is critical stuff. It is just a product I have no interest in or use for. I'm not surprised they can't make it work, and really....if you bought an iPhone 16 based on their claims...you're rather naive. Yes, YMMV, and the world is welcome to all of this...if they can make it work for them. I gave up, and won't try again.

  • Apple customers start receiving the iPhone 16e

    My wife was a launch day customer. It is the perfect phone for her, and a nice upgrade from the SE2. Setup was fast and slick. A great value, and just perfect for her and her needs. 

    iPhone has come a long way since i got my first iPhone 3GS. No, I'm not the target customer for AI (and neither is my spouse) but what we do use and like on these devices works perfectly.

  • Apple could have sold me an iPhone SE 4, but it won't sell me the iPhone 16e

    TL; DR. But I'll be up in the morning early to place an order for one.
