  • Ordering Apple Vision Pro gets more complex with face scan

    This is a reminder than even businesses who might have the money to purchase something like this will be even less likely to do so, because it can't even be shared among employees. And when employees turn over, major hassle to get the next one fitted. As others pointed out, the second hand market will be tiny and those that do purchase used ones (and ignore sizing) will have a less than ideal experience with it.

    There will be keen interest in this product, but not enough consumers will own one to justify software development on a killer app for it. Classic chicken-and-egg situation on bleeding edge technology. I'd buy stock in companies who make cheaper inferior products that tap into the huge interest in Vision Pro.

  • Apple staff will unsurprisingly tell iPhone 15 customers that Lightning won't work

    And if you are upset about it, you can blame governments (European Union et al) who want to dictate how technology companies do their work, because we all know that governments know better than private indicatory when it comes to technology.

  • Man pleads guilty to stealing naked photos from iCloud accounts

    Technically it's phishing but in reality there is a better word: stupidity. These days everybody needs to know that no legitimate business representative would ever ask for your password, especially via email.

    Now I need to get back to work, there is a Nigerian Prince that needs a small favor...

  • App Store review ridiculousness: Apple rejects AppleInsider's iPhone X app update because ...

    I'm in favor of asking for details about the rejection from Apple, as long as it is done respectfully. I personally trust AppleInsider if it is a first-hand account, but not so much what other people may state, which I would consider rumors until proven. There are plenty of cases of developers whining about their unfair rejections, and when you dig a little, you realize they are in the wrong and there are two sides to every story. Definitely NOT the case here, but in this age of fake news and partisan exaggerations in everything you read, it's a good thing to ask questions and do some research. Nowadays I find that anything even remotely political that is published by the major national news sources is usually riddled with factual errors and opinions stated as facts. So, ask questions, but be kind : ) Good luck AI, this article was written in a way that should not overly offend Apple and I hope they take care of it today.
