  • Pixelmator introduces discounted upgrade program for Pixelmator Pro

    I don't recall what I paid for the original Pixelmator but I'm getting only $5 off. 
    Same here, getting a "$35.00" offer.  I wonder if it matters if you got it at a previously discounted price.  I paid $14.99 for version 3.3 then (December 2014).

    The numbers of the watch face are italic but why is sat italic and steps not? Makes no sense. You don't care? Well I do. Details… Samsung almost never pays attention.

    Good eye, and spot-on comment.
    They practically lifted the “running man” Workout app icon from Apple Watch. Such amazing innovation and originality.

  • Apple rolls out watchOS 5.1.2 update, complete with ECG function

    Download and operates fine - Sinus Rhythm, I'm going to live another day.   

    FYI, my Xs bricked on the 5.1 update, but no problems with this update.
     Watch ECG app tells me to set it up in Health app on iPhone, but I can’t get Health app to trigger ECG setup. Did yours just pop up a window to do it?

  • Apple Watch 'Series 4' leak shows slimmer chassis with larger screen & new watch face

    That metal looks way too shiny to be aluminum.  I imagine that's a new "gold" color for the steel Apple Watch, very likely color matched to the new gold steel-frame option of the iPhone XS shown in the 9to5Mac photo.

  • TSMC recovers 80 percent of virus-hit production line, warns of production delays

    ronn said:
    Much ado about nothing. Apple is so large that either TSMC will make sure there won’t be a delay in production for them or alternatively Apple can just announce a release date that’ll ensure adequate supply. There can’t be a delay when there hasn’t been an announcement for the new lineup. We’re several weeks away from an announcement if we go by previous releases. I suspect the event on September 12 with launch day September 21.
    There would be a realized delay and impact: Apple has already announced their fiscal Q4 revenue guidance, and it came in higher than consensus estimates. This suggests new iPhones would ship in September, before Q4 close (because there’s really nothing besides iPhone that could account for the higher Q4 revenue projection). A delay to produce and ship phones before quarter close would therefore have an impact on their Q4 revenues. So even if they haven’t accounced a release date yet, they already have accounted for their internal target date in their revenue guidance.  

    Now, that being said, I think this is still more of a minor inconvenience than a major impact on Apple’s ability to manufacture the new iPhones.  With this coming here in early August, but A12 production having started back in May (at low volumes, no doubt, but probably fully ramped by now), I think the issue wouldn’t affect the launch inventory at all, and that TSMC has time to catch up.
