Apple scrubs VP of Special Projects Paul Deneve's bio page from website [u]
Guess someone told Cook that the former fashion labels Deneve worked for aren't bling-bling enough for the new Apple power users (e.g. Kardashians and their wannabes)... Kayne aint' rappin' about YSL, Ricci, Lavin... it's all about the Gucci, LV, Prada (and if you're older Hermes or Cartier).
I'm sure for shareholders the path down luxury brand lane will be good for short term, high margin profits... but eventually that crowd moves on when you're no longer cool... and given they're clear slowdown in genuine innovation in product categories, IxD and ID they'll be paying a price down the road... They'll be the Versace of tech.

Review: Powerbeats3 with Apple W1 chip are the most reliable Bluetooth headphones we've ev...
Well I hope these are actually true sport headphones, unlike the Powerbeats2 (which can't take any serious level of sweat... I do 10-20ks 3-5/wk and on my 5 pair of the 2s in 8 months... thank goodness for the Apple warranty and living 100m from the Apple store).
Of course I guess like with the Macs the power user audience for Apple are Kardashians and Chinese fashionistas... so they're more interested in damage resistance to makeup than sweat.

Pundits believe Apple's Jony Ive no longer involved in iPhone, Mac product design [u]
Also getting the 3.5mm hole in his backside removed... it's so legacy... couragerobin huber said:He has been getting plastic surgery to remove the button on his belly. (Sorry, couldn't resist)

Apple dissolves Mac automation management post, Sal Soghoian to leave company
Bummer... but not surprised given the new Apple power users (Kardashians and Chinese fashonistas) have no need for this sort of capability... they need true innovation like more rose gold devices and blingy accessories...

iPhone 7 Plus has 3GB RAM, is fastest iOS device ever according to benchmark
Well sitting here with a whole range of devices (since I develop for both Android and iOS... Prefer iOS of course) I can say even with my messed up eyes I can tell the different (in resolution, not talking color, etc) on a > 4.5 screen at 12 inches.cali said:
The human eye can't tell the difference between 720p and 1080p on a screen that little.vision33r said:Sadly the Soc upgrade is not important as the screen density is outdated. Pretty sure they are saving that for next year. Nice of apple for giving people 720p displays on the 4.7 model. Some $100 phone has a better display.
