Huh. I’ve seen no sign of it on my phone. I wonder if it’s a country/location thing.

Gross. Going to hold onto my 14P for as long as I can.

Apple is likely counting on iOS fans who have resisted the temptation of getting one of the top foldable phones already available as they wait for a foldable iPhone

I think that has more to do with the fact that folding phones are eye-wateringly expensive. I expect a folding iPhone to cost even more.

You are assuming he will face any consequences. He is completely shielded by Trump and has been granted authority to do whatever he wants. And even if he is breaking the law - the law literally means nothing if it is not enforced. The US government has been effectively coup’d from within and cannot and will not regulate or stop itself.

I’m still using an M1 Macbook and it does me just fine.

I wish I could do more shopping there, but eBay in Canada is extremely expensive which has lead to it being kind of a ghost town compared to the US. $20-$50 shipping fees, even on tiny items, is common.

So I’ve started to use AliExpress more often. Literally the exact same item on Amazon but without the markup - sometimes even half the price. It’s not a great solution but the online shopping selection here in Canada is awful.

Shareholders probably weren’t happy that Apple is taking a cautious, more modest approach to AI and instead wants them to dump quadrillions into it instead like every other tech company.

Sarcastic hyperbole aside, I’m interested what this iPhone SE refresh looks like.

Finally, something to listen to while I huff the fumes.

Apple really needs to step up with bugfixes for iOS and MacOS instead of pushing rushed yearly upgrades.

I’ve voted “No” to that on a few “Great on Deck” games before. Valve is way too lenient on what they consider “great” on the Deck.

I have a Deck and one thing I learned pretty quick is that some devs will mark their game as Steam Deck Verified when it damn well is not. There are some games that struggle to run on the Deck but still have the green check, so I feel claims like this are highly misleading. Also there are some games that have no compatibility information at all yet work great.

Ah yes, those illegal migrants from Canada, the country that is notoriously difficult to enter. Must be heaps of those!

Hope Americans enjoy paying inflated prices for fuels, manufactured parts, beef, wheat, and grains because Canada is a large supplier of those to the US. Trade deals between Canada and the US are valued at around $1tril per year. I hope those that voted for Trump really feel like those increased prices make them feel like they’re being put “first”.

I have a 14 pro and thus still use Lightning, but I’ve had iffy USB-C connectors and plugs on various other devices. Potentially an upopular opinion, but I don’t like USB-C much and find it doesn’t have a very positive feeling connection. I’ve also had a couple USB-C plugs fail already.

Basically every American I personally know lives paycheque-to-paycheque as megacorps move in to bleed them dry on every front.

If it is going to be a primary computer or a work computer then I would get the Pro. The extra horsepower and cooling just simply make it more capable.

The Air is still a very good laptop and it is surprising what it can do, but if this is going to be a work tool for you then you should get the best that you can afford. An Air might be good 90% of the time but that 10% where it overheats will suck heaps.

Games that change their terms post-sale should present the customer the option for an automatic no-questions-asked refund. Leaving the customer with the options: Agree, Decline, Refund.

The features customers actually want vs what the shareholders tell them they want.

I wonder if the display is technically capable of 120hz+ and they just locked it in software.

The mini has always given me the impression that it exists simply to drive sales towards the more expensive models. Although I’m surprised they still make it considering they’ve axed the mini iphone a few generations ago.

Personally, I don’t feel like any iPad is worth the cost though because of how limited iPadOS is.

I haven’t upgraded my 14p yet due to all the bugs I’ve heard about in iOS 18. Also that the new photos app is a dumpster fire of changes nobody asked for.
