  • I don’t see what’s wrong with having the option. If it’s a setting, then people like you don’t have to turn it on. And people who want to see the main part of an image on their smaller display can so that too. It’s a win win

  • Google says it can’t fix Pixel Watches, please just buy a new one | With no official repair program and no parts, broken Pixel Watches are just e-waste.

  • I wouldn’t say so. My Apple Watch shows a ridiculous amount of useful information on my watch face and I can easily find any other info I need with it. It’s also got a lot of health and fitness features which can be extremely helpful and potentially life saving. In addition to all of that, the rest of the features are helpful too. Whether some might find them to be redundant or intrusive, I and clearly many others find them to be useful. Just because you don’t find a use for it, doesn’t make it bad.

  • Apple users bash new iPhone 15: ‘Innovation died with Steve Jobs’

  • I use my iPhone extensively and it consistently lasts me all day. The iPhone 11 Pro came with a 20w charger in the box (although admittedly they removed the power adapter from the 12)

  • You Can Now Use Your iPhone to Find a Lost Siri Remote in tvOS 17 and iOS 17

  • It’s actually been working really well for me on the latest beta. Seems they’ve improved the system

  • You Can Now Use Your iPhone to Find a Lost Siri Remote in tvOS 17 and iOS 17

  • It is definitely just Bluetooth. Works exactly the same way it worked with AirPods before they added ultra wide band

  • Well, fuck you too.

  • I am generally curious what you mean by centrist nut jobs? The whole point of the centre is to be somewhere in the middle and therefore the best of both worlds that everyone has something in common with as far as I’m concerned

  • Unearthed touchscreen iMac G3 prototype evokes a very different era of Apple | Ars Technica

  • Dude, watch the video. This wasn’t done by Apple. It was modded by ELO, a company which is still around today. They made it for shopping centre payment stations and other similar use cases. And frankly, from the looks of it in the video, it worked just as well as they do today (which is to say mediocre at best).

  • What are your favorite iOS/iPadOS/macOS apps?

  • Parcel (all platforms): the best shipment tracker you’ll ever use

    Solves (all platforms): it’s basically identical to the built in calculator but is 1,000,000x better

    Music Library Tracker (iOS, iPadOS): keeps track of the change in your Apple Music library and can automatically make a spatial audio playlist for you

    Mlem (iOS, iPadOS): the best Lemmy client

    Vinegar (all platforms): a Safari extension that makes YouTube use the native video player, adds PiP for free and removes ads!

    Baking Soda (all platforms): replaces custom video players in other sites with the native one

    Crouton (all platforms): a natively built recipe manager. I don’t use it much but it’s really well made

    MacWhisper (macOS): uses openAI’s whisper model to create super accurate transcriptions of audio and video files

    Monitor Control (macOS): allows you to control the brightness of external monitors (other than Apple’s)

    Calipers Tape Measure (iOS): a super accurate set of Calipers for your iPhone

    Cric Pulse (iOS): the only cricket app with live activities

  • Paprika? Or other good Recipe apps?

  • iPhone and iPad apps will be available in the Vision Pro App Store by default

  • All this means is that it’s opt out, rather than opt in. They’re not saying that there’s no way to disable it. In fact there’s already a way to disable it

  • iPhone and iPad apps will be available in the Vision Pro App Store by default

  • As far as I’m aware, on the App Store, reviews only count for the platform that you review on. So if you go look at an iOS app on the Mac App Store, you’d see different reviews than that same app on the iOS App Store. Presumably, it would be the same here

  • WSJ: China Bans iPhone Use for Government Officials at Work

  • Primarily Google as Google is the only other major operating system developer in the mobile market and is also the biggest advertising company in the world

  • WSJ: China Bans iPhone Use for Government Officials at Work

  • Regardless of that, Apple has at the very least put effort into adding privacy features. Google on the other hand is literally the company that does the advertising. Google’s main business is advertising. I said very clearly that Apple may not be perfect, but they’re objectively more privacy focused than others whether that’s for your gain or theirs

  • WSJ: China Bans iPhone Use for Government Officials at Work

  • Side loading has absolutely nothing to do with privacy. My main point is that Apple is more privacy friendly than others

  • WSJ: China Bans iPhone Use for Government Officials at Work

  • I know what their privacy policy states and that they can’t (legally) lie in it (to my knowledge). I also know that they are not an advertising company primarily and that the competition is. That gives other companies far more reason to collect data. Apple on the other hand benefits from being more privacy focused as a selling point. Overall, Apple is far more trustworthy imo when it comes to privacy than others

  • WSJ: China Bans iPhone Use for Government Officials at Work

  • While Apple may not be perfect when it comes to privacy, they are objectively better for privacy than just about every other manufacturer as it’s profitable to their business model

  • The cofounder of Google's AI division DeepMind says everybody will have their own AI-powered 'chief of staff' over the next five years

  • I know Apple’s developing their own LLM which will hopefully be used in Siri. There’s no guarantee, but I can’t think it would be too hard to add Bard into Google Assistant. Cortana on the other hand was canceled by Microsoft and is being replaced by Bing chat. I believe Amazon is also stopping the Alexa development

  • Just got my first iPhone since the 3G, now what?

  • Wdym “active notifications”? Do you mean live activities? Those have been a thing since iOS 16

  • Ads on the homescreen?

  • This is an app clip suggestion based on your location. Siri suggestions can suggest things based on many factors such as location, time of day, recent apps, etc. These suggestions can be things like opening an app or texting someone. All of that processing is done on your device. As I said, this is for an App Clip based on your location. An app clip is like a mini app designed to do one single task. For instance, an app clip might be for paying for fuel at a petrol station. App clips are designed to be extremely small so you can download it quickly and easily and the delete them when you’re done. So in summary, you’re seeing a Siri suggestion to download an app clip that is linked to that nearby church. It’s probably some touristy thing. You can change all of your Siri suggestion settings under Settings > Siri & Search
