    Apple Intelligence, Apple Intelligence, Apple Intelligzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

    New story at the NYT says the expected 18.4 Siri features coming this Fall. Also some explanation as to why the tardiness. Seems to be blame to go in all directions including Maestro who shot down a larger AI server budget by 50%. Anyway seems people are happy with Federighi and Rockwell...

    What do tariffs on Chinese imports mean for Apple?

    What China takes away, India may give. India-China relations are worse than US-China relations. I bet India would very much like to replace China as the manufacturing Mecca.

    macOS 16 wishlist

    1) better search tools integration - that is Spotlight and Siri should be similar in use and scope 2) ability to pull external HD w/o “ejecting” it first 3) Expand Shortcuts or have they forgotten it

    What do tariffs on Chinese imports mean for Apple?

    It’s disappointing that Apple didn’t diversify manufacturing sooner. To have 90% of your most important product be assembled in one country should have been sending alarm bells throughout the leadership. And, worse, Apple depends on two countries in tense relationship: China and Taiwan - at some...

    Apple Intelligence, Apple Intelligence, Apple Intelligzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

    I wonder who is responsible for dropping the Siri ball? I remember Renee Ritchie wondering if a SiriOS was just around the corner almost a decade ago. Did Apple realize privacy constraints and hardware limitations meant a true Siri assistant wasn’t possible and didn’t invest until hardware...

    Must be the result of the “fixer” being assigned to the AI/Siri group. She clearly saw issues with the roll out.

    iPhone 16E announced + other changes

    I was looking to replace my 12 mini with this but wanted a phone with a Thread radio. Guess I’ll look at the 16.

    2025 Apple Devices

    hoping this device will solve the problem of providing apple intelligence features to the HomeKit ecosystem without requiring every HomeKit device have an expensive cpu. That should make the home much more new-Siri compatible. also would be nice if it ties into your watch, so HomeKit devices...

    I guess iPad Pros don’t have the software or hardware connections you need?

    "It's Glowtime" September 9, 2024 iPhone Event

    What i‘d be interested in is a ATV or similar that could do Apple Intelligence locallly for the HomePods and other devices that won’t ever get the horsepower to do on-device responses to AI requests..

    Apple Should Buy Rivian To Save CarPlay

    What are the rumors of the like of Nissan, Honda, Kia, and Hyundai coming back into the fold?

    Apple Vision Pro

    I like Joanna Stern’s review. The “killer app” may actually be cooking!!! That’s a popular hobby and being able to quickly see the recipe(s) and timers is useful. I think the Personas are weird but in my opinion acceptable. When watching Tong’s review, the FaceTime call with Marques and Justine...

    The Mac turns 40: discussion questions

    First: Mac Plus Fave: iMac G4 (iLamp) or IIci Software: MPW and probably the only person to buy it Spreadsheet 2000 Accessory: all the stuff from Daystar Worst: OpenDoc; Pink; all that bullshit that amounted to nothing.

    Apple Vision Pro

    I think the Mac is a good comparison. The AVP will be a device that you mostly use by yourself. It will just be better for visualizing 3D spaces/data.Hopefully someone will bring interesting new productive apps. Something novel like Lotus Improv brought to NexT but now with added dimensions to...

    Apple and Gaming

    Apple seems a bit inconsistent in this. Apple pays for and creates content for the AppleTV yet doesn't do so for music. They pay for Apple Arcade games but don't yet do anything for "console" type games. It would be interesting to know what metric is being used to make the decision to invest or...
