well you see apple would make more money if they catered to nerds that make up 1% of the population instead of the 90% of normal people that pick a phone by its colour


excuse me but their stock dropped :downs:

my dentist has chairs that use them for like setting the rpm on the drills and maybe some other functions.



does anyone know if I have apple one and my wife is in my family sharing will she be able to use apple fitness plus on her iPad that is under her account? she has an old series 2 watch so I'm debating getting her a watch that will work with apple fitness but only if the family share will actually work. right now we can't download the apple fitness app onto her iPad because her account needs to be paired with a capable Apple Watch.

don't understand why they're going to continue to sign ios 14 after ios 15 drops especially with swift abi stability meaning what it does.

this seems like a dumb fragmentation for no gain. ios has fantastic adoption rates why would you introduce a reason for that to no longer be true?

lol another classic example of yosposters not understanding the target. nerds could already listen to rush in 9.1 audio if they wanted. they picked a bunch of bops and bangers because they want college kids buying the good airpods.

having this as an accessible standard already beats all the dumbass audiophile formats whose main problem was being niche. apple music is by definition not niche on first blush and is designed to be accessible so people being able to just put their headphones on the same way they did yesterday and all of a sudden everything sounds ~*better*~ audiophile formats fail because you have to put in work to get there. this is largely plug and play so i think this plays out waaaay better.



i get and im pretty satisfied by it. im interested in a year when large swathes of the catalog have it

i honestly don't hear the difference on newer songs. the marvin gaye mono to stereo to spatial audio sounds great, but the weeknd stereo to spatial track sounds the same. maybe i'm old and my ears are broken.

does anyone know why "ts" in the safari address bar, when "preload top hit in background" is turned on, will delete itself?

this is the oddest behavior I've ever seen and I can't find any other character combinations that will do it.

yeah I'm starting to second guess myself too. m1 mbp is still very very good for iOS dev. if swiftui previews aren't noticeably faster I think I will return the thing.

check out this thread from may. it nails the specs of the m1 pro and the m1 max (m1 max = jade c-die, m1 pro = jade c-chop). if the rest of the leak is also accurate the more powerful desktop chips will be 2x and 4x the m1 max
