🖥️🍎 From history …

🔗 No one is listening to Steve Jobs’s advice about the EU Digital ID Wallet

🍎 I have no idea if this is anywhere near true / possible. BUT.

A $2billion acquisition is (I think) the second largest Cupertino has ever done? So clearly there’s something going on - and I hate talking to my computer for so many reasons. So this …

Q.ai specialized in one thing: analyzing facial micro-movements and patterns to determine what you’re saying, without any audible speech required.

shall we say piqued my interest and just might solve my issue.

🔗 Apple’s upcoming AirPods Pro 3 variant could debut a groundbreaking new feature

[my thanks to @devilgate for pointing out my typo … ‘piqued’ … not ‘peaked’]

🍎 Not wrong. Of course I know nothing - but he’s still not wrong.

🔗 Apple’s Mac Mini Went Viral.

Some of these systems will surely arrive on other platforms eventually, but at the moment, they’re only on the Mac. They’re not on Windows, not on Linux, not on Android, and not on iOS. Just the Mac. That’s because the Mac is, and always has been, the best computer platform in the world. It just is. These systems can’t run on iPhones or iPads because those are baby computers. They just are. So if you to jump in as an early adopter on desktop AI, it needs to be on a Mac. And if you want a headless always-on Mac to do it, the only options are a Mac Mini or Mac Studio.

Horace again …

🔗 Does Apple’s AI Opportunity Outweigh Component Cost Inflation?

Unlike many of its peers, Apple isn’t in the race to win AI benchmarks or translate those gains into tangible financial gains. It just needs those features to change behavior and pave the way for healthier services revenue.

🍎 is not playing ‘our’ game - except for ‘announcements’ that for whatever reason they have decided to join. They clearly do not know how to play it and are losing. Badly.

Horace … 🔗 iPhone only Smartphone to Grow in China this January

Clearly 🍎 has lost the plot.

House votes to rescind Trump’s Canada tariffs (🍎📰)

Dear Mark Don’t blink. Don’t trust them. Hold your course.

🔗 The world heard JD Vance being booed at the Olympics. Except for viewers in the US (🍎📰 - but it’s The Grauniad - so not hard to find)

So glad that the US supports free speech.

We were pleased to see the Mac install base reach another all-time high, with nearly half of customers who purchased a Mac being new to the product.
