@misk better hope it’s USB-C.
I now have USB-C cable for my Mac, a lightning cable for my trackpad and a special charger for my AppleWatch. Being trapped in the most expensive eco-system means carrying around three separate cables.
The Huawei watch can be charged by placing it on top of a Huawei mobile. #NoCable
@ClassifiedPancake Also very true. People have no objection against living in the walled garden, as long as everything is there. The Wi-Fi in our house still runs on airport extremes without any issues, and close to 0 installation hassle.
@BombOmOm I’m struggling big time with Epson. Completely unpredictable. Works like a dream for a month or two, and then it will take hours to get it working again.
Point being, the iPhone was a reinvention of stuff that was already there. I’d like Apple to reinvent printing.
@Ghostalmedia I do have CarPlay.
[ off topic ] Apart from that, there’s something else Apple has to fix before diving into AI.
As long as I’ve used MacBook Pro’s (had three of them) I get electroshocks if I’m touching the keyboard while working with bare feet. And I don’t mean a ‘vibration’, but a real shock, even if the MacBook Pro isn’t connected to a wall socket.
Reported it several times and for years to Apple Support; nobody cares.
@Ghostalmedia Siri, specifically in the non-English speaking world, has such an unbelievably bad rap that I really think it’s not going to recover. Apple doesn’t need AI, it needs a bunch of clever If-Then rules. For example, my daugther has a quite familiar name with a diacritical sign on it. I had to correct that 12,312 times before that went OK automatically.
Every day if I hop in my car, I have to switch off the music and start the podcast. How hard is it to learn my habits?
@bici @apple_enthusiast not to mention Apple Classical. Reinforcing all prejudices Europeans might have against American companies and classical music. I know these are prejudices but Apple really didn’t get, and doesn’t get classical music categorisation. This issue is dragging on for 20 years now.
@TORFdot0 @Reverendender i’m getting a bit sick and tired of this nagging about 30% cut that Apple takes. Every experienced entrepreneur knows that 30% for all the invoicing misery, part of the customer care, doing the legal affairs around software in 181 countries, and of course putting it in a display/shop that has a billion views per year, is a reasonable deal.
@HeavyDogFeet @DJDarren and more AI in MacOS and iOS, please. If I repeat a folder action three times, how hard is it to get that if I start the same action for the forth time, I would like to repeat the same sequence? Also, why do I have to correct the rather common name of my daughter 17.451 times, before the auto-correct finally gets it?
And finally; localization, which used to be a strong point of Apple, leaves a lot to be improved.
@Bobicus @tst123 same here. I type this message, like all messages, with my thumb only. I really like having one hand free. Sooo much more efficient and relaxed. And yes, my hands are big, but not that big.
There’s that solution of not using the upper 1/3 of your screen, I know. But it’s difficult to access that option. I’m open to suggestions how to do that quickly.
And I have an iPhone 13 mini and indeed…keeping it as long as possible.
@aeronmelon @LeTak the days of obsessive attention to detail in everything Apple does, where ages ago.
And don’t even get me started on Pages & Numbers.
