An example can summarize hundreds of words with less explanation cruft and wording confusion. Of all the math classes I've taken, the best teachers are the ones that just walk through examples. Not the ones explaining in abstract how t

But doesn't that inherently imply you try to keep users from making long-term connections? Users having lots of fun dates are not doing them with the same person and continuing to use your app. It's a bunch of dates that ultimatel

To be fair, users did have to install an app and go through the onboarding to be counted. That is a big ask for most users! That wasn't the case for Google+ where they straight up just considered all Google accounts to be Google+ accou

Just to update a day later, I hadn't processed during the presentation that the new processor is named A17 "Pro," not "Bionic." So my theory now is next year the non-Pro iPhone 16's will have an A17 Bionic that

Their tongue out emoji (which I use quite frequently) looks ridiculous. Pretty much every emoji set has a neutral looking face with the tongue out, indicating a very slight amount of unseriousness. Meanwhile the Teams one has big anime-esqu

The only important function of emojis should be to display the same idea or emotion to the viewer as was intended by the person who sent it. We're in a much better state now with all the emoji sets slowly converging to look the same, c

It sold a single digit percentage of total iPhones the quarter after the 12 series dropped, which is... millions of units. Not to mention the 2020 SE came out a few months prior to the 12 lineup's announcement, so a lot of people who w

The 14 Pro's edges are also worse because of how damn heavy the thing is. The 15 Pro is said to be about 9% lighter thanks to the titanium, so hopefully that will alleviate some of that issue too.

When the 14 Pro came out I bought one day 1 to replace my 12 mini. I figured the size would be an issue, and I definitely didn't like it as much as the 12 mini. But the worst part I didn't even foresee was the weight. It was SUPER

LLMs as they are now are not a drop-in replacement for what people use voice assistants for. If you ask it a question it doesn't know the answer to, "I don't know" is better than making up a bullshit answer. That could b

They were selling the 13 Pro after the 14 Pro came out? I was pretty sure they always removed last year's Pro from the lineup when the new Pro comes out. Meanwhile last year's baseline models will stick around at a reduced price.

I believe magsafe charges slower than the port, and I've also heard concerning things about the long term effects wireless charging has on battery health.

It's also worth noting that when USB-C was finalized, Apple had only made the switch to Lightning a couple years prior. People were already upset over that switch because all of their cables and accessories were suddenly incompatible (

The new processor featured in the Pro models adds support for USB 3.0 transfer speeds. Apple started doing a thing last year where the non-Pro phones get last year's processor, and only the new Pros get the new one. So it's likely
