What about rethinking to what extent large cities are and will still be necessary? Thanks to the internet, lots of jobs that required going into an office every day can now be done remotely. As collaboration tools get better, I'm hopin

No one clicks on a link to buy a car not because no one wants to, but because, unless you're buying a Tesla, you can't, you have to buy through a dealership.

The real purpose of this app isn't the rating system, that's just the hook to get people to run this app and point the camera out their dashboards. The real purpose is to crowdsource collecting data about the drivers on the road i

This is a bit of a tangent, but could you expand on that? I'm interested in getting CarPlay in my next car, but I'd like to know what some of the limitations and downsides are.

Why is it that every discussion about Netflix somehow devolves into a discussion about their hiring/firing practices?

While I'm sure that Apple would love it if everyone owned a Mac, iPhone, and Apple Watch, there are lots of people out there that may only own a Mac, or own a Mac and an Android phone. I think Apple would still prefer that these people

I have a 64GB iPhone SE. What I really wanted was a 128GB SE, but sadly such a thing does not exist.

Checksumming is the thing that I want the most from a new Apple FS. I really hope they include it at some point.

What if I want to receive plain text messages?

So essentially a big middle finger from Apple to anyone not attending the conference. Sigh.

Why not leave these things to third party messaging apps, keyboards, and integrations? Why does it all have to be first party?

Where can I stream that?

On the iPhone, the always-on "Hey Siri" activation is actually local on the device. You can test this out by activating Airplane Mode and saying "Hey Siri". The interface comes up, then says that you can't use Siri

This is huge! I can understand that they wouldn't want to devote a lot of time to it, but I can't believe this wasn't even mentioned in the keynote. It is a developer conference after all.

Maybe Square too/instead. The ability to send cash through an iMessage with Square was demoed in the keynote, and I have to think that Apple would have really liked to have been able to do that themselves with Apple Pay.

You're right, there are lots of reasons why manufacturers want to make larger phones, and there are lots of reasons why some people want to buy larger phones. I don't think that these reasons are wrong, but I also think it's

Yeah, I don't think that all that junk added to Messages would have been added under Steve Jobs. Not that I think that's a bad thing, but it's definitely a notable departure away from clean and simple and minimal to something

I am really curious how the features they said were activated by 3D Touch will work on a non-3D Touch iPhone. I'm guessing that, like iOS 9, you won't get the menus on the home screen, but what about the notifications on the lock

I'm thinking about getting a new TV soon, and I plan to order one online sight-unseen based solely on reviews. I don't want to sway myself by what they look like in a bright showroom with the brightness and contrast cranked up to

Usually because it's ridiculously expensive. Would I pay 20-50% more for a first class seat? Probably. Would I spend 2-3x more? No. I'm still going to be miserable, the flight is still going to take just as long, and once it'

There's so much good stuff I can watch on Netflix and YouTube that it's not worth it to me to spend the time and effort going to a movie theater, buying a ticket, then watching a movie. Besides, I'm pretty patient, and I can

There are also cases, like with larger phones, where every manufacturer starts making bigger and bigger phones because "that's what customers want", without providing any options for customers that would prefer smaller phones

One huge problem with wireless is that pairing and re-pairing sucks. If I want to use my wired headphones with a different device - be it an iPhone, iPad, computer, etc, all I need to do is plug in the cable. I'd really hate to have to

It seems pretty likely now, with the addition of unlocking via the Apple Watch and using an iPhone to authenticate web payments on a Mac, that Apple will be adding a fingerprint sensor to a future MacBook.

In the presentation they said that it used Handoff, which is direct device to device communication.

I probably average less than one per year. Before Star Wars VII, I can't tell you what the last movie I saw in theaters was.

You certainly have made a lot of assumptions about me. I did test in other browsers - Chrome, obviously, and Firefox. But the fact that it works in Chrome and Firefox doesn't excuse the fact that it doesn't work in Safari. I'

I'm not going to tell you what to do, but if you want to convince other people of your opinion I suggest writing up your argument into a well-cited article. Personally, I'm skeptical, but I'm willing to consider what you have

You're making some strong claims here, care to back them up? I'm not convinced that suburban/rural life is unsustainable just because you say it is.
