Had a feature idea, what if you could assign names/colors to sections between waypoints? For example, say between waypoints 2-4 in my map is Foothills Parkway, and color it red on the map and the elevation diagram? Especially on the el

CarPlay support can run in the simulator, obviously you'll need to fake the GPS location too for this to be useful. And you need to get special permission from Apple before you can even use the simulator, they keep CarPlay even more lo

Very cool! That solves creating and saving a route with extra navigation waypoints, so the other thing I'd want out of it is a native app with CarPlay where I can get total time/distance remaining, time/distance to next stop,

Even for driving the major apps are crappy about routes. I was on Foothills Parkway a while ago and wanted to keep Apple Maps running just as a "miles/time remaining" indicator. It can't do anything other than fastest ro

Made up how? They'll do a refresh of lower end devices, but not the high core count versions. It's the same thing as how the Mac Studio got an M4 Max refresh, but they didn't make an M4 Ultra so if you want the 28+ core CPU o

In 2000 when the PS2 came out was the NES a retro console? It was 17 years old, or 14 years since wide distribution in the USA. What counts as "retro" basically comes down to when the person you ask was born.

Think it'll last 5 years? I don't strongly care one way or the other about the form factor, but if it's more expensive, less durable, and has a worse camera, then I'm perfectly happy to have a one-piece phone.

“Shuffle playlist _____” broke a few years ago too. Now it consistently takes that to mean “Play other music similar to the playlist.” If I specify “Shuffle playlist _____ in Apple Music” somehow that works right, even though it’s still usi

That’s crazy, 5A/5V is not and has never been in range of the USB power delivery spec. It only goes to 5 amps at 20V for the 100W output, or higher voltages in the newer Extended Power Range topping out at 5A/48V. 5A/5V what

Right, all they need to do is convince every end user they’re trying to distribute software to that they’re using the wrong OS and should replace their MacBook with something running Linux. No problem at all.
