    @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.

    @th3dogcow thanks for the question, this was not meant to ask for help. I know it’s a commodity. I still think there’s a huge base of Apple fans that would be delighted if Apple would make a good printer with calibrated colours, that would connect to your computer as easy as your Apple Watch connects to your iPhone.

    @fourish Apple created the Apple Vision Pro for roughly four thousand euro’s. At best 1 million people were waiting for this inspiring device.
    They could make a really good printer for €500. About 50 million people would be really interested just to get rid of the never-ending hassle.
    A revenue of €25 billion euros in about three years would be easily achievable. Apparently, having your own ‘next big thing’ was more important for Apples decision makers.

    @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.

    iOS 18 Siri will feature advanced in-app functionality - Here's what's new
  • Paul_Harts Paul_Harts 4mo ago 100%

    @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?

    Apple Music is a shitshow of a product.
  • Paul_Harts Paul_Harts 6mo ago 100%

    @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.

    Apple's New App Store Policy Is Petty As Hell - Aftermath
  • Paul_Harts Paul_Harts 9mo ago 80%

    @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.

    What’s the tiniest thing about iOS / iPadOS / macOS that really bugs you?
  • Paul_Harts Paul_Harts 10mo ago 100%

    @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.

    @jo3shmoo @Num10ck tech doesn’t have an upward line per se. Off-topic, but I still miss the handwriting recognition of my Sony Ericsson P800 (?) which was 23(!) years ago, and which was superior to whatever Remarkable, and iPad et cetera are delivering now.

    Correct. This is a setting you can switch on or off. At least on Apple Mail. And in my case it’s by default switched off.

    @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.
