The always-on display (AOD) which Apple introduced with their Series 5 Apple Watch last year is still something that people ask me about all the time. And my response is always this. If you have to ask whether you need it, you probably don’t. Because for the rest of us, we couldn’t get it soon enough and we could never go back. Here’s why.
The Apple Watch is arguably the device at Apple with the most important future ahead of it. As battery technology improves, it could possibly grow to become the primary device to which we attach carrier cellular plans.
Apple has a long history of taking features from Android, that weren’t implemented very well, and doing it much better than Google ever realized was possible. A great example of this is FaceID.
Jason Snell wants to destroy the cohesive iOS AppStore world in the name of “a better customer experience”. As I wrote a few days ago, that would actually be making the AppStore experience worse for everybody in order to accommodate a few developers. AppStore fragmentation is not something that anyone should want.
I had written a while back how uncomfortable it is for Apple writers when the developers fight with Apple.
A Desperate Cry for Help FOR THE LOVE OF GOD. PLEASE PUT YOUR APPLE WATCHES ON MUTE BEFORE RECORDING A PODCAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In the last couple of weeks I’ve heard a few Apple pundits bring up the old Microsoft antitrust case in relation to Apple’s current situation. However, I’m not sure if these commentators are aware that this comparison actually works against them. Because anyone who looks at the data will come away with the conclusion that antitrust doesn’t apply to Apple.
