In keeping with the Siri brand, Apple has to make sure LLM-Siri’s underlying model is bad at everything

…does anyone actually have a stereoscopic monitor?

Japan! It’s a stairway leading to the Toei Ōedo line, among the deepest subways into the world.

Eh, I think the problem is the customers just take what apple gives them

I think this is true to an extent, but my argument against it would be to point to the period where Apple resisted making large phones, while Android phones were getting bigger and bigger. (This would be approximately the era of the 5/5S) In the more wild-west product lineup of Android, it became clear that bigger screens equaled more sales, for better or for worse.

Eh, I think the problem is customers just prefer bigger phones. I mean, personally I prefer the mini, but I think it's clear I'm in the minority.

Using a rebrand to try and downplay the compactness may work for sight-unseen buyers, but in the end if they're shown the bigger phone in-store, past sales would suggest they're likely going to pick the bigger phone. (Phones ended up so big in the first place because people preferred them, too.)

I just wish Signal had better history and backup features.

This is absolutely the reason why Apple sticks with a rectangle, but that said, I'd still love to see them try for a round face.

Round faces look amazing for analog watch faces and only for that—but I'd still get one if they offered it.

You just know this is going to get mentioned at Tim Cook's next iPhone keynote.

Why not everything? Honestly even 25 years seems too long, make it 10.

Wish the TouchID rumors were true; I have the iPad Air M1 with the side TouchID button and it works amazingly.

I wish Apple would bring it to their phones, but they really seem to like FaceID for some reason.

Exactly! The great thing about Lemmy is that if your instance’s admins start doing stupid stuff you can just go to another instance.

Well, to quote a classic film:

"Evil will always triumph, because good is dumb."
