    • sure.... next iMac pro will be the same tech as the current one, but in another color. dark grey whatever they call it this time.dyspl

    As much as I enjoyed my apple desktop and laptop, the lack of any nvidia option is a massive letdown for me. I’m ok with paying more than a PC for the same performance and then enjoy a better quality build and OS.
    But no nvidia means no access to Gpu based renders at all like redshift and octane, thus no way to learn them. If you are a graphic designer working with 3D sometime or want to develop these skills it’s an issue big enough to switch back to PC.

    • Octane and Redshift don't work with AMD GPU's?NBQ00

    • First that was a joke, pure sarcasm. Second, it was a response to NBQ and jmck. Finally, I don’t care about your reasons to leave Apple.monospaced

    Foldable screen, triple camera and a FART sensor – the weirdest tech Apple’s iPhone 11 could feature

    https://www.thesun.co.uk/tech/86…

    "One Apple patent reveals a specialised sensor that would turn the gadget into a poisonous gas detector – which could potentially even sniff out pongy farts."

    • Oh look we can bend a screen.

      Unless it has some useful function it's just a gimmick.

    Apple set to unveil streaming service, will reportedly offer HBO, Showtime for $9.99 a month

    This is the Netflix-killer...never stop innovating Apple!

    • I'm dropping HBO as soon as Game of Thrones wraps up, sooo. And, Showtime sucks.section_014
    • 9.99 each, though.

    • That is same price they (hbo and showtime) offer anywhere.monospaced
    • Plus, that's not the story here. you can already get those services through AppleTV, anyway.Gnash

    I liked the magazine thing for $9 a month... seems worth it.

    • Yeah, I only read Walrus and Adbusters on my iPad. I'm hoping independent publishers will be able to publish easily... I guess it will take time.ideaist
    • ^ used to buy every issue of Walrus. Past couple of years the articles haven't been as strong. Now I may buy every 3rd issue, and even then for just 1 storyGnash

    According to Spielberg, Netlfix = bad and should be kept out of the oscars. But magically, Apple = good.

    I wonder when his partnership agreement began with Apple.

    • eat your words bergdbloc
    • Spielberg argued Apple’s streaming films could be worthy of oscars? I doubt that.monospaced
    • He went on at length to describe why netflix should be excluded, and isn't real cinema, and a lot of those attributes apply to Apple.zarkonite
    • He even said: "the greatest contributions we can make as filmmakers is to give audiences the motion picture theatrical experience."zarkonite
    • Shitty seats, overpriced junk food, noisy crowds, babies, limited schedules, sticky floors... you bet, that's the best way of enjoying a movie!zarkonite
    • I guess I missed the part where Apple is opening a chain of theatres and not, in fact, selling a streaming box to attach to your TV at home.zarkonite

    Nothing screams "we've run out of ideas" more than a company like Apple launching a credit card.

    • Ummm, this might be a game changer, be need to learn more about the benefits. Just think, all your other cards drop their fees yo match apple card...!robotron3k
    • Maybe. But I'm definitely signing up.e-wo
    • Yup. And nothing more screams "we know how to make more $ for our shareholders". Which can fuck right off.inteliboy

    "Congratulations! You've qualified for a very special introductory offer from Goldman Sachs!"

    Apple Card is completely average, nothing exciting at all, but tons of people will get it because Apple is great at selling things. Even IF you buy a ton of Apple products (how much of yearly budget could possibly be on Apple products??) and use Apple Pay a lot, it's not really a great card.

    There's a good chance there's a better rewards card out there for you, and plenty without fees.

    Anyone think iStreaming, or whatever it's called, stands a chance? Personally, all I can think of is Tidal or eve Oprah's channel thing. I can recall when Apple insisted it didn't want "dirty" language in contenct. lol

    Personally, I think it's DOA. Too little, too late, imho. Disney's streaming looks like it could take over (since they do own Star Wars, Pixar, ESPN, Fox, etc.).

    • I hope it dies on its arse. I'm all for competition. But if there are too many services, the quality gets spread thin and the wallet gets spread wide.Hayzilla
    • movement is good. 10years till it's finally free again and we use some dopeass future cyber version of original Napster:) meanwhile let's pay somebody for it.uan
    • It stands a chance as much as Apple Music does against Spotify. There are a lot of people who are poised to benefit from the seamlessness of it.monospaced
    • "quality gets spread thin"? But the more players, the more chance we have of getting something that actually works.Ianbolton
    • "the quality gets spread thin and the wallet gets spread wide" - love it.Nairn
    • Thanks Nairn I just thought of that one. Think it will stick haha.Hayzilla
    • I just googled it to see if I'd heard it somewhere. Seems I invented it though. And my note appears #2 on Google. Remember where you heard it first LOL.Hayzilla

    Please kill me, I can't deal with any more Fan Boy crap. IT#s a fucking credit card, It's meant for you to accrue debt!

    • debt is so dumb. i'm so glad i fought my way out of that world. This apple card is a silly idea that will probably end up making them more money than products.capn_ron
    • This is basically what fucked up greece. But in their case it was an EU cardGnash
    • yeah but titanium etched debt, so ok.
