I think the next thing that Apple needs to do is go all-in on a recycling program.
The more they focus on SoCs, the less material they'll use overall, but the harder it'll become to make use of those resources, once they've come to the end of their life.
I know they've dabbled, but if I was going to guess, I'd suggest Apple will (should) be the first to try for a 99% cradle to grave product.
Tech needs it.
- I think in 15-20 years we'll have oodles of ML and Database-guided robots stripping apart old tech to reclaim resources.
We should be doing this now.Nairn

When will it be safe to install "Big Sur"? Has Apple fixed their "innovative" software upgrade problem yet?
- Aren’t you a Windoze user?NBQ00
- Big sur is vey laggy on my 2018 imactank02

- Running fine for me. Only thing i've noticed is my magic mouse keeps losing connectivity though i'm not sure if its a Big Sur or M1 Mac issuejosh909
- josh909, if it is a magic mouse 1, it is probably your battery jiggling loose when you put it down. Mine did that too.capn_ron

My iPhone XR full charge went from lasting +20hs to ~10 from one day to another. Coincidentally, I updated to the new iOS 14 version last week. I’m really pissed.
- Don’t worry, you’ll be entitled to about $7 after a class action lawsuit in 5 to 10 years.nb

- This only happens with Apple phones. Literally no other phones batteries are affected like this except apples. Don’t be an idiot and buy Apple phones. They suckmonospaced
- check your settings that doesn't sound right.inteliboy
- they do suck, Ben. android phones can just replace the battery and move on. but yay to slave labor profits, right?imbecile

Sketchy Report Says Apple Car is Years Ahead of Schedule, Will Debut Next Year: https://www.macrumors.com/2020/1…
- It will look like a Lada from 1978 but cost $120,000 and have paint made from the crushed bones of elephants.face_melter
- And have a promo video of it running over children (in slo-mo, natch), to a specially commissioned soundtrack by FKA Tweegs and Mumford and Cunts.face_melter
- The bodywork will be made almost entirely of glass for unmatched lustre, though one small rock strike could shatter the entire body, requiring a replacement.monNom
- 1/2 battery life and memory when newer models released!instrmntl
- All assembled by prisoners who work for $2 an hour, but the prison is powered by 100% renewable energy so no-one needs to feel guilty.face_melter
- I feel like what's more likely is that Apple will license some technology to be used in cars vs make an actual car themselves. Kinda like Apple TV?monospaced

- Why not mono, it’s associated to Apple products and I posted an example earlier just to show the outrageous price.NBQ00
- that association is debatable, these are basically just fancy cases for a semi luxury brand what is using apple and elon to promote their products.sted
- can't find any detail regarding the materials and manufacturing methods use, like with any other proper luxury product.sted
- Yeah. But these aren’t apple products. They do the same pricing for Samsung editions.monospaced

Bought new iPhone SE from Apple in Aug 2020.
Today, five months later, the following things happen:
- notification that Apple can’t determine if a genuine battery is installed
- battery indicator stuck at less than 5%
- phone shuts down repeatedly and often
Any ideas?
- Trying to get info from Apple, no luck yetnb
- That’s a featureNBQ00
- Apple - not even once.********
- book an apple store appointment, walk in, and either get fixed or replaced on the spot. usually is free.inteliboy
- Are you holding it the wrong way?Chimp
- Back it up, get a replacement. Life's too short to be dealing with Apple's goons.face_melter
- go to a Apple store, its only 4 months old. they will fix it/replace it. No worriesBennn
- What do I say to get a replacement? Dealing with Apple support this morning is terrible. Fuck this companynb
- “Please book an appt, here is a link. Note that they look very busy.” *checks link, nearest avail: +100 miles away!!!!nb
- Other option is they can charge me the price of a new phone while I wait 8-10 days via mail? lolwtfnb

So either Apple has a bug in the software or apple is selling phones from their US site that have either
a) defective batteries, or
b) non-genuine partsAfter two hours of debating with Apple Support via chat, this is the best I get from them:
Since all their techs are booked (indefinitely) except for some small town over 100 miles away, they have agreed to replace it by mail.
However, if they decide later that it wasn't defective, I'll be charged the full price of a new phone. In the meantime, they're holding that money.
After agreeing to this and entering my credit card information I get all the confirmation emails.
Ten minutes later, an email informing me I'll be charged $29 for this service. At no point earlier did anyone mention this fee.
I'll be waiting until after I have it all sorted out and then calling my credit card company to reverse the $29. Fuck that bullshit.
- Seriously this is really shitty service. Can not return defective product so have to pay money to let them decide if they will replace it.nb
- Fuck Apple********
- That suckBennn
- and that's why my Apple stock keeps going up and up! Keeping throwing money at them, please (no Apple products here, just stock)formed

Anyone else with an iPhone 12 notice how scratched their screens are getting? I can't recall having any scratches on the last 3 versions.
- Apple rolling out new innovation.utopian
- It’s a patina. This increases valueGnash
- Holding it wrong?Chimp
- Apple started using sugar glass for the screens on the 12 - lick it and it will smooth out the pits and scratches.face_melter
- they got caught with the battery cheat; how else would they get you to buy a new one every 12 mo?Krassy
- It is the new ceramic shield. Supposed to be much better. Maybe not?inv
- They dropped GorillaGlass for CallithrixGlassBennn
- they said, "fuck you, buy apple"futurefood
- Krassy. I have the subscription plan. I upgrade every year, and haven't found a reason to stop doing that.mg33
- @mg33 is it free to upgrade?Krassy
- Yes. You basically have a 2 year loan that you pay off monthly, but after the first year you can upgrade. You close out the loan and start up a new one.mg33
- they pushed it big when they started it but it's almost like you don't hear much about it now.mg33
- so over the course of, say, 6 years you've paid off (purchased) the equivalent amount for 3 phones?Krassy
- lol @ "free upgrade"! That's one of the most successful marketing/proganda campaigns ever! Nothing is "free" for Christ's sake, they just sucker you intoformed
- a new contract. Anyone, anywhere, could always do that, Apple just, as always, marketed it as an "advantage" and people lapped it up.formed

Apple has repeatedly been accused of benefiting from forced labor in China, and the company is said to have lobbied US lawmakers to weaken a bill intended to ban US companies from relying on Chinese forced labor.
A major Apple supplier is reportedly using forced labor from thousands of Uighur workers to make glass for iPhones.

- Apple launches major new Racial Equity and Justice Initiative projects to challenge systemic racism, advance racial equity nationwidested
- sted1
Cupertino, California — Apple today announced a set of major new projects as part of its $100 million Racial Equity and Justice Initiative (REJI) to help dismantle systemic barriers to opportunity and combat injustices faced by communities of color. These forward-looking and comprehensive efforts include the Propel Center, a first-of-its-kind global innovation and learning hub for Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs); an Apple Developer Academy to support coding and tech education for students in Detroit; and venture capital funding for Black and Brown entrepreneurs. Together, Apple’s REJI commitments aim to expand opportunities for communities of color across the country and to help build the next generation of diverse leaders.
“We are all accountable to the urgent work of building a more just, more equitable world — and these new projects send a clear signal of Apple’s enduring commitment,” said Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO. “We’re launching REJI’s latest initiatives with partners across a broad range of industries and backgrounds — from students to teachers, developers to entrepreneurs, and community organizers to justice advocates — working together to empower communities that have borne the brunt of racism and discrimination for far too long. We are honored to help bring this vision to bear, and to match our words and actions to the values of equity and inclusion we have always prized at Apple.”

My new M1 Mini is brilliant. 16GB but super fast. It replaced my 2012 i7 MBP with 16GB. I can't believe the speed.
My only issue so far is that I can't print to our large format Epson but Epson says they're on it. Oh, and Muse won't even open. I know that many of you hated Muse but it was my friend for many years.
M1. Check plus in my book.
- I thought Muse was discontinued awhile back.monospaced
- Good to know! Thanks for postingGnash
- I may buy one in a month or sodkoblesky
- man I wish they release the 16 inch MBP soon with these chips, mine is up for renewalernexbcn
- ^ agreed, but I need o new machine now!Gnash
- M1 Macbook Pro is pretty fast too, went the 16gb ram also. When Adobe get on board it could be really good.slappy
