I know we're all supposed to define everything via data now. I feel sure there are many on Tinder whose profiles includes phrases such as "Double Support Time in the low teens" and "37,000 steps a day, man," perhaps without the comma.
Apple, why have you done this to me?
This wasn't, sadly, the last of it.
The Cupertino, California-based technology giant said it discovered several weeks ago that the Taiwanese manufacturer misclassified student workers and allowed some to work nights and overtime in violation of Apple’s Supplier Code of Conduct. Employees then “went to extraordinary lengths” to cover up the violations. It’s since placed its partner on probation until corrective action is completed, the U.S. company said in a statement.
Pegatron is one of just a handful of partners Apple relies on globally to assemble marquee products such as the iPhone. Like larger rival Foxconn or Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., the Taiwanese company is an integral part of Apple’s global supply chain, which has been the target of criticism by labor activists over the years.
The FDA has approved the sale of NightWare, an Apple Watch app (with a corresponding iPhone element) that helps treat nightmares stemming from disorders like PTSD. The system uses smartwatch motion and heart rate data to detect when you’re having a nightmare and vibrate the wristwear in response, arousing (but not waking) you to interrupt bad dreams and maintain sleep.
The new iPad Air that Apple just started shipping is surprising close to what an iPad Pro can do. The implication thus is that there will be new features coming to a newer version of the iPad Pro that will distinguish the Pro and the non-Pro iPads more clearly to justify the higher price point of the Pro line.
And, this week, everyone is expecting another progression of the Apple Silicon transition, with Apple announcing brand new Mac laptops. The new laptops are expected to be faster and less power-hungry, and, perhaps, have wonderful new features that Apple couldn't do with Intel chips?
Now, how then does Apple differentiate the entire mobile computing line, which spans from iPad to MacBook Pro? We will probably not see the big picture yet this week, nor this year, but this will be something interesting to watch as Apple finally reveals its moves.
