@TslaTrths seen your videos. Been very informative. I’m in Frisco in an apt. I‘ve begun research into a new car. Tesla top of list, mostly due to FSD. I work from home. What’s public charging like in reality for Frisco area. I’m right off toll road. Near the first HEB.

@fem_mb @walcraeb @jk_rowling So true.

@walcraeb @jk_rowling At least one person in the crowd was killed, and the shooter is also dead. So hold the skepticism.

People who follow me know I'm no fan of Donald Trump and I don't want him to be president again. But if you're cheering on whoever shot him or lamenting that he's ok, you're a creep. NO violence against political leaders is okay, no matter how you feel about them personally.

@mcuban This is the way.

Let’s just hope the former President is Ok and no one else was injured. And let’s hope they catch the idiot who did this. This is not the way And thank you to the Secret Service who put themselves in harms way to protect the former President

Well.. either I was blind or the private option disappeared but it’s there now. I thought I had set to private before but figured I’d dreamed it. I set it again. Maybe it doesn’t stick session to session.

@InSpaze love the app so far but is there a way to lock a personal space? Not all conversations are for everyone. But more specifically, if my friends are hanging out we might not want strangers popping in the room. Other times, come on by. It should be a choice.

@neilcybart It’s about focus. Apple is focusing on general purpose device and productivity while barely mentioning gaming. Meta is doing exact opposite. Which is right focus? Gaming isn’t it we know that. AVP can do general purpose, is that the winning focus? Ask again in 10 years.

I've been pretty vocal about this - I think headset pricing is a red herring. The experiences found with these devices are a much more important consideration. Meta won't be able to base their HW strategy on just "we are cheaper than Apple."

@markgurman Really seems to be personal preference, but long term use dual band seems to win. Head shape and general feeling appear to be driving factor. In 6 months interested which wins.

I’m done with the Solo Band. It’s essentially a display strap/marketing image but not practical in day to day use.

@TomThumb_Stores Done

@kspore Hi Kelly, we are sorry to hear you did not receive your delivery, and we would like to take a look into this for you. Please DM us with your phone number, email address, and order number. Thank you in advance.

@TomThumb_Stores Yet another failed delivery. This time it was all the heavy items. I live in a building with an elevator, so why? Also didn’t get my receipt! I like Tom Thumb bur why is it so hard to deliver to an apartment building with a loading zone and two elevators?

@20thMaine1653 This type of alert can’t be disabled. You have to turn off the device for 45 minute period after the scheduled test.

@ShishirShelke1 Everyone acts like Samsung and Apple don’t enable super fast charging for conspiracy reasons. It could simply be a technical issue, not of if it’s possible but possible at scale or maybe causes other issues. Could be a procurement issue.

Google - 27W Apple - 27W Samsung - 45W Chinese OEMs: 100/150/240W Does smartphone charging speed matter to you? 🤔

@rsgnl I think at that point it might ask you first time you open Safari.

Okay genuine question: say Google was like nah, we're done paying billions to be the default search engine on the iPhone. Do you think Apple would actually change it to Bing or DuckDuckGo? Wouldn't it want it to be Google still since nearly everyone uses it?

"Our reason for choosing Google as the iPhone's default search engine is very simple," Cue testified. "They pay us a lot of fucking money." /s

@neilcybart Agreed it was an excellent show filled with tension. Awesome limited series. TV+ has had some great shows but so little discussion. The little service that can.

Finished "Hijack" on Apple TV+. So good. Literally on the edge of my seat. Tough to think of another show that was able to do that.

@MacRumors I like mine. Material feels nice in the hand. I did love the leather case and other leather apple products; but Apple has moved away from leather and i don’t see them ever going back. They drew a line in the sand pulling them all including 3rd party deals it seems.

Apple's FineWoven Cases for iPhone 15 Continue to Be Heavily Criticized macrumors.com/2023/09/25/fin…

@tomwarren As I recall at the time Xbox series s was readily available with no bundles and the X wasn’t too hard to find. I think that’s what it’s in reference too. Now if that inflated game sales it’s a point worth noting, but then Xbox had similar issues with only bundled.

Xbox chief Phil Spencer purchased a PS5 last year that was "force bundled" with Horizon Zero Dawn, internal Microsoft emails show. Details here: theverge.com/2023/9/18/2387…

@iMore Little painful, took almost 30 min. But I have a 9/22 delivery. Not that it’s a big deal in the long run.

Did you manage to pre-order an iPhone 15? trib.al/7SQMdJ0

@Brett_leverton @markgurman And I all set up the day before. Only needed to place the order.

@markgurman Hey Mark. I wonder how many people order through the website vs the app. Seem to get a completely different experience based on which you go through. App was working for me today 10mins before the website.

The iPhone 15 Pro Max in all colors and most storage capacities models has already slipped into October for deliveries. In-store availability remains though.

@Brett_leverton @markgurman App didn’t work for me at all. I had to go to website.

@mtgproductionss @markgurman Same.

@markgurman It took me nearly 27 minutes to order mine😑

@markgurman If they announce a new Paperwhite I might hurt someone. I just bought one. Ugh.

In what will be the first of two (yes) tech event announcements today, Amazon says its new devices event will be held on September 20th, 8 days after the iPhone 15 event.
