It’s double tapping your fingers, not the screen. When you are holding something with the other hand.

“In the end, they determined that a minimum colony population of 22 agents was ideal to maintain a feasible Mars mining colony over the long-term.”

iPhone 15 buyers will be reminded Lightning cables are now landfill in c/technology@lemmy.world

I’ll probably buy one or two of the lightning usb-c adapters to use for a while to allow charging when travelling without extra cables.

Upcoming USB-C AirPods Pro Not Expected to Include Any Other Hardware Changes in c/apple_enthusiast@lemmy.world

Now part of me wants to wait for USB-C. The other part of me knows I have a lightning phone that I’ll be keeping for 3 more years. I feel like maybe lightning would be better until I get a USB-C phone.

Ads on the homescreen? in c/apple_enthusiast@lemmy.world

It’s been explained a few times so I won’t repeat what others have said.

But I actually wish App-Clips were more common. I hate having to download a whole app for a one time payment for some company.

I did finally see one for a car park the other day.

I’ve only ever seen one when I’ve been pretty close to the merchant.

This is just a coincidence and not an ad. You happen to be very near that location. As I say I’ve only ever seen one when I’ve been within meters of a merchant that had one. I assume it’s Bluetooth range.

Only to remove a small ad. And as it’s a podcast player, you listen, and don’t really see the Ad ever.

'A19' and 'M5' Chips Discovered on Apple Backend Server in c/apple_enthusiast@lemmy.world

Not surprising. It’s not as if companies only start on the next version once the current one is out. Things like this need planning years in advance. I think I heard on the ATP podcast that Apple are already planning and working on what the M7 will be.

Just because they are testing the M4/M5 doesn’t mean it’s ready, or can be fabricated at scale for an acceptable cost just yet.

All smartphones, including iPhones, must have replaceable batteries by 2027 in the EU in c/technology@lemmy.world

When Apple want to, they can design amazing things. So I look forward to see if they come up with a clever Apple-like way to do this. Or maybe they just make it easier to remove the back.
