"FineWoven" is one of the worst bullshit Apple marketing neologisms they've come up with in a while.

I'm 90% certain that they were called "Vegan<something>" at one point until somebody did the market research and realized the absolute poo poo-show that term would cause.

nah, there haven't been any new elements discovered or anything. just an incremental bump. if you, ah, if you like your phone, you can keep it

probably €29. a while ago the exchange rate was almost 1:1, idk what it is now but it can't be too different

I was in Italy when it was 1:1 (and based on my credit card charges, it was better than that at times) and it was very nice buying things that were already relatively cheaper than in the US.

the dollar's a touch weaker right now, but it's still like 1.07USD = 1 EUR

I'm hoping this holds until we go back in the spring

you can't get support with a device bought in another country though. i found that out the hard way and now my wife has a partially busted ipad pro she bought here, with valid applecare+, that she tried to get serviced in korea. no such luck, so now she has to mail it to me and i have to take it to an apple store and then mail it back to her

thanks tim

same for the watches. i got the 8 and it was a notable upgrade from a 3, but the 9 looks like spec bumps and a neat gesture concept that will result in more accidentally dismissed morning alarms imo

jumping up 5 generations was a more noticeable difference than jumping up 1 appears to be, you say :thunk:

i mean!!! it's not that they added a new sensor this generation, or a different screen behavior (brighter is nicer) just more polishing

i do turn alway on on occasionally, so if it's more efficient that's cool but also not a new feature

edit: i guess local siri processing is new? i thought it already did that, though

The universe will cool to 0 degrees Kelvin before that happens again. I don't know what to say other than the market dictates fancier cameras than you can fit in 5mm of depth. Little flip phones exist i guess

it would be neat if we had a basic 4 cylinder car with a carburetor and points you can maintain with a 10mm socket and a flathead screwdriver, too but those are times past.

bearing in mind only sociopaths use their phone without a case, and given that cases exist, a camera bump is actually a good thing
