Apple has been obsessed with lumps and bumps ever since Stebe died from cancer

Even their battery case has a big gross cancerous bump

Maps question: Can Apple Maps dynamically reroute you on a long drive based on changing traffic conditions. I just noticed that Google Maps started doing this a couple versions ago on iOS and it's pretty sweet. I'm driving down to San Diego for the weekend, and I know how crazy LA traffic can get.

i see they've given up on making the back of the phone aesthetically pleasing since the camera bump, scratch prone casing and pitiful battery life requires that you slap it in a charger case

also tim is allowing yet another leak that is damaging the brand

steve would right now be personally conducting a blade runner photo analysis using the reflection on the apple symbol to look around corners and determine which employee will be losing their left hand

It's obviously supposed to be the empty lower aluminum shell with no innards or display. It doesn't even have the inset apple logo, which is a different metal piece that gets pressed into the frame during assembly.

I pray that thing is just a lovely mockup and the real thing is a non-terrible design like an iPhone SE/30

it's quite possibly going to be the last iphone model anyway since they're officially being outsold by samsung so you'd think tim would jazz it up out of desperation but he's getting close to punching out so it's full on lazy mode

it's kind of the only dealbreaker for me right now. i probably won't play it in a month but it's still fun for the time being.
