What is this? I’m sorry, quantum mechanics denies any knowledge of this law and states that there may be those Apple competitors who want to give it away. You are not my boss, quantum mechanics! Macalope is told that, in fact, quantum mechanics is his boss. Well, that’s what happened this week. “Meta’s Apple Watch competitor is now on hold as the company focuses on AR / VR” “We are moving from dystopian personal monitoring devices to dystopian devices that embrace the face.” Beautiful. Very branded. Eta Meta was working on a new smartwatch with a built-in camera to compete with the Apple Watch. Now, Facebook’s parent company has stopped developing this wearable as it focuses on metaverse. Well, that’s just wonderful! Now how will Macalope be constantly monitored and all his biometrics and all his biometric data sold to advertisers? Should he gather this information and sell it himself? That sounds like a lot of work! If we can not count on Meta to track all our moves and most of our personal information and sell it to advertisers, then who can we count on ?! Alas, you will get stuck with this stupid Apple Watch for privacy. So do not expect furniture ads to appear in your Instagram feed the next time you walk into an Ikea. Trying to compete with the Apple Watch right now is like trying to run uphill through a pudding slide to the middle. It is possible, but you have to be quite dedicated. So what about building a new smartphone ?! Oh, this is the ticket. Yes, while the Fire Phone and the Essential Phone were both delivered to the rubbish heap of would-be iPhone killers, drugs continue to come forever. Welcome – and Macalope is legally obliged to note here that he does not make that name – the Nothing phone. “Nothing’s first smartphone is aimed at Apple, not OnePlus” After the mediocre success of the Ear 1 headphones, Nothing reaches the field of smartphones, reaching the point of revealing its offer a month earlier. Yes, soon everything will change. And what will change it? Nothing. But Nothing is not ready to talk about specifications or price. Take your time. IDG What does he look like? It looks a bit like an iPhone 11 with a clean back. And it obviously lights up, probably to convey certain types of alerts. Nice, but if sellers are going to be able to ship screens always open soon, it does not look like the lights will last long. The user interface, a skinny version of Android that looks like a European train station status board, is definitely a different look that some consumers looking for a change will probably like, but not many platforms are likely to change. So while Nothing’s Carl Pei may be throwing away iPhone features that his company wants to compete with, he’s a bit like Macalope who says he likes Taika Waititi’s movies, so he expects to one day become friends with him. (But, seriously, Taika, if you’re reading it, call me.) IDC Francisco Jeronimo is a little hesitant about the transformative forces of the Nothing Phone. I see some [sic] a lot of @nothing phone advertising campaign that I start to suspect that there is nothing special about this phone other than its cover and a lot of internet marketing. I hope you prove me wrong @getpeid When so little is known about the device other than what it wants to compare itself to the iPhone, Macalope tends to agree.
