    This has been my experience exactly (I’ve tried it in American and international markets, but don’t recall specific cities). I try them like once every 6 months and am always disap…

    And you don't have to explain the driver where you want to go. Other than being an extremely nice feature, I could see that decreasing lane blockage time as well.

    Yep. This happens to me all the time, and is not an edge case at all. Cooking in particular I think will be a much better experience with FaceId. I'm constantly washing my hands, a…

    I'm a huge fan of buses, and public transportation in general. I like riding buses and subways. I think it's semi-magical that you can get such a far distance on a fixed cost. But …

    This so called "guide" only has four things on it? There are so many examples of this. What about Lyft itself? Isn't that just a "taxi"? By the (low) standards of this article, sur…

    I'm not an actual potential customer, but my 2¢ is that I was impressed when I saw Hilton and Chick-Fil-A. (Came to report the same issue, but on Safari.)

    Anecdotally, I've noticed more Apple watches on random wrists in the last few months. And I saw my first Apple Watch boarding pass swipe two days ago.

    I check it occasionally when doing a same-day hotel booking and I have never found a good deal. (I've only tried it for US hotels.) Very often the best price I have already found f…

    It's a fair point about the dilly-dallying (although I believe there are rules like you can't be more than 3 min late, tho I don't know how strict they are.) I've definitely had ro…

    This is too bad. I used the service probably five or six times. They were always my go to for renting a car from the airport. (Never used them to lend out my own car, however.) Int…

    Does anyone think XCode (or some version on it) could be available on iPad Pro someday soon? That would make me very interested in this thing.

    As for FaceTime I think you're SOL. As for iMessage, you can just SMS/MMS text and it's well integrated into the Messages app on both my phone and Mac. My messages to you just appe…

    It would be nice if this results in the Pro features becoming free.

    I wasn't bothered by this inaccuracy. It's close enough to the truth so that the joke makes sense. (Well, as much as the joke can be considered to make sense.)

    If my memory serves, two decades ago they were doing the zip code thing.

    Any chance of Apple covering the bending issue free of charge? I'd actually expect them to if you took it into an Apple Store.

    From what I've heard, Lyft is just testing this sort of heatmap with Android drivers, and that it isn't yet available for iOS drivers.

    Pinterest is social bookmarking and is (obviously) incredibly popular. Delicious pushed "tags" as its killer feature. But if it had dumped putting tags front and center, and instea…

    I happen to agree that the new interface is incredibly difficult to use, UI-wise. In fact, I switched back to old maps for this reason. Unfortunately, I don't recall the specifics …
