Not that big of a stretch. Apple numerous of times was involved politically, like disabling parts of Apple Music and encouraging to protest because a drug addict was killed. Also the pride wallpapers, what is that all about? What if I want MAGA wallpapers? Wouldn’t people mind some of those on their iPhones?
Except it’s 24-100 mm. They’re scamming with the 8x “optical quality” claims. Every year the scams (aka marketing) get deeper, Apple wasn’t as bad in the past.
The “Air” one is probably a test if they could stop those camera scams and simplify the phone maybe focusing on some other things. It barely even matters, one lens is enough, if you need more you’ll want a proper camera anyway.
This year I’d say the phone itself looks like some joke. From orange colors — probably some “diversity” team though it would be funny, because they don’t like the president — to overall cheap looking design, which looks like some unfinished AI generated, 3D printed prototype. You can tell Ive is gone and nobody replaced him.
At least they still have some engineers who scored big with the M chips back in 2020, but barely anyone cares about the chips anymore, they’re all good enough today and competition somewhat caught up.
It looks more or less the same besides the shinier glass effect, which was already there at some extent, very minor redesign. Does look better, though.
But that doesn't look like remission, you still need insulin...? Better control after long fast is expected (using insulin). Have you done c-peptide or antibody tests?
I wouldn't call closed loop systems much of an advancement... Sure, it doses insulin automatically based off of CGM data, but it's barely any better than just injecting yourself. Cons even outweight the pros for some - being constantly attached to a device is no fun. And the slugishness of exogenous insulin (both: the way it is injected and its time of action) diminishes any attempts to achieve precision using CGM data and algorithms in controlling diabetes. Not to mention CGM data isn't that accurate/rapid enough also. All in all, it's just not efficient, calling these systems 'artificial pancreas' is more of a marketing gimmick than reality, thus why a proper cure is needed.
I have great news for you: you can cure it on your own, just get off donuts and move your ass. I'm actually jealous of type 2's.
