The key to getting MVC correct is understanding what models are

Smalltalk MVC is defined in Design Pattern as: MVC Consists of three kinds of objects. The Model is the application object, the View is its screen presentation, and the Controller defines the way the user interface reacts to user input. However this definition has been abused over the years - Back in 2003 I gave a talk citing how bad Apple’s definition was. At the time it stated: A view object knows how to display and possibly edit data from the application’s model… A controller object acts a

Apple could reintroduce iPhone mini thanks to this recent lineup change, here’s how

In 2020, Apple surprised a lot of people by re-entering a neglected segment of the smartphone market: small phones.

Unfortunately, it didn’t live for too long, but thanks to a recent lineup change, a new window might’ve opened for its resurgence. iPhone mini history The iPhone mini ultimately lived a 2 year life.

Apple plans to release iPhone 17 and more at the 'Awe Dropping' event September 9: Here's everything to expect

We're now just days away from the Apple's September 9 event, where the company is all but certain to unveil the iPhone 17 line. This year's theme of "Awe dropping," which was featured in Apple's invitations to the media sent on August 26 doesn't reveal much by way of clues, though some think the heat-mapped Apple logo is indicative of better thermal cooling in the new models. But more importantly, we already know how to watch the Apple iPhone 17 event itself: The keynote will be livestreamed on

Apple faces lawsuit over alleged use of pirated books for AI training

Two authors have filed a lawsuit against Apple, accusing the company of infringing on their copyright by using their books to train its artificial intelligence model without their consent.

They said in their complaint that Applebot, the company's scraper, can "reach 'shadow libraries'" made up of unlicensed copyrighted books, including (on

Will Apple Launch AirPods Pro 3 This Year? Here's What We're Expecting

It's looking like we won't see a new version of the AirPods Max this year, but predictions still dictate that there could indeed be AirPods Pro 3 at Apple's iPhone 17 launch event on Tuesday. Apple last updated its flagship AirPods Pro buds in 2022 and released two all-new versions of Apple's open earbuds -- the AirPods 4 and AirPods 4 with Active Noise Canceling -- at last year's iPhone 16 event.

The Apple Watch Series 11 Could Share the Stage at Next Week's Event

All eyes are on Apple's September 9 "Awe Dropping" event, where a fresh batch of Apple Watches is expected to take center stage alongside the new iPhone 17 lineup. While the Series 11 will almost certainly headline, Apple may have already tipped its hand on the next Ultra. Imagery found in the iOS 26 public beta (first spotted by MacRumors ) shows display specs that don't match any current model, and the two-year update cycle only strengthens the case that the rugged Apple Watch Ultra 3 is on th

Silicon Valley’s most powerful alliance just got stronger

Eddy Cue deserves a raise. As the executive overseeing Apple’s services division, he’s highly incentivized to protect the tens of billions of dollars a year that Google pays to be the default search engine in Safari. “I’ve lost a lot of sleep thinking about it,” he said from the witness stand during Google’s antitrust trial earlier this year. Luckily for Cue, his court testimony appears to have had a significant impact on Judge Amit Mehta, who ruled this week that Google’s default payments to
