Is it Time for Apple to Launch its Own Search Engine?

Is it Time for Apple to Launch its Own Search Engine?
The introduction of Chat-GPT has reshaped the search engine industry, creating a perfect opportunity for Apple to launch its search engine platform. Search engine industry is due for a major reshuffle with the advent of Chat-GPT, leading people to find exact solution or opinion and to explore alternatives to Google’s dominant search. Now it’s a perfect time for Apple to capitalize on this shift and launch its own search engine platform, which could incorporate the advanced features of Siri and other technologies.
  • Need for an Alternative Search Engine : For many years, Google has been the dominant player in the search engine market, but the emergence of Bing by incorporating few features from Chat-GPT and other search engines exploring option to incorporate similar enhancements has begun to challenge its supremacy. With Chat-GPT's introduction, people are seeking more from their search engines, and Google may no longer be able to meet their expectations.
  • Opportunity to incorporate Siri's Capabilities: Siri, with its advanced natural language processing abilities, could be one of the Apple's most significant differentiators in the search engine space. The NLP features could be integrated into a new search engine platform, providing users with more precise and relevant search results.
  • Incorporating Apple device dominance: Despite the challenges, there are also several potential benefits to Apple launching its search engine platform. Apple is renowned for its user experience focus, and a new search engine could provide users with a more personalized and superior experience. Apple too has the potential to join the client input from Apple's gadgets and administrations, such as Apple Maps and Apple Music, it may make a more comprehensive look encounter.
By incorporating Siri's features and other advanced technologies, Apple could create a search engine that fulfills the needs of modern users. To read more such articles, please feel free to check out the articles published in “G R Team Sites”

Convincing reasons to buy memory foam tips for my AirPods Pro

 Convincing reasons to buy memory foam tips for my AirPods ProAs I had detailed in my earlier article about the ear tip issue in my right side AirPods pro and often had to re-align in my ear to get ‘Good Seal’ outcome during Apple’s in-built ear tip test. While I was checking out internet about the possible solution for my AirPods pro re-alignment issue, most experts were of opinion to try out for memory foam tips and few users noticed that memory foam tips solved their AirPods pro fitment issues. Following pointers were convincing enough for me to buy memory foam tips to resolve my AirPods pro issues.

  • Better fitment in the ears: Most users were suggesting that the memory foam ear tip had better fitment than the original Apple silicone ear tips and were also of opinion that, since memory foam would adjust itself based on the ear size. Since, the ear size varies from people to people, the memory foam ear tip option was convincing enough for me and I had opinion that my ear size was different, which impacted Apple’s silicone ear tip seal.
  • Enhanced Bass in memory foam ear tips: The users who bought memory foam ear tips were of opinion that the memory foam ear tip had better bass than the Apple’s silicon ear tip. Since, I was able to notice bass loss while watching Dolby Atmos supported movies in OTT platform, I was convinced that opting for memory foam ear tip would solve both bass loss issue and fitment or Good Seal issue in my ear.

The above listed pointers may be convincing enough for the readers to opt for the memory foam ear tips over Apple’s silicone ear tips, however opting for memory foam ear tips did not solve my issues and it got even worse. To know more about my experience with memory foam ear tip in AirPods Pro, please feel free to check out the articles published in “G R Team Sites.”

Apple Pencil 1st Generation will be ceased in 2022

 Apple Pencil 1st Generation will be ceased in 2022

Apple Pencil 1st generation have been in the market for past few years and ever since it was launched, it has not been getting further enhancements or new features in the latest launch events. There are couple of reasons why the first-generation Apple pencil might be discontinued and may be moved into Apple’s obsolete products list. Here are my reasons on why Apple Pencil 1st generation might be discontinued:
  • Supported only by one Generation of iPad: As of now, the apple pencil 1st generation has been supported only by one generation of the iPad – the 9th Generation. Which means that, an iPad accessory is in the production only for the support for single product and the long-time production manufacturing with software updates will become more complicated than ever. So, apple might think of discontinuing the product, rather than spending millions in manufacturing and allocating their resources for compliant software updates.
  • Lack of new features: Apple Pencil 1st generation has not got any new features or software enhancement for a long time and with being idle for a long time directly means that the product might get killed sooner than later. With all the iPad models moving to USB-C connectivity, the next generation iPad might also move to USB-C connectivity.
Hope, Apple makes the announcement on the Apple 1st generation discontinuation sooner than later and launches more exciting new product that makes iPad more productive. For more such articles, please feel free to check out the “G R Team Sites”

My comparison of M2 or M1 MacBook Air or expensive M1 pro


My comparison of M2 or M1 MacBook Air or expensive M1 pro
As I have detailed in my other articles published in "G R Team Sites", I have been using MAC operating system as my primary device for past few years and felt comfortable in using the MacBook. Being in Apple ecosystem for past few years, I have no intention of exiting the ecosystem and have plans to continue for few more years. However, recently my 2012 MacBook Pro had started to give few issues and I am planning to upgrade to the latest version of MacBook’s available. But, with the recent launch of M1 pro, the oscillation of selecting preferred MacBook's have grown higher and following are my observation on each version of MacBook
  • M1 Pro launched in 2021: M1 Pro was recently launched, and the processing speeds were exceeding the expectations based on technology experts. However, with new mini-LED screen, M1 processors & notch, the laptop would be future proof for next few years and the pricing was off my budget. 
  • M1 MacBook Pro 2020: MacBook Pro with M1 processor have set new benchmarks with its processing power and the pricing seems to a little way over my budget. However, with specifications seems to be on par with MacBook air and with speculations of touch bar being removed in upcoming versions, opting for the current version seems unpractical. 
  • M1 MacBook Air 2020: This laptop seemed like perfect match for my requirements and was well within my budget. However, with imminent launch of M2 processor and expectations on new benchmarks, investing on older version makes little sense. 
Will reveal further about my decision on MacBook in my upcoming articles.

Disappointing iPad 9th Generation with lukewarm design and processor

Disappointing iPad 9th Generation with lukewarm design and processor

After much fanfare and leaks from different tech experts, Apple has finally launched iPad 9th generation and I was completely disappointed with the version launched. I have few pointers about the recently launched iPad version and wanted to detail them in this article. Here is the list
  • Boring design with no major updates: iPad 9th generation was released with same old design as 7th & 8th generation iPads with no better display or USB type C support and even did not include support for Pencil 2nd version, while the iPad mini got both design revamp and support for iPad pencil. 
  • Lukewarm processor: Apple has inducted A13 bionic processor into 9th generation iPad and the processor was couple of years old with nominal results when compared to recently launched processors. The processor will anyways have power to handle all day-to-day tasks and will be disappointing for people, who were looking for high processors from this affordable iPad for their work. 
  • Lack of differentiating feature: Other than affordability, the newest iPad 9the generation process does not include any new innovative feature or enhancements for existing users to move from their old iPads to the latest iPads.
Hope, apple does a revamp of iPad's 10th generation like it did for iPad mini or else, the users will stick to their existing old iPads longer than needed, while enjoying all new iPadOS features in their existing devices.

My view on transfer from Google Photos to OneDrive

It has been few weeks since I switched to OneDrive as my preferring online cloud platform and to back up my mobile photos & videos. Post migration to OneDrive, I had hiccup of extracting my old photos from RAR file exported from Google Photos to OneDrive. However, in this article, I wanted to detail the comparison between Google Photos and OneDrive, focusing only about photos and its features

Google Photos: 

  • Memories: For each day, the app shows different memories happened over years. 
  • Uniqueness: At times, even shares some collage photos with similar photos taken earlier
  • Effects: 
    • At times, the Google adds cinematic effects or 3D effects to photos
    • Additionally, Google shares animation effects for group of similar photos or for videos
OneDrive:
  • Memories: Shares only the images/photos taken during same timeline
  • Uniqueness: 
    • Saves Photos & videos with source format. Example:
      • Stores live photos as it is
    • Video files are saved in source quality and no compression of file is name
  • Effects:   No effects are applied, the file is saved and stored as it is.
For below comparison, taken photo of credit cards and uploaded both files into Google Photos and OneDrive

Google Photos: 
  • Photo Search functionalities
    • Search Term: card(s)
      • Shows up results of only photos with single card
      • Does not show up photos holding multiple cards 
  • Improvements needed
    • Need to allow users to enable option for saving photos or videos in source format
    • Photo search to be improved a little bit compared to OneDrive
OneDrive:
    • Photo Search functionalities
      • Shows up results of photos of all photos having single card or multiple cards.
      • Shows up results on filename having card as well
    • Improvements needed
      • Need memories function to be improved, so more such photos are shown up
      • Photo Effects option to be enabled
      • While searching, there should have been choice to filter out filetypes like PDF or JPEG files only

    Why should I get new M1 Macbook Air 2020

    For a long time, I was looking to get new MacBook as replacement for my older MacBook Pro due to its slowness and lack of updates or no option to get newer version of operating system. I wanted to get newer M1 MacBook Air for the following reasons.
    • Superior performance: The M1 version was already breaking all benchmark results and the performance far better than earlier versions. 
    • Future-proof for next 5 years: Since newer version of M1 MacBook was launched only at 2020, the next few iterations of software will support the laptop and all the new features will support the laptop at least for 5 years. 
    • Reliability: The reviewers were praising Apple for delivering on what it had promised, and I am sure the reliability of M1 MacBook Air will exceed the reliability expectation levels. 
    • Battery: The last and most impacted feature of the new M1 MacBook Air is the superior and consistent battery performance. If Apple has committed some hours on battery performance, then I am sure it will exceed the expectations with the normal usage.

    Feeling bad for trusting Google Photos  

    Eventually Google had announced that storage for photos will be counted against the defined limit and users need to pay if their photos exceed the limit. So, I had started to look out for alternative online storage choice available for storing photos and most important criteria I have set while choosing online storage option was the affordability. Google photos cloud storage pricing was little bit higher than the competitors like Microsoft’s OneDrive and moving out from Google photos was added pain in the ass. Even though, Google has enabled seamless moving to other competitor online cloud storage option easier, the ease of backup and familiarity in using Google photos for such long-time was a major hurdle while looking out. In addition, trusting Google photos unlimited storage option for lifetime, I have installed Google photos app in all my relatives and family members' phone. It did not stop there, I have convinced them to upload all their old mobile photo into Google photos and ensured they follow this practice, even if they switch their mobile phones every year. Now, if I am moving out of Google photos, then I need to lookout for option that offers family sharing and larger storage space at an affordable pricing. Checkout my decision on online cloud storage for photos backup in blog posts published in “G R Team sites”

    Necessity was lost in getting new mobile phones

    In recent times, mobile phones have become one of the most important gadgets and can be found with almost every citizen in this world. The basic functionality of the mobile phone is to connect people wherever they are and to ease communication between people. Let us get to the point, most mobile phones launched recently have focused primarily on cameras and processor. However, earlier the iterations in camera were noticeable and the upgrade made sense. Recently, the cameras upgrade made by companies were very minimal and the changes were hard to detect. The prices of the mobile phones have also gone up drastically and the value of mobile phone upgrade makes very little sense. People were forced to select mobile phones based on the compulsion to show off their status and financial ability to get upgraded mobile phones. With the COVID pandemic hitting everyone hard, the time has come to compare the basic functionalities of mobile phone and the cost associated with it.

    Manager again assigned me irritating opportunity

    I was somehow confused about this opportunity because, the manager was not that good with me and he would assign only complicated opportunities to me. Trusting this manager for one time, I told other manager that I would be able to support the opportunity, even though it is from most irritating account in my team. My team’s other manager looped me into this opportunity from one of the most irritating account and notified to my manager that I will be working on this opportunity. After completing that irritating opportunity, I was hoping that this opportunity would be much easier than the earlier one and got connected with the delivery person to acquire the background about the opportunity details and the amount of work required from my end. The initial call was much smoother than I expected, I got some information from the delivery person and opportunity seemed straight forward and I had a standard set of slides to be incorporated for the deck to be shared.
