A game controller is badly needed. I just want some hack to use Wii U Pro controller. I think Apple should contract with Nintendo to make them a controller.
I know ! Crazy huh !
But that's the truth. Apple for whatever reason wants to support older versions of Windows than their own platforms.
I have absolutely No idea why
If Apple could just get past the 1 gig limit on Apps (to satisfy Windows iTunes users on FAT32
FAT32 has a 4GB file size limit. So the current App size limit has nothing to do with that. I suspect the real reason is the fact that up until very recently Apple was still making devices with a mere 8GB of storage space.
----------
Strictly speaking FAT32 is still used by modern operating systems. Not internally, but with certain external media like SDHC cards and many external hard drives. Why format a hard drive to FAT32 in this day and age? Well because it still offers much better cross platform support than its successor, exFAT.

You know what, ...you are correct , I don't know what I was thinking

I have a couple ~2GB video files stored on my FAT32 formatted external hard drive, so I don't quite understand what limitations you're talking about.
Also, have you considered that Apple might have instituted the limit because
*I forgot that the currently sold iPhone 4 still only has 8GB.

Whatever the reason, I still think (Back to topic) Apple should release it's own controller and up the file size limit. Way too late where I'm at to get into this kind of weirdness.
G'Night
It's a slow news day when a rumor site says a rumor site squashes a rumor.
OMFG!
----------
I would love to see one. It would destroy the vita, what remains of the psp and Nintendo's ds, bs or whatever they call it.

As I remember, the only rumors that Dalrymple comments on are the ones regarding what Apple is NOT doing.
Also, one more point. The story here is "Apple has no plans for a dedicated iOS controller." What if Apple has plans for a controller. One that works for both iOS and OS X. If that's the case Dalrymple is still right. His statement would throw people off of what Apple is developing AND he'd still look like a well connected source. Win/Win
Apple would benefit from this. So, why kill the relationship?
So someone not from Apple said a rumour started by someone else not from Apple won't be happening? Sounds to me like a lot of people trying to guess the future. I'll wait for the word of Apple thanks. That is the facts in this instance.
----------
Apple benefit from this no matter who says what. The more Apple talk out the better for Apple. And Apple just get everyone say and believe what they want and do not get involved in the whole rumour scene at all.
So it does not matter that this random the article talks about only denies Apple rumours. He has no hard facts. He'd be under an NDA if he did. So it's all just a nice Apple talk generating thing.

Of cause this site is for Apple enthusiasts.
"A person who is highly interested in a particular activity or subject"
But this website is not a place for Apple connoisseurs.
"A connoisseur (French traditional (pre-1835) spelling of connaisseur, from Middle-French connoistre, then connaître meaning "to be acquainted with" or "to know somebody/something.") is a person who has a great deal of knowledge about the fine arts, cuisines, or an expert judge in matters of taste"
"expert" is a rare thing on these forums. But still don't say these are bad forums. They are very entertaining to be on.

Apple Has No Plans for iOS Powered Nuclear Submarine...
Seriously, how is Apple not doing something newsworthy? They probably aren't planning on going to the moon either, maybe we should write an article about that?

Apple Has No Plans for Dedicated iOS Gaming Controller = I have no plans for becoming a dedicated iOS gamer
It was a legitimate article to report because it was recently rumoured that they might have plans to do such a thing:
https://www.macrumors.com/2013/03/29/apple-working-on-dedicated-ios-game-controller/
If we ever read or hear about credible rumours Apple are planning on going to the moon, then a follow-up story confirmed the initial rumour was not accurate would be entirely appropriate.

Graphics are already there IMO, but just in case, give it 3 years and phones will out do PS3 and XBOX 360 graphics.
I'd say the graphics capabilities of the more recent iDevices are almost up there with the PSVita. In another generation, they'll be slightly ahead.
...which makes it even more of a shame that Apple won't capitalize on it. An iPad flipped up and using an external controller would be one of the best portable game devices you could get.
.... just like they have No Plans for a Apple Television. We've gone from "content issues", to "4K", and now this ....
Apple will change their minds 1000 times (probably), but at the end of the day, they would have tried all available options, but nothing every goes slowly does it ...
Besides, this looks almost like the PS4... (only allot more crappier). (Looks like something they just got out of a cardboard box.
No way this is an invention of any sort...
If this is what Apple are doing behind the scenes, maybe they should be focusing on more of what most people actually what, instead of worrying about the 65% margin....... try 98%,

Who is this Jim Dalrymple and why hasn't he been investigated for possible insider trading or misappropriation of information? Why hasn't anyone at Apple found who is leaking information to him?
His sources could be in a lot of trouble if they were ever found out.

Apple employees are being water boarded as we speak. Tim'll find out who the informant is.
...Tim always finds out.

You act as like Apple has actually publicly said something about something. They haven't. These are all analyst rumors which have no basis in fact. The only reason you bring these up because you hate Apple.
This did not come from Apple - this is a mockup.
Nobody ever said it was. You trying to imply that it's not shows your Apple hate.
All this has NOTHING to do with Apple. Why do you even visit these boards? You seem to love to hate.
