From AppleInsider: Base iPhone 15 models will get 48 megapixel cameras, says KuoPersonally, I think 48MP in a small sensor like we see on a phone will be too much. Though, I guess Apple will do some software magic to use the pixels to produce better low light images. Too bad about the Android phones not being able to get the sensors. (sorry, not sorry)

Ultra-Rare 1990s Apple Sneakers Now on Sale for $50,000 Anyone need some new Shoes? An ultra-rare pair of official Apple-branded sneakers are now on sale from the auction house Sotheby's for $50,000 (via BBC News). The Omega Sports Apple Computer Sneakers and feature a white leather upper with rainbow Apple logos on the tongue and next to the laces, as well as an air cushioning window in the heel. They come in men's U.S. size 10.5 and are accompanied by an alternative pair of red laces. In 1986, Apple briefly offered a catalogue of Apple-branded merchandise and clothing available under "The Apple Collection," featuring the rainbow logo and Macintosh computer imagery. Yet these shoes were custom-made for Apple employees in the 1990s, available only as a one-time giveaway at a conference. They have never been sold to the public before and Sotheby's say that the pair of sneakers is "one of the most obscure in existence." The online listing reads: Custom-made for Apple employees, these ultra-rare sneakers were a one-time giveaway at a National Sales Conference in the mid-'90s. More than 22,000 Apple consumers purchased clothing and accessories from the brand in 1985, a testament to the public's dedication across categories. For the products outside of Apple's zone of expertise, they would partner with leading brands such as Lamy, Honda, and Braun to apply their iconic Apple branding to various white label products. Featuring a predominately white upper, the old school rainbow Apple logo — on both the tongue and lateral quarter — is a standout detail. Having never reached the general public, this particular pair of sneakers is one of the most obscure in existence and highly coveted on the resale market. While they are said to be "new in the box," there are slight imperfections such as yellowing around the midsoles and glue, and light marks on the toe boxes due to their age.

Just saw a story that the FTC is going to assemble a circular firing squad and go after Amazon, so I'll say Apple. Investors want growth. The FTC doesn't. Someone was squawking that Google's beat was largely due to buybacks, but I hate the company too much too look.

Meta had their earnings. • Daily active people +7% Y/Y to 3.07B. • Revenue +11% Y/Y to $32B ($1.2B beat). • Operating margin 29% (flat Y/Y). • FCF margin 34% (+19pp Y/Y). • EPS $2.98 ($0.05 beat). Q3 FY23 guidance: • Revenue ~$32B-$34.5 (~$2B beat). 317.01 +18.44 (+6.18%) (after a +1.48% day during regular trading) I wouldn't mind that kind of an bump for AAPL earnings.

Looks like this is on the main can page: www.cnn.com/style/article/apple-sneakers-sale-intl-scli/index.html It will be interesting to see how much of this stuff comes to market. I remember seeing an Apple logo'd wind surf board hanging in an office or cube somewhere. That's got to be worth something. But other things were one of a kind too, like an Apple bike jacket. Somewhere I have an old Apple analog watch, but I think I bought that around 1998 from the on-site Apple store, so there are probably many (thousands?) around. Oh well. I hope someone ended up with the things from Icon Park when it was pulled out. Those were kinda cool, in a pixelated old-school way.
