    not seeing this update in the UK
    For those of you not seeing the update - do you have the iOS Beta profile loaded on your phone? If so, you will not see the commercial releases until you remove the profile and restart your phone.

    You'd want your head examined to not ask for your money back and run as far away from this company as humanly possibly after that happening. Waking up and your bedrooom is full of smoke? Feck me, that's scary. Samsung are negligent and totally irresponsible. This will forever tarnish their brand—mark these words. Samsung are not just demonstrating a lack of leadership, but a lack of care and respect. Their products nor their company can no longer be trusted. A real rain is coming.
    Unfortunately, it won't tarnish their brand at all as no major news agency is really yelling about it.  And fandroids don't care either.  They'll buy any piece of junk from Samsung anyway because of their unbelievable hatred for Apple.

  • Ford will stick with CarPlay as GM exits for Google tech

    Mary Barra is totally delusional. That subscription revenue will never happen because Apple customers have the deepest pockets and will totally ignore GM vehicles. 

    I'm one of those that will never buy a GM car because of this stupidity.  At one time, I might have considered an EV from them, but not now.  Thinking that they are going to make 20-25 billion from subscriptions from a car system is totally crazy. I would never pay one cent for a service that my iPhone already provides me while in the car.

  • Apple privately described Android as a 'massive tracking device'

    goofy1958goofy1958
    Well, because Android is a massive tracking device.

    How do you plan to recover when all your products are either under powered (the Mac Mini's GPU) or overpriced (the MacPro) or outdated just like your current iMac and iMac Pro? You have years in between updates were you completely neglect products for your desktop users. Nope, for once I really hope Tim Cook falls flat on his face so he learns a valuable lesson to quit ignoring his customers, instead of focusing on making super profitable products for Apple rather than actually updating products regularly so his customers have the Mac that they want to buy. I would like an updated iMac or affordable Mac Pro. But noooo, instead let's update the MacBook Pro line again for the third time this year!
    The vast majority of Mac users are MacBook users not desktop users and it was that way prior to Cook becoming CEO. So when Apple priorities the MacBook it is doing exactly what you are saying it should do, focusing on what it’s customers want. Focusing on single use cases like yours would get you what you want which is Cook falling flat on his face. Sorry, to say that that does t seem likely.  Bummer for you. Good news is you will always have the AI comments section in which to wail and gnash your teeth. 
    What Apple product(s) do you use, if any?
    I’m not sure what relevance that has to my comment but in no particular order, iPhone, iPad, MacBook, MacMini, Apple Watch, AirPods, HomePod. Currently subscribe to Apple TV+, Apple Arcade and pay for monthly iCloud storage. Also have an Apple Card. I use most most of the products that were firmly bundled as iWork and iLife as well as Logic and FileMaker. I dabble it FCP but not a big user. I also have some Beats stuff kicking around. 

    Edit: also use an AppleTV and Music Memos (such and underrated product). 
    I think he wanted to quote Virtualshift, and accidentally selected your post.

    How short-sighted of you. They are only bringing help from Taiwan on a temporary basis until they can get all of the positions filled by Americans.

  • GM ditching CarPlay could go bad, complain car dealers

    goofy1958goofy1958
    Well, what will happen is that GM will lose customers like us. No carplay and adding in subscription costs - hard pass. We will never own a GM EV because of this, and had actually considered them prior to this boneheaded decision.

  • Apple is already being weirdly criticized for an AI effort that hasn't launched yet

    Personally, I'd rather see Apple develop its own internal AI.
    Well, they have been developing it all along - they just called it Machine Learning instead AI.

  • Why Apple uses integrated memory in Apple Silicon -- and why it's both good and bad

    goofy1958goofy1958
    I've been a Windows PC user my whole life until I got a MacBook from my company to use for a year.  I fell in love with it, so my next PC will be the new MacBook Air 15" with maxed out specs on memory and storage.  It will be more than enough computer for my needs for the foreseeable future. I already have an iPhone, Airpods Pro, Apple TV 4k, and a pair of Homepods, so will be nice to round out my Apple collection.

  • DOJ antitrust lawyers question Beeper over Apple's iMessage hack

    The FTC and DOJ need to open their eyes and understand that Beeper is trying to hack Apple software. This has nothing to do with competition and anyone at the DOJ or FTC with any brain should see it for what it is and understand what it isn't. Messages is Apple's product and just like Microsoft and Google software, along with the million other apps, there's no justifiable requirement that they have to work with each other. 
    However, I definitely think industry should work towards interoperability which has been a decades old problem and source of problems. 
    Well then there’s a lot of work ahead because literally no messenger in existence is interoperable with other messengers. In fact I’d say iMessage is more interoperable than most due it it’s fall back to SMS, which is truly a universal format. 
    That’s why it needs to be an industry effort. For it to happen it will no doubt require legislation. 

    So are you saying that you can't send text messages to anyone you want?  I send to every phone both Apple and Android, so what is the problem?
