Executive leading HealthKit, other software platforms leaves Apple

And yet 80-90% of iOS users use Facebook or Google or both.spice-boy said:
The day Apple uses my data for their profit is the day I quit using Apple products. If you want a major corporation to use your data please switch over to anything Google or Facebook.sog35 said:Do I blame her?
HELL NO.
why? Because of Tim Cook's dumb ass privacy crusade she has one hand tied behind her back.
How the hell can she do here job if Cook refuses to use the data from hundreds of millions of Apple users?
Tim Cook needs to resign. His dumb ass social, policital, and privacy crusades are hurting the company.
Apple has 500 million of the most valuable customers on the planet. Yet Cook refuses to use the data from these customers to open more revenue streams.
Cook preaches privacy, yet Google is still the default search on iOS.
Cook preaches privacy, yet 80-90% of iOS users use Facebook or Google or both.
Its beyond pathetic that Apple's competitors attack Apple's main revenue streams by bringing out hardware products.
Yet Apple refuses to fight back with their own search, social, and AI platforms.
If Cook had half a brain Apple would have developed and released a Google search competitor by now. Or a Facebook competitor. But because of Cooks dumb ass privacy crusade we see neither. And Amazon, Samsung, Microsoft, ect continue to make inroads into Apple's hardware business.
Close to 99% use Facebook or Google or Amazon or Netflix. All of these companies use your data.
No one cares. Especially not the majority of Apple customers.
The only one who cares is Tim Cook.
Your rants and drivel continue to get more and more outlandish. This really shouldn't need to be said but you are either to daft to understand or choose to look like a moron. The issue of privacy does not change for Apple at the end of the day if a user uses Facebook or Gooole that is ultimately the end users choice but should not be used as a product direction for the product as a whole. Just because a group of people don't value something as much as they should does not mean that it should be thrown out completely.

France approves digital tax measures against Apple despite US pressure
Digital revenue generated in France.delreyjones said:
It's not clear to me if the 3% tax would be on all of Apple's revenue or just its services revenue. Is it clear to others?roake said:
So imagine if every UN country charged Apple an additional 3% on revenue.pjs_socal said:I am surprised that it took EU countries this long to enact these kinds of taxes. It’s common knowledge that Apple (with help from Ireland) took advantage of loopholes in international tax laws to reduce their tax burden. Of course, Apple has done nothing illegal, but it’s completely within each country’s rights to change tax laws to close those loopholes.

Apple's health hires geared towards sharing, interpreting data, including new Watch apps
I am not a doctor but your familiarity with a concentrated sugar dispenser should really be a concern if you are so worried about your health.TomE said:It is like the new Coke machines - they slow down the dispensing of the product. 3-4 clicks to select a Raspberry Coke. Once I got used to it, Coke marketing (idiots) changed the programing of the machine. Not an Improvement Coke - Read this Apple - Keep it simple. Make it work fast.

Preorders for iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro have begun
As long as you don’t choose AT&T or Boost as the phone carrier the phone you receive is unlocked. Then during setup you can either transfer your eSIM or use the carrier’s app to install a new eSIM.StrangeDays said:The pre-order prep process in app was very nice. Once it was time it took a few minutes for it to bring me in, then it was a snap.
Only thing that irks me is Apple Card monthly installments are artificially limited to the big carriers for no logical reason. If you want unlocked (for Mint Mobile) you need to buy at full-price. -
Apple to launch 'iPhone 11' on Sept. 20, celebrate with reopening of Fifth Avenue store in...
The ticket price for the free jacket was also $1,600....22july2013 said:
Apple gave out free jackets at the last big Apple event a few months ago. I imagine jackets cost $100 each. What will a Tag cost, $29? $19? $9?Japhey said:
Yeah! Delivered on golden pillows by magical unicorns. Keep dreaming friend.22july2013 said:If "Apple Tags" are going to be announced on the Sept 10th event, I'm sure Apple will give a free Tag to everyone at the event and Apple may use free Tags as a promotional idea from time to time such as store openings.

Apple shares hammered after Trump tariff announcement
Now that the tariffs are in place and are clamping down on immigration I am sure we should see companies starting production in the US in the coming days if not hours. /s

DOJ seeks to break up Google ad business after illegal monopoly ruling
Highly unlikely that the current administration follows through on this unless one of his benefactors wants to buy it for a discount, with a nice kickback for him.

Lawsuit accuses Apple Pay of taking unauthorized subscription payments
Anecdotal account but I have had immediate success disputing charges with AppleCard and GS. Saw the transaction in the wallet app, clicking into, clicked Report Issue, waited about 1 minute to reach a support person, explained that the charge was either wrong or that I never received the item and had tried already to resolve it with the merchant. Received a refund within 5 minutes with the support agent said that if they had any issues that they would contact me for further details. Then I think 60 days later I would get an email saying that the claim was resolved and nothing more was needed from me.

Tim Cook says AI & augmented reality are core technologies in Apple's future
I have used Siri exclusively for the past couple months with a completely shattered phone screen. The only difference between the screen off and on is a slight blur that occasionally lets me see how much signal I have. Everyone I see asks me why I haven't upgraded or replaced the screen yet and honestly I don't really mind it. Sure it is a pain in the butt with emails but I have my laptop and iPad for those. My only complaint is that Siri sucks for replying to group chats which I am in multiple of but other then that I really can't complain.ihatescreennames said:
I never really understand these kind of comments as Siri works great for me. In general I use it to send texts, read texts, for unit/currency conversion, quick math, calling contacts and non-contacts (such as "Hey Siri, call The Summer House", a local ice cream shop), to turn on/off/dim the lights or the stereo (HomeKit), to get directions, to play/change music, etc. I do several of these things multiple times a day and very rarely have issues. The biggest issues for me are when I'm trying to initiate a command over Bluetooth in my car where Siri has more trouble understanding me and it has a slower response time (to start). Also, I use Siri on my Apple Watch and my iPhone and for both have very few trouble spots (but more on the Watch).wizard69 said:If Siri is any examsle Apple has a very very long ways to go with AI technology. Right now Siri appears to be a sock puppet.
What makes you say Siri appears to be a sock puppet? This is a genuine question because my experience is largely different from that.
Don't get me wrong I will be first inline for whatever the next release is but until then I will happily use Siri without problems other then the group chat issues until the next iPhone is released. -
Apple's Jony Ive donates one-of-a-kind iPad Pro & accessories to charity auction
Veal meat and calf leather are crucial parts of the dairy and meat businesses. Standards of life for the animals in most of the developed world have improved greatly in recent years. If you choose to eat beef or drink cows milk you should be eating veal too. It is the only way you can truly respect and animal that is losing its life for your dinner plate.dreyfus2 said:Steve Jobs, as a pescatarian, would have never approved "an orange made from Italian calf leather". Apple meet doom. /scnr Looks amazing. Wish they would make just any nice color cover for the 12.9 Pro in leather at all.
