I can’t see it in the uk store still? Anyone else unable to see it in other countries?

It's not in Canada yet.

I believe that Call Screening could signal the death of spam calls.

And it "collects no data" from the user. Zilch! Amazing! I'm surprised nobody talks about privacy issues with respect to third party software.

I can't tell if it's a "game" or a "show." After all, they used the word "interactive" to describe it.

Next: trifold phones.

I watched that teaser and I'm sitting here trying to figure out if it's even possible to make me not want to watch a show more than that. Kind of impressive, but probably not in the way they were hoping for.

It might even make me cancel Apple TV+.

From what I understand, it's only for American devices the rest of the world will still see the Gulf of Mexico.

As this is an executive action it will disappear with the next president. 

Are we great yet because I'm just embarrassed

Still showing as Gulf of Mexico here in Canada. I actually appreciate Google's approach of using both names. Embarrassed you should be, as should everyone with a conscience. We are witnessing a world-changing/destroying leadership in action.

I'm in Canada and I'm seeing "Gulf of America" in Apple Maps.

"World destroying leadership"??? For changing a name? You must really hate Biden then, since he probably set the record for changing 650 geographical body names in 2022 alone. But Trump changes one name, and you call him a destroyer of civilization. That's called TDS. Look it up.

And you probably don't know this, but each language and country has its own right to name any feature by any term it wants, for use within its own country. For example, "Mount Everest" is known by many different terms in many different countries. Map makers refer to each country's database of geographical terms to provide individual names for each country. Some languages refer to the "Andromeda Galaxy" as "Fairy Maiden Galaxy." If Trump tried to rename the Andromeda Galaxy to "American Eagle Galaxy" you would probably call him a "civilization destroyer" for that too, right?

(As the article says) we've been using Apple Pay to purchase Walmart goods for five years... here in Canada. And I don't think it's limited to in-store purchases... I believe both their online website and their app for iOS (maybe even for Android) also both accept Apple Pay.

Since 90% of Walmart's products appear to be made in China, I presume China is putting pressure on Walmart to track their users so the Chinese Communist Party can purchase Walmart's user data. ;-)

Given a choice between two identical products (like iPhones, forks, or cashew nuts) where one says "Made in X," where X is a dictatorship, and the other says "Made in Y," where Y is a democracy, I would pay for the one made in Y, even if it's at a much higher price. I realize not many people care about human rights or the environment like I do. I haven't met a single person who shares my values and would buy the higher priced item.

If everyone who writes a comment on this page will send a fee to Dr Seuss for learning from his books to read and speak, then I will pay attention to their views if they oppose AI learning from published sources. But if you aren't willing to pay everyone that you learn from, for every word that comes out of your mouth, then I don't see why AI should have to pay either. Next, are we going to charge aliens for learning English by reading the radio waves that are being sent into deep space?
