Would like to see the 4 major companies get together and put a stop to telemarketing where the caller uses a Fake telephone number, location, etc.
This needs to stop.

One more thing - Google is not my default search engine now.

And the US goverment wants to sell the chinese farm land.

Should not go up in price.
Electronics, should drastically improve quality and drop price.
This is ridiculous.  Don't think I will get one.

I have never had a problem with iMessage until I put the latest public beta on my Apple M1 Max 64g/2T Mac.  I know about Betas, but have never had a Beta problem either.  Message will without warning completely abort on its own.  It might be after 3-4 lines, sometimes 1 line, sometimes a few paragraphs to my friends.  Works fine on M1 Air that has beta.  If this is any indication of What is To Come, I have just about had it friends.  Message, Calendar, and Safari have been my go to apps for as long as I can remember.  Works fine on iOS beta.  But not on my Mac OS.  No help from Apple either. which I was aware of beore I tried the Public Beta.  I am sick of sending them crash reports on their FeedBack Assistant.  Which they will never repond to either.  

If you have A SIMILAR problem , I think it would be good for someone to post here.  Otherwise, please do not respond.  Take the Chance , Pay the Price.  And you know how decked out a 64g/2T M1 Max Mac is.  Way over kill.   Mac User since 1984 and Apple User since before. 

I know the answer to this as well as everyone else.  Mark Zuckerberg is a big babbling baby. As said above, Apple kickstarted the industry that we have today.  Zuckerberg would not have much if it had not been "juiced up" by Apple.  Apple does not have the majority of products or users in this space. Android has the market sewed up.  Apple is a minority player, but Apple is in great shape after being kicked around or struggling for years.  They made it . . . Facebook is in an entirely different business.  Do I detect a little hint of bad something rotten with Zuckerberg.  

Apple is a hardware & software company that primarily sells hardware; they are demanding.  The "Security & Functionality" of the hardware is paramount.  They don't like to release products that might be flawed.  They also, do not want other players to come to the platform with flawed products that may make their products seem inferior. Thus, if the "others" want to run on Apple Hardware, they must follow Apple's Rules which have a reason for being. If the "others" want to run on Apple's platform, they have to comply with certain rules that Apple demands of itself : it's hardware & software are designed to play well.  Those who come from elsewhere always want to claim foul.  Apple releases information for compliance as soon as possible, but not before it is necessary or too far in advance.  

Therefore there will always be those like Zuckerberg that fuss & whine , hoping the courts of justice or public opinion will rule in their favor.  I use Facebook as an example that can be easily followed.  

Boo Hoo.

This is the concern with initially accepting the answer forced on them by their lack of strong response. The reason for the slow down was engineering. A cell out of balance with the others can (and has for many of my customers) caused a crash/system reset. The fine is ridiculous, Apple might continue to allow inexpensive battery replacement. These types of shake downs are happening in many industries these days. Maybe in a time before good information was a available this was a problem but to continue to find smaller and smaller examples to show that things are still out of control is benefiting very few. I do not for a moment believe that those users have been scammed out of the ROI of their device because Apple chose to limit battery usage when the battery began degrade with age. Not even Apple can stop physics. 

And what about those people who bought new iPhones because Apple told them their was absolutely nothing wrong with their batteries according to Apple diagnostics software.. Apple has got off incredibly lightly so far for its criminal act here, and yes it was a criminal act in some cases, like telling people to buy a new iPhone because their software stated the battery was fine, and let’s not forgot it wasn’t till Apple was caught red handed it was deliberately slowing phones down before they admitted it.. guilt all over them. Personally I’d have slapped Apple with a few billion dollars in fines and placed them under strict audits for 2 years to check they were not misdirecting consumers.

Fortunately Mr Peza, you are not in a position to "Slap Apple with billions in Fines and neither are you in a position to place them under strict Audits".  Apple does everything possible to provide its customers with the best possible engineering & products.  I would not pay anything to the organizations who have filed suit.  Apple saved the Batteries in my opinion.  My 6S+ still works fine with a reduced Maximum Capacity of 92%.  Maybe I will put a new battery in it, maybe not.  Would I like a new battery ? Sure I would , but it is too much trouble for me to have it done.

It is quite an Interesting Set of Questions ... I would pose this question to be pondered :  How else would you provide a Very Elegant Solution to the Data Security Problem.  Apple's combination of Solutions will work across their entire OS spectrum.  Now & in the future.  I do realize that not everyone wants or needs secure data . . .  or do we ?  This is pretty secure at an inexpensive price.  They have thought out the future beyond several iterations of hardware & software.  

What we buy today & drool over is not what will be here in 2-3 years, but it will work.

It would be nice if I could see this data on my Mac.
