  • Apple backs down on CSAM features, postpones launch

    JaiOh81JaiOh81
    I hope this turns into an indefinite postponement. I think Apple meant well with trying to implement these features but I’m glad they’re standing down for now and hopefully this will be like that AirPower pad that never materialized

  • Tim Cook made it clear that Apple won't adopt RCS any time soon

    I get it, I like Tim, we’re from the same county but disagree on this one.  I would rather advanced text messaging work and work well no matter what phone I’m texting too - not buy them or convince them to buy an iPhone.
    You’ve got WhatsApp, Telegram, Wickr, Signal and I’m sure other options that would work for you. But why should apple adopt something that isn’t even fully fleshed out and isn’t something iPhone users care about? Of course they want more ppl to buy iPhones. His response was perfect

    They tend to not censor people….
    I got a 6 day ban for telling MTG she should abort herself. I’d call that censorship

  • Australia orders Apple & others to disclose anti-CSAM measures

    JaiOh81JaiOh81
    Why do you keep pushing the narrative that this stupid idea is inevitable? Apple already does this with iCloud. There is absolutely no reason to do this on device. And the lie that apple will simply refuse to change or add no csam to the hash is nonsense. This is why we don’t want this done on device. People who engage in these disgusting acts will simply use android phones with customized apps to hide behind

    Does anyone know how to change the safari? I hate them tabs on the bottom. I can’t remember how I changed it for iOS 16. Thanks

    Though is that date entry verified somehow?

  • Apple readying for legal battle against European Union's App Store regulations

    JaiOh81JaiOh81
    I don’t understand this. People buy iPhones for the security. The App Store is so popular and successful because people know they can trust it. Yes, scam apps do slip though but it’s insanely simple to get a refund. If people want to side load or use alternative app stores but a phone from any one of the dozens of companies that make smart phones. If you don’t want to live inside the walled garden then don’t buy an iPhone. Nobody is forced to buy apple products.

    So many companies have shameless copied the iPhone, now Apple is accused to setup a system for only themselves ???
    Irony, they name is Governments.
    When it comes to abuse of a dominant market position, using said market position to get leverage in new markets is a big no-no.

    I hope Apple loses this one, so other payment providers also can use the NFC capability. I really don't like Apple getting  the ability to keep a cut on everything we spend
    So don’t use Apple Pay. It’s really that simple

  • Apple files legal challenge over Europe's demand for third-party app stores

    Just imagine if Circle K was forced to carry every brand candy, soda and beer. Also imagine they weren't free to mark-up their product prices as they saw fit! No one is asking the Apple Retail Stores to stock every iPhone charger, or competing smart phones? Why is the digital store different? Especially in Europe, they also won't let you sell car parts that haven't been 'certified' to not compromise their safety or environmental standards. Are they planning on setting up an international body to 'certify' apps as not harmful to the operating system or other apps?

    I don't get it.
    This isn’t the same. Imagine if you had the deed to the land. And then you wanted to have a chevron station next to the circle k. You own the device (deed) because you purchased it. You should be allowed to use it in whatever way you see fit. That means if you’re ok with potential risks you can install a third party App Store. It doesn’t impact any liability on apples side. It doesn’t even increase any cost on their side. It would impact their revenue however 
    We all know the “limitations” that come from owning an iPhone. If you want a phone that you can have multiple app stores on, buy a different phone. There are tons of manufacturers that make smart phones that allow you to side load from anywhere on the internet. I don’t understand what’s so hard about that? It’s like buying a house with an HOA and then complaining the HOA won’t let you do something you know you wouldn’t be allowed to do before you bought the house

  • Beeper Mini for Android lives again, but for how long is anybody's guess

    How long do you give this cat & mouse game until it’s over?
    Probably until iMessage becomes less popular.
    It has nothing to do with iMesaage being "popular." The problem is that iMessage is the default messaging app on iPhones, and iPhone users in the U.S. refuse to use anything else.  So an app like Beeper Mini is the only way for Android and iPhone users to have a halfway decent messaging.experience, especially with group chats.
    WhatsApp, telegram, signal, sessions, etc. There are plenty of third party apps that have been used for many years to send high quality pics and videos between the two platforms
