Apple won't call to ask you to tell them a code you get on your iPhone
As I work for Apple let me point out one small thing. There are a very few legitimate times you need to provide an AppleCare advisor a code sent via sms or gotten from logging into appleid.apple.com - but the key to knowing it is safe is that you have called Apple Support for help or via the website or support app asked Apple to call you.Please share https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204759 with your circle to educate all.

Apple addresses macOS Big Sur upgrade issues impacting 2013 and 2014 MacBook Pro models
That’s not the correct way to reset SMC for the specified models. What you have described is the method for MacBooks with the T2 security chip.

Tim Cook to talk Facebook, 'Tim Apple,' more in interview airing Monday
Peza said:only for it to be leaked Apple had been doing the EXACT same thing without telling anyone, with Siri hearing everything you say without your knowledge.They also had such weak security that simple hacking methods gained easy access to people’s personal photos.As I recall the Siri disclosure was actually in the terms of service not a “secret”. The disclosure is now more explicit, true.What hacking methods are you referring too?
Disclosure: I work for Apple but posts here are my own.

The Apple Vision Pro has already been hacked
Looking at the panic log picture it appears to show this Vision Pro running 1.0 not the current 1.0.2 version of visionOS.

Italian regulator says Apple's iCloud terms are unreasonable, may be illegal
Please read the T&C excerpt accurately. Only iCloud backups are subject to the 180 day window. Not other files stored on iCloud as long as you are paying for the storage.I can’t read Italian, does the report refer to specific Italian law that the terms are in conflict with? If not, no case. -
Apple cuts AppleCare+ prices for M1 MacBook Air, MacBook Pro
AppleCare+ is not insurance, nor is it an extended warranty, it is a service contract. There is a legal distinction. Only AppleCare + with Theft and Loss (only available for iPhones in the US and a couple other regions) has an insurance component.

iCloud class action settlement payout won't even buy a cup of coffee
Could have been even smaller if the attorneys had gotten their requested 33% of the settlement for fees. Apple objected and got the court to lower it to 25%.

Hacker allegedly posed as Apple Support to scam user out of $1,500
Key here is you called Apple directly and the remote software came from an Apple.com web site. Plus the Apple advisor has to provide you the session key to connect. Plus with any screen sharing with Apple we (Disclose I work for Apple) can’t control your device at all. Only view.fork4k said:I've called apple support to fix an issue I was having with iMessage and they did ask me to install remote access software (from here https://ara-prn.apple.com). It felt sketchy as hell but I did it since I knew I called the right apple support number - they somehow did fix iMessage though and there haven't been any weird transactions in my bank account since then, so my hope is that I didn't get scammed (it'd be nuts if I did since I literally called apple support).
