CPSC calls Peloton Tread+ a danger to children and pets
moiety said:AppleInsider staff –
Can we please NOT show that video keyframe image of SOMEONE'S DEAD CHILD? It's in really poor taste. Have a link to the CPSC video without a preview, and include a warning, I beg you.

Apple urging retail staff to wear masks again even if they're vaccinated
sdw2001 said:It is amazing how we just keep repeating the insanity. We know that mask mandates and lockdowns don’t work. This is unequivocal. That is not to say masks don’t work at all, but the way we’re wearing them clearly will not be effective. We aren’t talking about wearing an N 95 or better mask when entering a high risk environment like a medical facility or a nursing home. We’re talking about wearing a piece of cloth or paper across your face while you shop for your new AirPods. It’s not going to do anything.
N95 masks are designed to minimize incoming exposure and transmission. Proper cloth masks are designed to reduce transmission. They help capture the viruses encapsulated in micro droplets as you breathe out, reducing the chance of a contagious person from spreading the virus.Mask wearing has been proven to help reduce spread and the data can be easily seen when comparing places with and without mask mandates (along with how seriously the people take these rules). -

EU hits back at Apple withholding Apple Intelligence from the region
I’m trying to understand the logic of this. Apple creates a feature for its products that no other company can fully replicate. This makes these products more desirable. Then a government wants to force Apple to make the service they invented available to its competitors to use and replicate and profit from? And when Apple says it will not release this service in the region trying to enforce this requirement, they threaten to fine said company for NOT wanting to be forced to give away their technology? Do I understand correctly? Talk about wanting to have your cake and eat it too. Why would any large company work to come up with new ideas, ever, if they’re going to be forced to give them away?
You can’t have it both ways. -

Apple's use of Location Services data tied to UWB management & federal guidelines
rogifan_new said:CloudTalkin said:How to turn a mole hill into a mountain.
Step 1. Implement a function. Tell no on about it.
Step 2. Have it discovered by someone outside the organization.
Step 3. Retroactively explain, then offer an opt out.
Opt out after the fact gives the impression that "we're only offering an opt out because someone found out what we're doing". Unnecessary self infliction.
Apple stop punching yourself in the nuts. The optics are always worse when "caught" doing something. That vaunted Marketing department could have easily preemptively spun this as a security and safety bullet point of the 11 series and 100% we would have had multiple articles extolling the virtues of UWB geofencing. Not a negative peep would have been heard. -
iPhone 15 Pro Max: What it looks like and when it's coming

Apple's iPhone 17 Slim is a wrongheaded approach that ignores what people really want
Does Appleinsider understand what the term rumour means?
“Why does Apple think anyone wants it?“
IT’S A RUMOUR! “Why does Appleinsider write this piece as if this is actually happening?“
Not to mention, Apple explores a lot of options just because it may be desired. Appleinsider writes about this ALL THE TIME!”

EU hits back at Apple withholding Apple Intelligence from the region
avon b7 said:foregoneconclusion said:avon b7 said: It's all completely unnecessary on Apple's part. Why not simply ask the EU and wait for a reply?
If they had simply asked and waited for a reply we wouldn't even be talking about this now. No one would have brought the question up in the first place. Vestager wouldn't have said anything.
But no, Apple decided to FUD things up.
That's their call but it's pretty foolish, petty and probably won't help in the bigger scheme of things.
Apple’s going for friction so... so be it.
