  • Apple talks up privacy, yet spies on its own staff, says lawsuit

    I work at a large semi-conductor company. Same policy, which is why I have 2 phones. One for work, that’s on the work network and subject to their watch, and one for personal that they cannot touch. Sounds like a bogus lawsuit, this is standard in big tech. Too much IP that can be leaked/stolen and they need accountability

  • iPhone users delay upgrades as Android owners are upgrading often for newer tech

    Android phone manufacturers have vastly surpassed Apple in terms of innovation and offerings.

    What is this vast innovation of which you speak?


    I bought an iPhone 12mini at release and it’s still my only phone. It’s running ios18 very nicely and if I change it then it will only be for a larger capacity iPhone 13mini. The only feature I’d really like from the new phones is the Camera button but I can live without it. 

    Also it helps that I’m not the kind of person to upgrade for the sake of a new model every year. I’ve just bought an M4 iPad Pro to replace the previous model I’d had for 6 years and if it wasn’t for Apple Intelligence and the HDR screen (which is amazing) I would still be using the older model. Apple kit is beautifully made and just lasts and lasts.
    You need only look at most of the iPhone/iOS tent pole features that have appeared over recent times. 

    A lot of them have been available on Android phones for years. 

    That is unlikely to change as there are still major features that have yet to come to iPhone, together with the fact that the big Android manufacturers bring two or more flagships to market every year. 

    IMO, Apple could definitely do more here. 




    What are the “Major” features that iPhone users are missing out on?
