  • A secret tool lets police conduct mass surveillance using app data

    Here we go again.
    Police from around the country (snip)

    Which country? Why are these articles written as if the US is the only country in the world? Fix your editors!  :|


    Thank goodness that Apple is not in the business of selling data!


    It’s a US website. Maybe you should adjust your expectations. When you read a US site, wouldn’t it be logical to think they are talking about the US, rather than naively asking “which country?” and demanding the site fix its editors?

    Fix yourself.

  • Tim Sweeney says App Store is a 'disservice to developers,' wants to protect Metaverse

    appleuseryeahappleuseryeah
    Tim Sweeney is a mad fool and massive hypocrite. His ideas on monetization are completely unreal and nothing he says can be trusted. He is a greedy fsck who would have 1/100th of the business he has now if it wasn’t for Google and Apple. 

    Tim Sweeney, you suck!

  • These features are not in the initial release of iOS 16

    appleuseryeahappleuseryeah
    You say Apple’s iOS 16 software aspirations are too “ambiguous”… did you really mean too ambitious?

    Or am I being too ambitious in my expectations?

    I think the MVNOs will not work without their sim card. ymmv
    MVNOs in other parts of the world can already be activated with eSIMs, it will be the same for US MVNOs.

  • Apple has two big CarPlay problems

    People should understand that vendors have every reason to be wary of Apple and how much access they provide to the car systems.

    It would be understandable that they don't want the tail to end up wagging the dog as we move towards more autonomous capabilities. 

    I don't think CarPlay will get very far in the short term against providers who are already offering complete software systems to manufacturers. Those systems are also tying into key EV hardware which they are also offering to vendors (chassis, batteries, power management, charging, 'vision'...). 
    Yes, trusting apple not to eventually put you of business is like the frog trusting the scorpion when crossing the river and not getting stung. 

    Apple are wonderful, but to competitors, they are a virus that will wipe you out as soon as they are powerful enough.

  • You might be ready for side loading on iPhone, but your parents aren't

    I recently had to help my MIL set up something with her iPhone. When I asked her to open the App Store she hunted around between 4 screens of app icons before declaring she doesn’t have an App Store. 

    I showed her how to find it and then how search for the app she needed. 

    Here’s the thing, she thinks she downloaded Words with Friends and Township from Facebook. Why? Because she saw an ad on FB, tapped it and it brought her to the App Store where she downloaded it. She doesn’t realize she left Facebook and went to Apple’s store. 

    As mentioned in the article, I can absolutely see her being urged to install a third-party store, having no idea what she’s in for, and downloading Onavo or worse, and being none the wiser, all from some ad on Facebook. 

    Third-party stores and side-loading will be a boon to shady developers. 

    ETA: My MIL also has a Mac, her first was a Bondi Blue iMac, so she isn’t new to them. I have made it a habit to run Malware Bytes every couple of months for her and it isn’t particularly uncommon for something to be found. She loves to install stupid BS “apps”, like the one that put a rotating carousel on her desktop (“It’s SO CUTE!”) and meanwhile it’s getting flagged as malware. I had to argue with her about removiung some malware program she had installed. She was upset that I wanted to delete it because she had paid for it.

    My guess is that sort of thing will only get worse when/if iOS is opened to third-party stores or side-loading.
    Wow, what a nightmare. People who write malware need harsh punishment.

  • Apple's muted 2023 hardware launches to include Mac Pro with fixed memory

    It's getting a little long in the tooth. 
    How long do teeth get? I wonder what the origin of this saying is. 

    Makes me wonder whether Tim Cook still has his natural teeth, whether he has any titanium implants, or whether he adventures with dentures. 

    Bring on the M3 processor!

  • Chamberlain pulls the plug on its HomeKit smart home bridge

    appleuseryeahappleuseryeah
    Sad to see Chamberlain is now homeless. Or rather HomeKit-less. I guess it doesn’t Matter, either.

    This is the first time I've heard the 2023 launches are mooted to be muted. Doesn't sound like much will be happening at all in 2023 if things are muted. Turn it up to minus 11! 😂🤣
