Apple accidentally unpatches iOS vulnerability, hacker creates new jailbreak

Five Galaxy S22 Ultra features which should be on the iPhone
Using both Pixel and Galaxy devices, I don't want to see any of your wishes except maybe 'free' Airpods and stylus but you know they aren't really free - it's built into the S22 Ultra "$1300" base price. Face ID on the iPhone and even the past PIxel 4XL is far superior to using a fingerprint sensor; not sure why tech pundits push for that and now Apple allows using a mask with Face ID. Edge to edge might look cool but it's often aggravating with accidental touches. As for hole punch vs notch, I find the hole punch more annoying (end up hiding it) and I'll be quite annoyed if the iPhone 14 replaces the notch with the two-hole cut-outs. -

Apple details user privacy, security features built into its CSAM scanning system
To quote Apple in 2019, "What happens on your iPhone, stays on your iPhone." If Cook and company are willing to break that promise, it's safe to assume they won't honor their promise to only scan for CSAM. As much as Apple's biggest defenders try to spin this betrayal as being noble, CSAM is just the proverbial Trojan Horse. In 2021, Apple's new mantra will be, "You must surrender privacy under the guise of protecting children." -

India antitrust regulator launches probe into Apple App Store payments
It's too bad this article doesn't reference the pertinent Appleinsider article on this subject from two weeks ago. Nevertheless, the choice of this news being the top story is interesting considering there's a top story elsewhere of a strike in India at an iPhone plant over a mass food poisoning incident. IMO, these legal jousting stories aren't top billing until a final ruling is made and it alters Apple's business conduct. -
Apple now blocking new installs of sideloaded iOS apps on M1 Macs
1. M1 Mac can run iOS apps by default unless developer explicitly disallows it.
2. Developer explicitly disallows it.
3. Backdoor is found to install app that developer explicitly disallowed.
4. Apple closes backdoor to honor developer's explicit request to not have their iOS app run on M1
5. Internet: Fake rage and nonsensical soapboxing
6. Another workaround is found - go back to step 4.
