How dual-SIM works with Apple's iPhone XS & XS Max
I travel to China a lot and the reality is, if you want to call, message, and most importantly pay with WeChat in China you need to have a local sim... This either disables my US number/SIM or I have to carry around two phones, which in China status is important, so you best be carrying two of the latest iPhones! So I carry one iphone but have two sims, which is a pain! This would solve my problems... HOWEVER, being that the China version of the iPhone Max will allow 2 sim chips, I'm going to wait to buy that one, so while in EU, I just swap sims. Yes, multiple sims is a pain but it's better to have a local sim than paying $.25/min (or in my case, while in Andorra $1.25/min with no data!). So yes there are many use cases with this. For my "dual" number US situation I own my company and don't want to carry two phones, so I have a virtual number that if it's business it forward to my actual number but caller ID is my company name. So I answer in my company name. I do have to go online to get their caller ID if I need it... which is a pain, this would solve that! For that matter, I would be able to get 4 numbers!racerhomie3 said:Complicated as hell.Who needs this?
Why can’t you just use a secondary dumb phone for abroad?

Deadly Apple Store car crash was an accident, driver claims
I know this is a few days old, but I have a 4-Runner, it's not the same model as the one involved in this is a Limited. You can tell because on the truck below the Logo, next to the R of 4Runner is Up/Down Arrows which are exclusive to the Limited Edition. Anyway, I had my shoe get stuck and had to YANK HARD to get it unstuck, it had to do with the heel of the shoe and gas pedal (accelerator), and while I don't think it's a design flaw (as there is never a "perfect" design), it made me aware of the issue and I was luck I was on an open road.I would have crashed into a column on the right at the minimum, thrown it into neutral (if I had time, when the truck gears down and goes you have maybe a sec or two to react) or turned the key off, but again you have a few seconds to react and most people don't understand that.

Thanks! @AppleInsider givr credit to users with those side bar/in article tips and you gain user contributions!!

China fighting to stop Apple's supply chain exodus to India
Very much the opposite! Do you always cater to your bullies? Apple will use it to negotiate their position and why shouldn’t they?xyzzy-xxx said:
Well, Apple isn't going to India because it's cheaper to produce there as it is in China. Apple is going to India because of sanctions which could increase if China invades Taiwan.blastdoor said:So China doesn’t want India to do to China what China did to the US.
My prediction for the future: If China keeps being aggressive towards Taiwan Apple will only produce devices in China that are targeted to the Chinese market.
