gatorguy said: An app from Apple's AppStore will be just as secure and malware-free as it is now whether 3rd party stores/sideloading is permitted or not. It changes nothing for an iPhone owner who uses only the first-party store. No one is…

Some items to note. - The Pixel screens have 500/800 nits brightness (normal/peak) while the iPhone 13 has 800/1200 and the iPhone 13 Pro 1000/1200. iPhone screens are substantially brighter. - Pixel uses inferior UFS 3.1 storage vs NVMe storage fo…

Going to be so many angry people tomorrow. “ARM can’t do real work.” “You can’t compare Geekbench between iOS devices and Intel/AMD.” “Just because you make phone processors doesn’t mean you can make desktop class processors.” Last year the M1 alr…

Can’t wait for two reasons. One, I really want a new 16” MBP with Apple Silicon. Two, this will be our first look at just how far Apple has come with their custom processors. How they perform and what they include should give us a glimpse at futur…

RCS doesn’t support encryption (yet). So Google has added their own flavor on top. It doesn’t support encrypted group chats and you have to jump through a bunch of hoops before it’s activated. Sound familiar? Just like a Google always does with “st…

I never read the original books so looking at this without any bias or pre-conceptions. I like what I’ve seen so far and to hell with criticism from purists who aren’t happy with the adaptation. Same as Star Trek or Star Wars “fans” who think their…

Has anyone done the math on this? It’s a massive failure and won’t get used by any developer. The biggest problem is getting consumers to switch payment systems. That’s going to require an incentive, and the only reasonable one they could offer is …

“Failed to patch” doesn’t mean “failed to deal with”. Apple could be mitigating this through the App approval process using automated tools, which still has the added effect of not allowing Apps into user devices with this exploit (outside of jailb…

GG lying/deflecting as usual. Apple can’t be compared to Google for one huge reason - Apple doesn’t license iOS to OEMs. Because of this: - Apple can’t be accused of forcing OEMs to install their Apps over competitors Apps. - Apple can’t prevent O…

My wife and I both ordered the Pro Max. We’re in Canada so took advantage of the 0% financing they recently added. However there was apparently a glitch and financing was for 6 months when it was previously 24 months. Then it suddenly changed back …

This is just a formality. I doubt Apple would fire any employee, especially one who has no compunctions about running to the press, unless they were 100% sure it was done legally. this is just a lay kick at the can for this person to imply Apple d…
