While I don't support those "only in 'murika" bogus lawsuits, I would note that the data usage governance of iOS sucks big time. Even in low data/low power mode with disabled software and update downloads, "System services" from time to time like to…

sloth77 said: I voted Remain in the UK back in 2016. But as an Apple user, I can't say hand-on-heart that I would do so now, with the shenanigans the EU is pulling with Apple. It is a shame, as some of the EU regulations have been decent - …

If Google is or gets involved, I get the hell out of there. So many products I used in the past have received the kiss of death by Google, it's not funny anymore. I'm happy e.g. Pebble was able to be reanimated but using Google for anything is reall…

Apple going back to 8GB base RAM for a notebook? Unlikely... and if they have to spin a dedicated chip just to do notebooks with it, then the cost advantage is gone... There's a number of reasons why the higher end iPads are using M processors...

Wow, it's hard to express how much I'm not impressed. Those features are really just additions of control knobs for what devices have been capable of doing for 10 years now. Of course, despite the hardware being capable, the software does also not s…

Useless and hopeless... fixing the existing mechanisms to actually work would be a good start. Why I would want to limit regular communication is a mystery to me (maybe someone should revisit the name iPhone) -- that's the main reason why my kids ha…

Sure seems interesting but the question is whether it's just an OCI container runtime using a Linux VM executed by the built-in Hypervisor (like podman and docker use) or this is something much more clever with proper resource management or even tra…

No one needs "artificial inflation" (or "AI") battery management. Adding a few no-brainer options to iOS like letting a phone stay permanently in Low Power Mode, giving a few more controls on how to save power and allow iPhones older than iPhone 15 …

Hiking internal prices (which are already higher than in the US) to make up for the margin losses in the US will put a massive damper on those non-US markets. Of course Apple knows this and will do what is best for them. However I'm really surprised…

If the user is a minor, their account must be linked to a parent or guardian, who would then have to approve each app download -- a feature that Apple already provides.I would love this to be true. Unfortunately kids can install any app if it's free…

The whole Google thing is a complete disgrace for Apple and totally hurting their: "pay the premium for our stuff, we care about your privacy" story and reputation. Stop f*cking around and kill that irresponsible deal already. Apple is really lucky …

AppleInsider said:A typical USB-C Charge Cable, sold by Apple and supplied with some of its products, can operate at up to 60 watts without being a problem. Based on Apple's usage description, it will pretty much cover the processing capabilitie…

dewme said: Very interesting. I’m surprised that Apple’s legal department didn’t deal with this concern earlier. GPL has long been a slippery slope for creating legal issues that can potentially result in your proprietary product code being opened …

Suckers, it's 4,99€/m here in Germany...

A margin drop of 8.5 to 9% isn't sustainable for the investor crowd. That made me laugh really hard. For one Apple has ridiculous gross margins, more than pretty much any other company in the world, a reduction may not be great but "not sustainable"…

The killer feature of this update: Updates from the App Store are finally as quick as they should be. Almost too quick, the update buttons (and changes) shift quite a bit when installing a ton of app updates.

This is confusing as hell. Here in Germany Apple already requires the birthdate to register accounts and it requires the credit card (in order to cash in on wrong settings not for security reasons!). Kids under 16 cannot use Apple wallet, not even f…
