Wrong, Eric. The iPhone SHOULD default to sending JPG photos any and every time a photo leaves the iPhone, with the sole exception being photos destined for iCloud storage/backup. I hate HEIC, it screws up all kinds of stuff. Apple has a decades-lon…

So in other words, before Sept. 1, renew your certificates for as long as you can.

Makes sense. I doubt someone his age is spending 18 hours a day on FaceTweetInstaApp crap. And those older flip phones? The battery will last a week or more. If all you need to do is make a phone call, why do you need a $1,000 pocket computer? Ge…

Revamp of the Newton handwriting technology from the 1990s. It's about time!

In other words, don't back up your device(s) to iCloud. Problem solved. I never have and never will. I back up my phone directly to the computer, via encrypted backups. And my internal disk and both Time Machine disks are encrypted as well. My da…

And yet the whole Downtime thing is still a joke anyway. Why? You cannot prevent a kid from changing the clock on the phone! Downtime kicks in at 8 p.m.? No problem! Change the iPhone's clock back a couple hours. With my teenager, we've resorted …

In my opinion, a big problem is INFORMING THE CUSTOMER!!! It's stupidly simple too. It's very rare I find a place where the POS terminal is labeled somehow for ApplePay or any NFC payment. When a customer is at the point of sale, what's the main thi…

It's worth mentioning that poor service is likely NOT Amtrak's fault. Amtrak is essentially turning the train into a giant hotspot. They use regular cell towers for service and then turn that into the train's network. So if the train runs through an…

I haven't run into either of these, but I never use Siri to set an alarm. I use the iOS "bedtime" feature and it's never been a problem for me. On days when I don't need to get up as early, such as weekends or vacation, I just turn off the bedtime f…

Keep this in mind as well. The Mac IIfx was released in 1990, at $8,970 for the base configuration. Just dollars for dollars, that's more than the base configuration of the new Mac Pro. Figure inflation into the mix though and that $8,970 comes out …

Love my iPhone and Apple Watch. Having said that, I'll eat what I want and then die fat and happy.

So in other words, Apple got screwed? (someone had to say it) And c'mon AppleInsider. Was it not possible to somehow find an image of the screw for context?
-
The answer here is obviously so simple it's amazing AppleInsider hasn't figured it out. All they have to do is make the next Apple Watch 17 percent thinner and 8 percent lighter. That fixes all the problems every time!

I'm very curious if Target will integrate this with their own two RedCard programs. They have a regular branded MasterCard and a separate RedCard which directly debits from your checking account. With either of those payment methods, you get an addi…

If I get a notice about this from DirecTV, I'll go back to them and say "Don't do that until you give my my locals, otherwise I'm dropping you."

Why can't Apple just be honest about it all and say "Yep, we don't give a rat's a$$ about anything server" and ditch the whole thing? They've been stringing their users along for a decade, slowly dropping features with every version. It's sickening.…

I want to repair my dishwasher but Whirlpool refuses to give me a technical manual for it. I suspect this legislation would change that. They told me only authorized service centers can have that information.
