He's right to a certain degree. Users are stupid, and will blame everyone and anyone else before pointing the finger at themselves. It's going to happen. Someone is going to side-load a seemingly innocent app, only for that app to hijack their dat…

Xed said: That's not entirely true. Huawei and Samsung can do it... after they get ahold of Apple's designs and tech specs. If there's one certainty in life is that iKnockoff companies like Samsung, Xiaomi, and Huawei bought the VisionPro …

What I think will happen is that hardly any users will do any business outside of Apple's own App Store due to better safety, smacking pie in the face of the EU. The result will be the EU demanding that Apple open up the App Store to 3rd-party apps…

As a developer myself, the 30% fee is chump change when you consider what us developers had to do prior to the App Store, and prior to the modern smartphone. We had to advertise our software, handle payments, and provide packaged software products,…

Many years ago when the iPhone was really increasing their market share, I remember a huge media announcement that the iPhone was hacked, compromised, with data being stolen. It was everywhere. They all said that iPhone security was not all it was…

Didn't another company many years ago got sued by Blackberry for using a keyboard that looked exactly like this?

I understand why police don't recommend people go after thieves that steal their belongings. I do. At the same time, it gets really old to hear. In this particular situation, either police should step up their surveillance of people that loiter …

Proof that these clowns learn nothing from history. I remember when PalmPilot tried to pull a similar stunt by pretending to be an iPod in order to connnect/sync to iTunes. So where's PalmPilot now? Exactly. Is Beeper's CEO originally from PalmPil…

I wonder if this is just an encapsulated feature of screen time. I already have all this activated in the event my phone gets stolen. There is no way a thief will get access to my phone and change credentials. It does take a few steps to set it u…

Why would any company think it's okay to hijack proprietary technology from another company, let alone Apple? I get why people want to do this, but if they think it's going to be a viable business model, think again. I would never want to hire this…

Some company (or person) went through a huge amount of expense (and risk) to develop this knockoff. What market does this serve to warrant such resources? I wonder if it's for the asian market for those that don't want to pay iPhone prices, but w…

I always try to buy my Apple products either in an Apple store, or have it delivered to an Apple Store so when picked-up, I can open the package in the presence of an Apple rep to make sure this exact situation does not occur to me. I picked-up my n…

There was a video that saw a while back discussing the strange place the new Mac Pro resides. The PCIe slot argument was moot. The devices that those “pros” used to have a need for PCI slots have been replaced with external thunderbolt interfaces.…

The way I'm reading it is that there is no 27" iMac in the pipeline because they're busy working on a 32-35" iMac!

Locating a stolen vehicle via AirTags is only part of the solution. Actually arresting, convicting, and getting the thief locked-away is what needs to happen and to send a message to future would-be thieves.

9secondkox2 said: I’m sure them not charging apple for defective 3nm silicon has plenty to do with it. Add to that the industry-wide slowdown and boom… less money. It will pick up. My understanding was that "rumor" turned out to be fals…

*China just entered the chat. I'm just waiting for the first news of hackers exploiting this.

ihatescreennames said: Nah, you’re just misunderstanding comments and then trying to blow them up into something else. The same tactic you used quite a bit when you posted as JP234, before that handle got banned and erased, so no surprise you’r…

I'd bet money that this "class action" lawsuit was only initiated by scummy ambulance-chasing lawyers fishing for people so they can roll the dice for an Apple payday. If someone is stalking you, GO AFTER THE STALKER! Don't put blame on companies…

AppleInsider said: Now according to a Bernstein financial report first spotted by The Register, Google is actually paying Apple significantly more. "We estimate that the ISA [Information Services Agreement] is worth $18B-20B in annual paymen…
