"There's no risk of damage to an iPhone by using a slower charger" Indeed, it's actually easier on the battery than charging faster. That, plus Eriamjh's tips above will definitely keep your battery running for a LONG time. I'm glad to see the abi…

I'm sticking with 1Password, but for reasons that the average user won't take into consideration. First, I've dealt with iCloud sync enough over the years, there's NO WAY I'd trust it to safely handle passwords. I know it's better now than it used…

Of course people (even non-techie people) remember the "I'm a Mac" ads... or they wouldn't have been so "effective". You do have to be a certain age, though, since it was so long ago, which maybe affects the appeal of the ad to different demographi…

CheeseFreeze said: Are AirTags still really that effective? I tested bringing someone else’s AirTag and in a matter of minutes I received a warning that an AirTag was traveling with me. And I could disable the tag on my own iPhone.Which is gr…

In other words, when a photo is deleted in the library, it is truly deleted in the OS. However, because of how NAND storage works, the memory used to store the photo is marked as available rather than immediately deleted. That has nothing to d…

I'm also hard pressed to come up with functional improvements for the AirTag, other than new form factors. The battery life is a year (more, in my experience) and is fine. I can see where a wallet version would be useful, but my wallet is RFID-blo…

gatorguy said: I agree, the reactions are a bit over-the-top. At the same time, it's a horrible, bordering on disconcerting and unpleasant, iPad promotional ad IMHO. I believe Apple will be pulling it from their official ad campaign in sho…

On many vehicles, there is a button on the steering wheel with an icon of a figure speaking. When you have an iPhone plugged into a USB port in the car, pressing that button will also bring up Siri, and you can speak your command without h…

"Pennsylvania has two battling bills that could make tracking with AirTags unlawful" No, it has bills that make *stalking* with AirTags unlawful. South Korea has laws that make tracking with AirTags illegal. (Which is why they're disabled there.) …

I'm not clear what this article is intended to be about. Every mention is about deleting messages "from iCloud", but then it talks exclusively about how much space you save on the device and doesn't even mention not syncing messages to iCloud in th…

I'd much rather have a cross-platform HDMI port.
