Hack upgrades Mac Studio internal SSD for less than half of Apple's prices
Is M5 a typo? All the other reports I’ve seen have said M4.

Apple's 'Crush' iPad Pro ad sparks intense backlash from creatives
I’m not sure what all the fuss is about. I anticipated the iPad would emerge after the crush. I took it as Apple’s suggestion that much of the work achieved using those tools could be done on the iPad. It’s a promotion of the device’s capabilities, nothing more. Not unreasonable to expect this kind of ad.

House Judiciary advances all bills in sweeping antitrust legislative package
Soon they’ll be telling Apple they can’t sell their products in their own retail stores. One of the most asinine things to come out of Congress.

Why is the an article? I’m assuming the author is aware that this is a beta. Use the Feedback assistant. You come across as desperate for clicks here which might make some of us bypass you altogether. Please try and remain professional. You know better.

Big finance sweating Apple Pay intrusion, consolidating payment services
I actually edited the post to say that Apple doesn’t collect data on what is purchased. What I mean by that is they don’t know what you are buying. Of course they track things like amounts, etc.Soli said:
What, as in specific items, or no idea about amounts, number of cards used, or even when Apple Pay is used? I assume they don't know what, but probably know how often Apple Pay is used and may even get data on total amounts going through the financial institutions, if not directly, and would be very surprised if they don't know what's going with Apple Pay Cash as a service.muadibe said:
If I remember correctly, Tim Cook said Apple has no idea what is purchased in ApplePay transactions.Soli said:
Apple makes money directly from purchases. They get a small portion of the service fee.seanismorris said:What’s interesting is there is a movement to stop taking certain credit cards (Visa) because of high fees at retailers.
Visa is also raising rates...
They better watch out or they’re going to lose out to Apple Pay.
What’s not clear is how Apple Pay makes Apple money…
I assume they also collect data on purchases to better figure out how to target customers (internal only, of course, not to use like FB and Google for sale).
edit: 0.15%.
edit: They're certainly getting some data, even if specific card data isn't being funnel to them.
