New Apple 'Switch to iPhone' ads promote support & environmental footprint
I got airpods and can't remember the last time I used my headphone port. And I'm old, so I should be the hardest to convince to adopt new tech.applesandbannanas said:I have an iPhone 6. It works perfectly well, but since the removal of the headphone socket, and now the fingerprint recognition. I'm out. About the only iPhone I'll upgrade to would be a 6s. The new Galaxy S9, is looking promising too, even though I hate Android.

Cellebrite advertises its ability to unlock devices running iOS 11, including the iPhone X...
I too have the ability to access devices running iOS11. I can unlock my phone, my wifes, my sons ipad, and my own ipad. I simply place my finger on the home button and VIOLA! It's unlocked. -
Samsung defends Galaxy S9's 'AR Emoji,' says feature doesn't copy iPhone X's Animoji
One of the S9's selling points is that it still has a headphone jack. To me that means they are short of selling points for a new phone.

Sony guns for AirPods' all-wireless market with Siri-enabled Xperia Ear Duo
bigger, looks more uncomfortable, costs more, and since not native Apple I doubt it works as well as airpods do...not seeing any advantage unless you are just anti-Apple in which case you wouldn't have an iPhone to begin with.

Apple confirms use of Google cloud services to store iCloud user data
I was going to say the same (but you said first and better), just because it is on their equipment doesn't mean that Apple wasn't in control of it with their own rules/safeguards in place.GeorgeBMac said:having worked in computer outsourcing for 20 years, I have my doubts about this. Not that the headline is not technically true, but that it is misleading.
There is an enormous difference for a customer between using third party's datacenters and equipment to store and process their data while maintaining their own policies and procedures for the data versus downloading your data to a third party for them to manage and control.
While, quite obviously this means that Apple data was on Google equipment, this does not (automatically) mean that it wasn't under the control of Apple with their own policies and procedures in place to protect it.
I will reserve judgement on this until we know more. But, for the time being, I give the benefit of the doubt to Apple.
