  • 'Wordle' clones further illustrate the curation problem in the App Store

    applesinciderapplesincider
    No guidelines have been broken. 

    The App Store guidelines apply to apps in the App Store. 

    There is no provision against native apps in the App Store copying web apps not in the App Store. 

    @mikepeterson    , you are confused.

  • Unreal Engine releases an app that uses Face ID to capture 3D facial animations

    applesinciderapplesincider
    I, too, found the obvious misuse of the term “Face ID” very distracting. 

    As mentioned in the first comment, Face ID is an authentication mechanism, and the app and article simply have nothing to do with authentication. 

    Unreal Engine releases an app that uses Face ID to capture 3D facial animations

    No — that’s factually incorrect, not just technically speaking, but in product, feature, and branding terms as well. 

    If you’re that worried about it, a good editor would say it’s unnecessary, anyway. 

    Unreal Engine releases app that captures facial animations

    Done. That would be good. 

    Then later:

    … with Face ID able to animate 3D characters in real time…

    Again, just factually incorrect. Face ID is not involved here. Face ID and ARKit both use the TrueDepth camera, that’s the point of intersection. 

    If you’re that worried about saying “TrueDepth”, then “front-facing camera” or simply “camera” would be less specific but at least still 100% accurate.

    And again later:
    The company[…] boasted the usefulness of Face ID's TrueDepth Camera…

    Again, no. You haven’t disambiguated anything, you’ve added more confusion to the mix. It isn’t “Face ID’s TrueDepth Camera”. 

    It’s the iPhone’s/iPad’s TrueDepth Camera, which Face ID employs alongside other technologies for one use case of the camera’s technology. There are other use cases, like ARKit and the face tracking of this very app. It would be a great opportunity to educate your readership by explaining that. 

    Instead, it’s like you were determined to get it exactly wrong in each instance. 

    Now we know you know better, so now we know you can do better. Please?

  • How to take screen recordings on Mac, iOS and Apple TV

    applesinciderapplesincider
    Then with certain third-party tools, you can do that same recording but zoom in on areas, edit the video, highlight some areas and blur others.

     Like, how? Which third-party tools?

     The article doesn’t mention any of this again, and only half of those features are discussed in the linked article on ScreenFlow 8.

  • Apple TV Remote launches on iOS, remains separate from iTunes Remote app

    Volume control will also work over HDMI-CEC, so it doesn't make sense why they couldn't include it in the app when in that mode.
