  • Apple issues new version of iOS 9.2.1 to fix iPhones bricked by 'Error 53'


    "the update will make disabled iPhones usable again but will not re-enable Touch ID unless the home button is serviced by Apple."

    Touch ID was already disabled the moment the Touch ID sensor was replaced with a non-Touch ID enabled Home Button anyway. Only Apple authorized techs can replace a broken button with a new Touch ID because of the way the sensor interconnects with the secure partition on the A7/8/9 chip, which has been the case since the 5s was released. 
    And by restating that they keep the issue clear.

    ""Customers who paid for an out-of-warranty replacement of their device based on this issue should contact AppleCare about a reimbursement.""

    Good for them.

  • Tim Cook calls FBI backdoor demand 'dangerous,' vows to fight case

    But not now, and that's because most of the news media is run by democrats who are experts at shielding their party from negative PR.
    Very true.

    People are lashing out and bashing Trump, but I have a newsflash for these people! Trump is not the POTUS, not yet at least.

    Obama is currently in charge, and this attack happened under Obama, no doubt helped by Obama's lax immigration rules .....
    The male killer was BORN in the United States, so was the neighbor that helped him get the guns.

  • Tim Cook calls FBI backdoor demand 'dangerous,' vows to fight case

    This is nothing but a back door fishing expedition by the FBI. Apple has already given the FBI iCloud data. On top of the iCloud information, the FBI has the shooters computers, text messages, multiple flash drives, e-mails, etc. Is there really something on the iPhone that the FBI doesn't know already? The FBI is just using this case to gain pubic support for back doors. 
    I expect you're totally correct. Especially given the care the murderers took to totally crush their other two private phones: had this one been anything other than s simple work phone it would have been destroyed as well.

    Move the seat of Apple to Europe (almost any country might do). Less taxes, better protection, less pressure.
    Not Great Britain: they're considering doing a mandatory backdoor law at the moment.
