  • Apple backs down on CSAM features, postpones launch

    When the response is "We wish that this had come out a little more clearly for everyone because we feel very positive and strongly about what we're doing, and we can see that it's been widely misunderstood," you see that they just don't get it. 

    It is not how the message was delivered, it was the message itself.

  • HomePod is sold out, but isn't dead yet - Apple's 'end of life' explained

    This article misses the boat a bit because most of us know that Apple will not discontinue support for the HomePod anytime soon.  What is disconcerting is Apple’s decision to cancel it does leave one with the impression that Apple is rudderless with regard to product development and support.  Apple does not appear to have a “product champion” assigned as an owner to each of their products.  That’s bad news when the VP of hardware engineer in clearly has his eye elsewhere.
    Exactly! Apple has a history of not following through on things like this. They start something and then put little to no effort into marketing it or developing it. As a customer, I am losing faith in their commitment to the products as opposed to the services revenue streams. The next cool thing Apple develops, I am going to stop myself from hopping aboard and ask myself "Will Apple give up on this in a few years?"

    That kind of mistrust does not bode well for buying an Apple Car. Why in the hell would I EVER consider buying a car from a company I think my abandon it in 5 years? I wouldn't!

  • Apple One will manage users with multiple Apple IDs, but questions remain

    technotechno


    The problem I run into is regarding the requirement for the same credit card on a Family Share account. I was considering adding my adult daughter and my in-laws to the Family Share, but everyone wants the freedom to manage their own payments for the music, books, and apps they want separately because they don't want me paying for everything (aren't they nice?), and dealing with reimbursement is a bother. Now that the Apple One bundles are coming, I'll have to think a little more about this. 
    I noticed recently when I was doing some tweaking on my wife's computer that I could add a second credit card to her payment options for her Apple ID (using Family sharing). I did not have time to delve farthing into it. Can one set a default card? Does it give you the option to choose which card with each transaction?

    Anyone else have experience with that?

  • Apple researching all-glass iPhone with wraparound touchscreen

    My God! When is Apple going to start innovating again? Wrap around screen? Really? Not only does it suck, it's been done.

  • If you updated your HomePod to 13.2, do not reset it or remove it from the Home app

    Is there a way to tell if the HomePods updated or not?  I haven't looked but I am guessing there is a way to see the HomePods' install version on the iPhone or Mac somewhere?
    On your phone or iPad in the Home app. Click the home button at the top left and then click on Software Updates. It will then show you. You can turn off "Install Updates Automatically" while you are there.
