An Apple Watch sales ban may be coming -- Everything you need to know
eriamjh said:Apple Watches won’t be banned. Worst case, Apple issues an update disabling the pulse oximeter.
They'd better not. Unless they're going to refund me the cost of my watch. Disabling it on watches brought in after the ban might be acceptable, but mine was purchased before the ban.

Unity 6 announced with AI tools, plus Apple & Meta partnerships
After the fiasco this past year, will anyone ever trust them again? I know that I deleted it off of my dev environment. I recognize that I was lucky to be in a position to do so, but I wonder how many others were.

D.C. police suggest using AirTags to thwart thefts of $1000 jackets
inkling said:You'd think college students whose parents could afford to buy them a $1000 jacket would have the sense to AirTag their valuables without being told. Then again, maybe not. I've never noticed any correlation between parental wealth and the intelligence of their offspring.
Better advice would be: "If you don't want to be robbed, don't dress rich."
Nothing like a little victim blaming to go with my coffee in the morning...

UK has a rash of iPhone 15 Pro Max orders swapped for fakes during shipment
Xed said:Is this the next thing we need to worry about with a new iPhone? If it is the courier then any Apple Store could also get saddled with fake devices without knowing it.While true, every iPhone I've ever purchased at an Apple Store was opened and set up by the tech while I watched. Seems less likely for a fake to pass muster in that case.Stories like this make me glad there's an Apple Store near where I live. I would be absolutely incensed if Chris-J-88's experience happened to me.
