Apple again hints at unannounced 'homeOS' in job listing
That kind of implies dedicated hardware for a home hub. The existing hubs, Apple TV, iPad, HomePod, etc. all have the hub capability baked into them. A separate hub is an excellent opportunity to sell more hardware without providing much in the way of extra functionality though.

Apple & EU slammed for dangerous child abuse imagery scanning plans
I hate to be the one to say "I told you so", but I bloody well told you so.AppleInsider said:The EU's plan goes further in that it also looks for organized crime and terrorist activity.
When the capability exists, overreaching governments will exploit it.

AirTag vulnerability turns tracker into Trojan horse, fix incoming
You saw the part where Apple responded five days after the 90 days had expired, did you not?chadbag said:The fact that Apple got back to him and asked for more time and he basically gave them the finger puts this guy in the d*ck category. If Apple was totally ignoring him then maybe his protest disclosure would make sense. But he just put a mark on his forehead that he is a d*ck and not to be worked with.
You saw the part where he asked Apple for a few reasonable details and they told him to sod off, did you not?

Apple shareholders press company to reverse 'anti-competitive repair policies'
🤣MplsP said:
No, you don't get it! It's dangerous to have a 3rd party repair the brakes or transmission on a 3000 pound object with 300 HP traveling at 70 MPH! Just look at all the people who are dying on a daily basis from these shoddy, dangerous 3rd party repairs! And cars are blowing up on a daily basis because someone put a non-OEM battery in them. it's horrible, I tell you!beowulfschmidt said:Everyone complaining about right to repair who owns a car, at least in the US, has benefited from right to repair legislation for decades. -
Compared: 2021 entry-level iPad 9 versus 2020 iPad 8
You saw my "not very surprised" comment, yes?fastasleep said:
You realize that’d involve a completely different case design and corresponding price point, yes? That’s what the Air is for.beowulfschmidt said:I was somewhat disappointed, but not very surprised, that they didn't add support for Apple Pencil 2. That would have probably prompted me to get one of these, instead of the Pro or Air that I've been looking at. Ah well.
