Apple has started preorders for the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro
I started the order process as soon as the store came online and couldn’t ever finish my pre-order.Tried multiple times, had processing issues repeatedly, finally gave up as my delivery time slipped from September into October.Good news for Apple - apparently the demand is so high even the credit card processing system crashed.

Apple's head of privacy doubles down on anti-sideloading stance
So this whole debate is over choice. The argument is that people who want to load software from anywhere should have the choice.What about my choice? I choose iOS because it protects my financial transactions and privacy as much as possible.If I didn't care about that I'd use Android.As expertly explained above, once side loading is allowed security is gone.Why is my ability to choose a high-security ecosystem less important that someone else's choice to load unregulated apps?Their choice eliminates my ability to choose.I argue giving the marketplace the choice of a high-security system is simply crucial and outweighs the minor inconvenience of not being able to load any unregulated software from any dark corner of the hacker-sphere.
If you want to side load, you have plenty of non-Apple options.Let me be secure online!

Apple cuts AirPods production by over a quarter
My original versions are both still going strong. How many years of use is that? I don’t even know.Temporary? You’re flat out wrong.
