  • Apple removes iCloud Activation Lock status tool from website

    Guess many of you haven't seen this video:

    Con artists in China were using this to get around activation lock likely in an attempt to re-sell stolen goods.

    More than likely Apple got wind of it and had no choice to shut it down immediately.

    The majority and law-abiding citizen suffers yet again. Thanks China!

    Point being,  phone size shouldn't be the determining factor of which products get better stuff unless of course its a physical constraint making it impossible.
    You just answered your own complaint in that last statement, and if her next phone is going to be Android just because of size, I feel sorry she's willing to make such a MASSIVE sacrifice, a very foolish one.

    And BTW, the iPhone SE isn't "so old specked", that's a complete pile of horse shit. It's got the guts of a iPhone 6S, which STILL murders almost every Android clunker on the market.

    This seems to indicate that Apple is doing something right yet an earlier article bemoans the fact that Siri lost out heavily to Alexa.

    Perhaps the real fact is that for most Apple users something like Siri/Cortana/Alexa/Hey Google is just not that important in the grand scheme of things.

    I and my Twitter followers have decided to call out fake news about Apple. There is a lot of fake news!

    When an analyst published a story about Amazon possibly become the first trillion dollar company last week, I showed that to reach $1 trillion Amazon would have an additional Apple's evaluation to close to the $1 trillion mark.

    This week Fortune published an article about an analyst claiming Microsoft could become the first $1 trillion company. I immediately contacted the Fortune author and informed her of last week's article. Now waiting for a Fortune update that questions what analysts are reporting.

    Another analyst (IDC) claimed Alexa, Echo were the leaders. The author was immediately called out as being wrong.

    A lot of people are producing fake news and need to be called out for doing so.
    While I didn't see the article about Amazon, I did see the one about Microsoft this morning, and I let off a really loud and hearty LOL! And they attributed this to their acquisition of LinkedIn of all things, even more entertaining!

    Fake news is RAMPANT right now, probably just to be fodder for the multitude of trolls online. The scary thing though, is I'm now seeing more and more people in the real world buying this crap blindly, without questioning it in the slightest, even though it wreaks of fraud.

    I commend you for taking this action and calling out the fraud!
