  • Customers' 'Dear Tim' emails have big impact within Apple

    chasm said:
    I've noticed over the years that I've (very occasionally) written to Steve and Tim that if your letter is respectful and to the point, there's a good chance you'll get a reply ... even if you're offering [constructive] criticism rather than simply praise. As the article notes, a letter passes over several eyes before it actually gets passed on to Tim or a person in a position to do something about whatever you're writing about, so consider your words, tone, and point carefully if you actually want to be paid attention to. Be polite, be concise, be firm, be persuasive. It works.
    Agreed. Only wrote an email to Tim one time. Appel Maps suggestions I had submitted were being ignored/delayed/forgotten (who knows which). The next day I got an email from the Maps team and after that every submission was dealt with in a matter of days. I think I sent in over 100 corrections, updates etc. that Summer. ‘Well done!’ to whoever responded so promptly. Places of interest in Apple Maps in my hometown improved significantly over those few months!

    I believe the Apple Watch & Apples similar health initiatives will help America & the whole world in general. Thats why I utterly hate that countries like India, Brazil, Pakistan, Bangladesh,Argentina & european countries put up tariffs as high as 50% on Apple products.
    Tariffs on Apple products by European countries? Then why is it cheaper for me to buy them in my European country than in the US if I declare them as a business expense and get the VAT back. Many people don’t understand  that in Europe, the sales tax is included in the price and can be as much as 24%.  
    True. It’s 23% here in Ireland. We don’t even think about it, to be honest. It’s just ‘baked’ into the price.

  • Group FaceTime bug fix arriving in iOS update week of Feb. 4

    I hope the typos in the quoted statement (“server’s” and “reproduce the but”) are from AppleInsider’s end and not the original Apple statement.

    That aside, it’s good to know the fix is coming soon.

  • New phishing scam masquerades as Apple support call

    I get spoof emails from fraudsters posing as Ebay or PayPal. The have a dedicated spoof email address you can report these idiots to ([email protected] , [email protected]). Does a similar address exist for Apple. That would be helpful. Perhaps we can crowdsource these guys into oblivion.
    This article https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204759 gives this address for reporting: [email protected]
