    And soon the wired EarPods will be gone too.

    No they have USB-C versions that they will gladly sell for 19.00.

    I wouldn't buy a computer from Visa... and no-one should have tried an Apple credit card. I knew better...

    I use my Apple card for my iPhone, Apple services and some other streaming and misc services monthly. I have purchased 4 iPhones and have used the card this way for years now.

    I view the app when the payment is due I move the payment from my checking via my debit card to Apple cash and then I pay the Apple card balance in full.

    With this and the rate increase it is time to cancel Disney+.

    If you're stealing it now, what is there to cancel?

    Maybe he is the account holder that shares with a child that splits time between households, or is college age.  My lady splits time between our house and her elderly parents home because she takes care of them and the house.  I should pay for multiple subscriptions for a not so great service because they THINK we will scramble to sign up for individual services similar to what Netflix claims? 

    I never understood this from Netflix or anyone else.. If I a pay for 4 streams max on Disney+ I should be able to use them wherever and however I want, since you can't stream anymore than 4 at a time. If I give the credentials out 100 times shouldn't matter as long as I cannot use more streams than I pay for. Same with Netflix.. I pay for 2 streams shouldn't matter how many times I give it out only 2 streams can be used at once.

    I don't want to split hairs over what it is or isn't I am just saying I should be able to use what I pay for how I see fit. Just my 2c

  • Microsoft China bans Android, demands staff use iPhones

    jcs2305jcs2305
    The reason for the switch seems pretty simple...

    Android owners on the China mainland have instead had to use app platforms run by Huawei or Xiaomi. Microsoft has now blocked access to those sites.

    As Apple's iOS App Store is available in China, the intention is that all staff switching to iPhones will be able to use the Microsoft Authenticator password manager, plus its Identity Pass app.

  • Apple Notes in iOS 18 looks to up the ante with Microsoft OneNote

    I really hope they separate the scanning capability from Notes.
    It really should be part of Camera. Open camera app, select scan, take pic (scan). Ask me what to do with it (like a screenshot does). Message, email, save to Photos or Files, save as Note etc. 
    I often need to send PDF scans of documents. I never need to save them as a note.
    Using this feature as a part of Notes adds a lot of unnecessary steps and time to the process, including deleting the unnecessary note I just created.
    There's an app for that!

    https://apps.apple.com/us/app/simple-scan-quick-scanner/id6477965455

    There is already scanning capability in the notes app, why buy another scanning app to do what can already be done within IOS?  It's a bit clunky but is still functional.
