Looks like Apple is trying to play catch-up with battery phone sizes. I’ve heard some criticism that Apple’s batteries aren’t lasting as long as Apple claims. Historically Apple’s batteries have been undersized vs the competition, but they made up for it with OS optimization.

Why go through the trouble of listing all these phones in comparison, and not include the phone that was mentioned to be getting the larger battery?

On the more specific side, the battery in the "Max" version is claimed to offer a capacity of 3,969mAh, a considerable jump up from the 3,174mAh used in the iPhone XS Max.

And by the way, for the first time I find the back of an iPhone to be truly ugly.

I have to agree.. I have been waiting on the camera set up to grow on me.. It has slightly..but uugghh not much. Waiting to see what the real finished product looks like and feels like in my hand before I make a final decision.

I can see why pro is used for a computer or maybe an iPad – but what exactly is a ‘Pro iPhone’ user?

It’s not the user that’s a pro, it’s the iPhone. It’s really just a model designation. Apple reserves “Pro” for the higher spec’ed models in the lineup.

Exactly ^ .. I think this is true across the product lines except for the iMac Pro and Mac Pro. These machines are truly pro spec and priced IMHO.

Apple sued for storing iCloud data on third-party servers

The lawsuit is 100% appropriate.

Apple has given the public the impression they store data in their own datacenters, and as Apple provides these services around the planet and customers in different countries should be informed where their data actually is stored so they can make informed decisions if they want to use the service or not. It probably also has lead customers to believe they got an increased level of privacy (as spouted by Apple marketing), when in reality they got closer to Amazon Web Services, Google and Microsoft base level. If I knew my iCloud data was stored on Google servers, I would have ended the iCloud subscription immediately.

But of course for ex-Compaq Tim Cook, he don't see the difference.

I think you are confusing your interpretation of what Apple said. They never said they owned the servers that house iCloud data, plus they don’t go into detail with the public on what data is stored on those specific servers. Plus the fact that they use encryption which so far no one has been able to defeat makes it hard to present a case in which the plaintiffs or you were harmed.

I am not confusing anything. Apple has made multiple announcements of how they are building large data centers for iCloud and other services, and have even given tours of them for journalists.

It has been generally assumed that Apple mainly have been hosting iCloud on Microsoft Azure architecture, but the servers running it were fully deployed to Apple owned facilities and locations.

Data hosted in other cloud services will necessarily also end up in their backup systems where they never should have been. They can possibly also be decrypted there because Apple can decrypt iCloud hosted data and have done so in multiple cases for law enforcement. When the data end up in a third party backup system it can also be restored to a different location and potentially be compromised.

This is also about Apple's integrity and trustworthiness. They pretend to have a holier-than-thou stance on privacy, yet completely fail to inform the customers that their data might migrate outside Apple facilities. NOT good!

How can you say something is generally assumed and then think it to be worth a lawsuit when you are incorrect? Who cares if there were large announcements detailing Apple building data centers? Are you saying this also not true? You are making it seem as though they offered iCloud services and made announcements of the data centers they were building and then used 3rd party servers to deceive people?

I also assumed as you did that they owned the servers where iCloud data is stored. I am not really shocked to learn that they had to use some outside services to do to the sheer number of users. I personally am not worried that my encrypted data will somehow become unencrypted and get out to the public. I trust Apple's security and encryption.

iCloud secures your information by encrypting it when it's in transit, storing it in iCloud in an encrypted format, and using secure tokens for authentication. For certain sensitive information, Apple uses end-to-end encryption. ... No one else, not even Apple, can access end-to-end encrypted information.Jul 3, 2019
