Apple retailer Simply Mac is shutting down
bcs said:I left an IPad Air 4 at Simply Mac on May 21. Because it took no charge the associate recommended replacement. Now, on June 28 I am still without an IPad. MANY phone calls on my part resulted in my learning that I was not the only one this happened to, and that it was unknown when this would be resolved. It seems to me that Apple would have a responsibility to take care of customers immediately and then solve their problem with Simply Mac.
What problem does Apple have with Simply Mac? If I were you I would get my device back and either get it too an Apple store, or mail it in for service after speaking with Apple and making them aware of the situation. If it's still under he original applecare warranty or you have applecare+ you should have no worries. Simply Mac is liquidating and hasn't paid employees properly... I wouldn't ask them to do anything else except return your device immediately so it can be replaced and you can move on with your life.

Apple's iPhone 15 will be first with USB-C, claims Kuo
ravnorodom said:For USB-C Magic Mouse, please have the charging port on the side and frontal. Currently I have 2 Magic Mouses because of the dumb charging port on the bottom. I wonder if that's Jony Ive's decision.I never got the uproar over this? Plug it in for 2 minutes and go get some coffee or a drink of water stretch your legs
A full charge takes as little as two hours, while a quick two minutes of charging is enough to give you nine hours of use before the mouse needs a refill.

Apple's Director of Machine Learning exits over return-to-office policy
kidrock2199 said:Get over yourself, dude. We’ve all been working in the office at least 5 days a week for 200 years. Now all of a sudden, 3 days in/2 out you can’t handle? Loser. I’d fire his ass and find someone who actually wanted to work. This is a huge problem with America today. Lazy ass people want to get paid to sit at home.How is working 40 hrs from home lazy but working from an office doing the exact same job for 40 hrs not? Seems you have an issue with people working from home and may need to get over yourself because of that issue? Sheesh... These aren't warehouse employees or dishwashers where you just toss them and grab someone that "Wants to work" as you put it.I have been working from home 45-50hrs a week since March 2020. My team and I have hit our #'s every month without a hitch since we have been fully WFH. I am also not a kid who expects to be paid for sitting at home and not working... Which seems to be the idea that you have with people who are wanting to continue to WFH. I would imagine a large # of folks wanting to stay home fall in the same category as me and aren't looking to be lazy and do less work by staying home.

Family alleges AirTag was used to stalk mother and daughter on Disney World trip

Thats not quite like this though is it? If someone remains in close proximity to you, for example a friend takes a long road trio with you and has a tracker, you would not get that alert unless that person didn't also have his iPhone with him.command_f said:
I think you're probably right. There are guides to the "optimum" route to take around Disney: two parties that read the same website could well stay in close proximity for a sequence of rides.twlatl said:This happened to me on our last trip to Disneyworld. No one was stalking us. When you are on a ride, or in a line for a while with someone who has an Apple device - air tag, AirPods, etc - the tracking notification can get confused thinking that device is trying to track you when it’s just a device on someone close by.Actually changing phones can cause this same alert to come up as well. There is a tedious process that must be done to totally reset the Airtag in order to sync it with a new phone regardless of the Apple ID.We swapped out her 12 Pro Max at the Apple store recently because when we took it get checked out for intermittently losing cellular connection it got stuck in diagnostics and the a boot loop where the Apple log just showed up over and over. We restored her phone from the recent back up in the Apple store and were on our way. After we left the store and went back home she started getting the notification that there was an Airtag in close proximity that didn't belong to her. Then it hit my phone as well.We also realized after while of being home that her airtag would beep every few minutes ( took me forever to realize what was making the sound as it isn't the same as the ping notification sound and at a lower volume). I wonder if others here this little chirp as well and don't know what it is while they think they are being stalked.I grabbed her phone and her airtag showed up in "find my" on her phone so I though it was ok. When I tried to ping her Airtag it gave me a message saying that it was unable to locate the Airtag? I had it in my hand and still unable to locate. After a bit of reading I found the reset process online and got the airtag reset, and paired to her new phone and the messages stopped.

iPhone 14 could sport upgraded front cameras for selfies, FaceTime calls
Is there a non lossy bluetooth standard currently? I know Qualcomm is working on a couple of chips but they aren't release yet.charlesn said:As has been happening in recent years, it seems that the 14 will again be mainly about the camera upgrades--which I personally love as a prosumer photographer, but I have to think I'm in an increasingly small minority of buyers for whom any of these improvements matter. With all of Apple's emphasis on music, when was the last time you heard Apple talk about audio quality on the iPhone? Apple Music is now filled with lossless tracks and Apple Digital Masters, but we're still stuck with lossy AAC as the only option for Bluetooth playback. HELLO, TIM!
Personally, I'd be happy to see a Pro model iPhone offered in a color that wasn't the equivalent of a boring gray flannel suit.
