Apple's C1 modem is a quiet game-changer that's mostly flying under the radar
I just got a 16e a few weeks ago and went on my first road trip. The reception was awful in rural areas. My wife’s iPhone 11 had 4 bars of LTE and all I had was Satellite SOS. We are on the same carrier. This was spread over multiple days of driving so it wasn’t just one area. She would give me a wry smile as she offered to hot spot me…TigerWilliams said:Are there any real world tests of how well Apples C1 modem does in establishing and maintaining a connection in areas with spotty coverage, vs a Qualcomm modem ?Really disappointing. I would even sacrifice some battery life if I needed to. Or boost the signal if I’m plugged into power.

US fights Canada over new tech tax that could cost Apple billions
If Apple wants to assert its right to a piece of third party transactions in Europe because it owns the platform, then countries can claim their right to a piece of their citizens transactions.It cuts both ways.

Philips Hue adds security cameras and announces Matter support
Greedy buggers. They will lose out on a ton of hardware sales because of the subscription model. But I guess they’ve done the calculus, and 5 years at $3.99/mo is worth a ~40% reduction in sales.

CORE Apple Store union negotiations hit a wall of Apple's design
Apple said No to their demand for a combined 45 days per year of bereavement taken as they choose. And broaden the scope from immediate family, to include friends and pets. That means an employee can take 9 weeks of paid leave for the loss of a goldfish. EVERY YEAR!

Apple unveils new design for iCloud.com with customizable tiles
Looks pretty but hasn’t improved functionality. In Notes, I still can’t see any of my shared folders or sub-folder on the left navigation bar. I can see my own folders, but as soon as I share one with someone else, it vanishes. The actual shared notes are still there, but only visible under All iCloud. C’mon Apple. How hard can this be to fix?
