Apple turns off data protection in the UK rather than comply with backdoor mandate
Quantum computers will eventually break all encryption anyway. It’s just a matter of time. But screw the UK government for hastening the process.

Apple ends its Qualcomm dependency with the new C1 modem chip
I seem to remember people saying Apple could never build a modem, or if they did it would be inferior. Well, they built one, and now time will tell if it holds up to Qualcomm modems.

Apple cut too much by removing MagSafe from the iPhone 16e
Thanks for the info. I have a 13 so the extra wattage wouldn’t have helped me anyway. Good to know for the future though.SuntanIronMan said:
MagSafe gets you up to 25w (up to 25w with the iPhone 16 models, up to 15w with the iPhone 12-15 models). Qi2 will get you up to 15w. The iPhone 16e gets up to 7.5w. The difference between 25w and 7.5w is quite significant. The difference between 15w and 7.5w is also significant.hexclock said:I just bought a Belkin QI2 charger and it is very fast. How much faster do you get with MagSafe. Seems to be a non issue to me.

Apple Maps paid search ads under consideration in monetization push

Why are you searching at that moment or even close to that moment?hexclock said:So I’m about to execute a tricky lane change in some unknown (to me) city when an ad pops up and covers the directions? Please no.
they should add the ability for iCloud subscribers to add their own custom weighting as an upsell to get more subscribers. Instead of avoid blanket tolls highways add fine grain avoid this toll or poor highway. Favour local coffee shops over chains. Favour particular service stations and find me the best price on the way.
