  • Apple spent $7.4M on lobbying efforts in 2019, well below outlays from Amazon and Facebook...

    This lobby business in USA is crazy. Even terrorists hiding/helping country like Pakistan spends millions on USA lobby to get billions in USA foreign aid money. The way I see is my shareholder money spent on bozos in Washington.
    Unfortunately in most part of the world, lobbying is still necessary for the security of your shareholder money.

  • Apple's Intelligent Tracking Protection can be exploited to track Safari users, says Googl...

    Yeah, well it's working and improving. Apple is still regarded as gold standard when it comes to security and privacy.

  • Leak suggests Apple may replace Midnight Green with Navy Blue in iPhone 12

    The color-phobic Jonny Ives is gone, and midnight green was hugely popular last year. So, I expect Apple will be more open to new colors now. But bright colors might be too radical a change. If Apple sticks with dark colors, navy blue is a logical choice. 
    I think Apple will stick with dark color for Pro (11 Pro, 11 max Pro) and brighter color for Non Pro (11). That way it will differentiate enough between Pro and Non Pro, color and material.

    Here are some options for Pro: blue navy, dark purple, orange copper, and probably it's time to remove gold. I think Apple will always keep the standard Space Grey and Silver.

  • UN urges US investigation into Bezos iPhone hacking

    I’d like to know more about how the MP4’s payload was able to execute the attack — retrieving useful content from his iPhone and transmitting it. 
    Rather than containing malware in the video file, it is believed the attack was performed via an encrypted downloader, one that was possibly embedded in the video, which then downloaded a payload to perform the attack itself.

    I am curious about this encrypted downloader. And how it can piggyback on the MP4 which only acts as Trojan Horse.

    Apple is helping criminals.  Why?
    The same can be said about the US Constitution. Criminals also has protection under the US Constitution, that prevents the government from abusing its powers. It's the price paid, to ensure that everyone is protected from a government that is capable of abusing its powers.

    With Apple, the only way they can help protect the private data of all their iPhone (and iPad) customers, is to not create a backdoor that the government can use to get into criminals locked iPhones. After all, if we never have to worry about the government abusing its powers, we would not need the US Constitution.
    This is about having a warrant.  Nothing more 
    OK, so it you were shown a warrant to turn yourself inside out you'd try to comply or would you say that it's impossible, just as Apple said that they don't possess a universal key to unlock an encrypted iPhone.

    As sflocal said, you're trolling.
    If the law said I needed to comply by turning myself inside out I’d have to.  Otherwise i’d Suffer the consequences.  Apple has the tools and laws are laws.  
    While we appreciate your conviction, you are starting to scare us.
