  • Fake LastPass password manager app unearthed on Apple's App Store

    chasmchasm
    Assuming LastPass followed normal developer procedure and reported it to Apple first, I am pretty shocked and disappointed that Apple didn’t suspend the app immediately after hearing from the company, and that LastPass had time to issue a press release, and says it is “actively working” to get the fake app taken down.

    It sure looks from here like the App Store review team has dropped the ball on this one, and I hope that by the time I finish typing this comment they will have taken down the imposter app. If not, they are giving a green light to others to try putting imposter apps in the App Store.

    Enjoyed the first few episodes but toward the end it got pretty woke and the hero pretty lame. He went from being Reacher to being in touch with his feminine side. Perfect for the new Hollywood and Apple unfortunately. 
    I think your perception of what’s wrong with the show stems from your own obvious problems, not the show’s.

  • Apple sells up to 180,000 Apple Vision Pro, says Kuo

    chasmchasm
    I am surprised to learn that the commenters here do not understand context very well. Specifically, when Mr Kuo said Apple had an active user base of 1.2 billion, he was not referring to just the US, but to the worldwide base, DURRRRR.

    I understand he’s talking about a product that is, at present, only available in the US, but that is VERY likely to change over the next few months, so thinking ahead (AS HE WAS) and looking at the potential customer base, the initial strong reception bodes well for expanding availability as production ramps up, even if sales have now settled down in the US to what I expect will be normal niche levels for another year or so.

    Apple **clearly** believes the other big players will be coming out with similar headsets over the next two years, and that such a product will move into a certain segment of “mainstream” popularity. I believe they’re right — Meta is already busy on the next Oculus, and you can bet Google won’t miss out on the opportunity to show GIANT DATA COLLECTING ADS, :smiley: , so I think you can count on at least three if not four (Microsoft) major new headsets available in the next year or so.

  • How to tell if the Apple Watch you're about to buy has pulse oximetry

    Good question. The article only states “no longer available on Apple Watch units sold by Apple in the United States”. But that doesn’t automatically mean it’s available elsewhere.
    Yes it does. That’s exactly why the qualifier of “sold by Apple in the United States” is in there.

    Other countries not called the United States of America are completely unaffected by any of this. I hope that clears things up for you.

    Is Apple required to, or planning to, disable pulse oximetry on older model 9’s through iOS updates?  I’m on 10.2, but can I safely accept new updates without killing this feature?  I would expect that the release notes would mention it, but who knows!
    No, Apple does not have to, and will not, disable pulse oximetry on ANY previous Series 9 or older Apple Watches. If your Watch has pulse oximetry now, it will continue to have it in the future.
