Apple raises iPhone prices outside US and China
The iPhones are actually more expensive in Switzerland than in Germany — once you strip the VAT (7.7% in Switzerland and 19% in Germany).humbug1873 said:Given the new pricing, it looks like a trip to cheapo Switzerland might be worth it then (yeah I live a day trip away). Then again 14 Pro is not giving enough reason to upgrade from my 12 Pro, so no reason to hurry. (No longer willing to buy devices with the old fashioned Lightening port any longer to begin with).Add to that that you actually have to pay VAT and customs duties when you import one into your own country — unless of course you’re intending to smuggle one through customs. But at least here, those factors are instantly doubled if you get caught.

Apple isn't done with 2022 -- here's what's still coming
I'm amazed that people are so blissfully unaware of what happened to the dollar-Euro exchange over the past year and a half.

TikTok monitors everything users type when using in-app browser
For context, Meta (Facebook, Instagram) injects JavaScript to track users (regardless of "Do Not Track" settings) into all pages loaded in the in-app browsers.
It would not surprise me if they're monitoring keystrokes. They certainly monitor every single keypress within their apps otherwise.

Apple is just getting started with Apple Silicon
Apple is doomed.xyzzy-xxx said:Intel just announced support for WiFi 7, Apple is even late with WiFi 6E. I would really like Apple to deliver superior chips, but once Intel has access to advanced chip manufacturing (from TSMC or their own) I fear that Apple (with all the staff fluctuations) will be not able to compete in the long term.
DOOMED, I say!
