  • Apple releases iOS 12.4.2 for older iPhone & iPad, alongside watchOS 5.3.2

    iOS works beautifully on my SE. Sure, there are a few minor bugs, like any other OS.

  • iPhone loyalty rates down to 8-year low, survey claims

    No measure of how many aren't trading in because they hold on to hardware either for their own use or to hand down to another family member. 
    Absolutely correct.  I'm still using my SE and I might continue until the 2020 iPhones arrive.  It's still completely functional and is currently running iOS 13 developer betas without any problems that are specific to the SE model.

  • Apple investigating iPhone 6 explosion in California

    I noticed a lot of kids (sometimes, even adults) love to charge while still using (e.g. playing PUBG while charging). Often, I notice the iPhones/iPads run rather hot (warmer than usual) when they do so. Is this not another potential higher risk factor that so many people are ignoring until some serious incident happens?
    I haven't come across any advisories or instructions from Apple that suggest avoiding charging while using iPhones.

  • Citigroup bailed on Apple Card because of worries about profits

    ....As bad a rep as Goldman Sachs has, Barclay is basically a criminal enterprise. 
    On the other hand, my new Barclay-backed UBER credit card pays me 4% back on all dining and bars. This adds up quickly. Of course, for this to be profitable for me, I have to carry no balance and incur no late fees. I make sure of this by having automatic full balance payments made from my checking account, which itself has overdraft protection. You can make even the most usurious credit cards work for you, but you have to play the game better than they do.

  • 'Over the Rainbow' composer's estate sues Apple & others over 'pirated' music sales

    What a nerve! These are the same label companies that ripped off their artists and in many cases never paid them dime. Now they are crying for ambiguously being treated unfairly? I have zero sympathy for them and would love to see big companies rip them a new ahole. 
    C'mon, read the article.  This isn't a suit by the record companies.  It's the estate of the songwriter.
