    My kids went swimming with my iPhone 7+ but unfortunately, the phone did not survive.
    It is waterproof though.
    No... water RESISTANT. The only "water proof" Apple product, so far, is the Series 3 Apple Watch. 
    The Apple Watch is only water resistance, too.

    Apple Watch Series 3 has a water resistance rating of 50 meters under ISO standard 22810:2010. This means that it may be used for shallow-water activities like swimming in a pool or ocean. However, Apple Watch Series 3 should not be used for scuba diving, waterskiing, or other activities involving high-velocity water or submersion below shallow depth.
    General rule of thumb: Never describe anything manmade as waterproof.

    Their Tech Specs list for the 13" MBP:
    8GB of 2133MHz LPDDR3 onboard memory
    Configurable to 16GB of memory

    Their Tech Specs list for the 15" MBP:
    16GB of 2400MHz DDR4 onboard memory
    Configurable to 32GB of memory

    Unless it's a typo, it sounds like no 15" MBP will be getting LPDDR4 RAM because they are using a single, re-engineered board until Intel has the proper mobile chips available. I guess that's good for me because it means I can hold off buying a new MBP which hopefully has Face ID by then, too.

    Where can I watch this movie?
    Nowhere right now. As the article states it was at the Tribeca Film Festival earlier this year (20 April 2018), and will be shown in San Jose on July 26th. No other info on a theatrical or streaming video release is known.

  • Apple looking to deploy 1Password company-wide, company buy-out denied [u]

    I agree that 1Password is much more than a simple password manager - I have been using it for a long time.
    However, the iOS keychain is now much more convenient than 1Password as a single user password manager.
    I have several apps/web sites that prompt me regularly for a password. With keychain, I can unlock the keychain quickly with touch id, then keychain enters them directly from the "keyboard" - the suggestions seem always correct and match up with the app/website.
    With 1Password I would be switching back and forth to the 1Password app to get the username and password.



    I started using 1Password years ago when Apple ditched Mobile me and keychain syncing. Now I have an uncomfortable mix of 1password and the Apple Keychain. The keychain is definitely more convenient in how well it integrates with iOS, MacOS, Safari, etc, but 1Password is a much better designed and more useful program. I would love for it to be able to access the keychain, or for Apple to incorporate it into MacOS
    1P with Safari is seamless enough. On macOS they have extensions for you’re browser of choice, and for iOS you can easy set 1P to be the first item in the list when you tap the box with the up-arrow in it from the bottom-center of the mobile Safari app.
