  • Apple plans to expand AirDrop time limit to customers worldwide

    Admittedly, I haven’t tried lately, but whenever I set AirDrop to “Contacts Only” it never worked. It only worked for me when set to “Everyone”. As such, I leave it on “Everyone” and don’t have issues. I use AirDrop frequently, too, and really like it. 
    This, AirDrop’s been very useful over the years. I also need to set it to “everyone”

  • iPhone must use USB-C by 2024, says EU law

    Apple shouldn’t need to be dragged kicking and screaming to implementing USB-C on iPhones. They just can’t seem to get past Lightning because of the revenue it brings in, regardless of how inferior it is.

  • Oprah Winfrey and Apple TV+ end partnership

    I always thought it was a mismatch considering the target audience of Apple TV+. There’s better ways to spend all those millions. 
    what target audience - I've yet to figure out what kind of demo they're aiming at. Their content seems all over the shop.
    Signing Oprah was a smart move, it gave the service credibility and a higher profile.

  • Apple tells suppliers to initially concentrate on iPhone 14 Pro models

    entropys said:
    Well yes. If you aren’t going pro and you don’t want the 14 plus size, might as well save some cash and get the 13.
    This. If the changes inn the camera/lenses don’t  mean much to you, get the 13

    "Hagens Berman is getting about half of the settlement."

    Wow. What a world we live in.

    Once again, only the lawyers win! 
    Hagens Berman is getting about half of the settlement. Users shouldn't expect big cash from this settlement — the email that we received shows a $14.45 payout.

    Yikes - so everything I've seen and experienced from class action lawsuits indicate that where possible it's not a good idea to join them where given the choice.

    Yes, by all means, you should get your own lawyer and sue outside of a class action. See how that works out for you. 
    My wife recently declined a class action against an employer and represented herself. She got $5k versus the $40 for the class action was paying out. It doesn't always require a lawyer, depends on the circumstances.
