  • What to expect from Apple 'AirTags' tracking accessory in fall 2020

    Seems like this would be perfect for attaching to toddlers. Then you could just let them roam free and you’d always be able to find them.

    And iOS won’t be preloaded, saving a lot of Apples time. 

    Looking forward to Macs without power cords too.

    Glad to see we’re heading towards the 22nd century with a better architecture and software platform. Now if only the Windows platform would just die already.

    He is quite right to shame Apple.   They should be ashamed.

    Their blocking the use of bluetooth for necessary apps will cost tens of thousands of lives. 

    Trump already has the blood of almost 70,000 on his hands.  Does Tim want the blood of that much and more on his hands?    When your mother, father, wife or child is dying this ideological argument for "privacy" tends to lose its appeal.
    Was it too difficult to read the whole article? Did you miss the part where Apple and Google created an API that France could have elected to use that would accomplish the same goal more effectively without compromising security?

    So it isn't an either or situation. No doubt France has been far more effective in addressing Covid-19 then the US, but in this instance France is blinded by its hate of American companies. I also find it ironic that France hit Apple with a big penalty for updating IOS in a way that effected performance for older iPhone, but here it wants Apple to adopt a solution that will kill battery life. The hypocrisy is amplified by the fact that Apple has given France a solution. 

    Apple also has to worry about what it is willing to do for one Country it will have to be willing to do for all. This access can be abused and Apple will have a hard time putting the cat back in the bag once released. 


    This person is a troll who continues to reduce the quality of our discussions.
