Amazon’s search function is misleading when “HomeKit” is requested, and so the HomeKit link in this article also misleads. Searching Amazon for “HomeKit” returns many items that do not support HomeKit, and sometimes the non-HomeKit versions of products that do support HomeKit.

Philips Hue will be compatible with new Matter home connectivity standard
I wonder about the security implications of using Matter to include non-HomeKit devices on a HomeKit network. Also, what, if any, is the relationship between Matter and Thread?

Just updated iPadOS to 14.3 on my iPad Pro 2017. No sign of Apple Fitness. Is it not available for this model?

Apple tells users to erase, restore iPhone and Apple Watch to fix Workout GPS data bug
The upgrade to iOS 14 & iPadOS 14 both cleared out Notes, which have each taken ~2 weeks to completely download from iCloud.com. Notes is important to me, which makes this workaround unappealing.

Apple News+ fails to bring in new subscribers despite impressive launch
I think Apple’s done a good job with the app, but many of the mags in N+ aren’t that strong. I’d like to see a variety of narrowly focused specialty publications. Enough with People, etc. Also, access to newspapers & magazines in languages beyond English would be interesting.

Review: Apple Card is more of an experience than a reward generator
“Another drawback to titanium is its rigidity. The American Express card is denser, as it is stainless steel, but is more flexible than the lighter titanium Apple Card. On certain card skimmers, such as those on some gas station pumps, require the card to flex a bit. It can be difficult, if not impossible to use the Apple Card with these.
“Fortunately, we are all moving away from swiping to chips, and from chips to contactless payments.”
There’s another problem with my local ExxonMobile pumps: Apple Pay using Apple Card is not accepted, even though Apple Pay works just fine with Amex and another MasterCard. Pump seems to think there’s a debit card behind the Apple Pay. The Apple Card is also not accepted when inserted directly into the pump.
