  • AirTags catch United Airlines in lie about missing luggage

    ravnorodomravnorodom
    I think in the future airline should offer their own AirTag to customer for a $2 per luggage and per one-way trip rental. The tracking system will be integrated with their system. Customer just download their airline app and track it from there.

    I also have a gripe which should be a third "pain point" in this article.  Issue is with people who bought first gen carplay vehicles when the technology was introduced.  I have a Honda Accord 2016 and carplay was fine for the first few years.... My car has had ZERO software updates from Honda.  I've been through a few iPhones and several iOS updates since owning the car.  In the last 3-4 years I've had nothing but problems.  Android OS crashes, carplay freezing, carplay disconnecting, etc.  I've opened cases with Honda (while under warranty), and the issues can't be duplicated at the dealership.  I've provided screenshots and videos from my experience.  Honda blames Apple, Apple blames Honda.  There are literally hundreds of forum posts about this and in the end, the customer loses out.  Overall, its been a very underwhelming experience.  Sometimes when carplay freezes it messes up my entire infotainment system.  I have to pull over and turn off car and turn back on. 

    I know this is a huge PTA, and something that Apple/Honda should be fixing. I understand that and completely sympathize.
    But TBH as a former IT Tech the fact that you have to fix the issue by “turning it off and turning it back on again”, I find rather amusing. 

    Yes... I am a current IT Network Engineer and find it amusing that you cannot reboot the operating system while car is on (even in park for example).  It could happen again shortly after the reboot.  Carplay has been beyond a frustrating experience. 
    I used to have Mazda CX5 SUV and when the navigation going nuts (like freeze, blank screen or partial green screen), I had to park somewhere, shut off the engine and restart in order to reboot infotainment. My current car is Mercedes GLC300 and sometimes when the navigation freezes, it reboots itself after 5 min without parking car and shutting off engine. I wonders if the rest of modern cars work the same way.

    Next move, Apple, please, increase iCloud storage to 4TB without subscribing to Apple One. I don't play game that often.

  • Apple preparing for third-party app stores by 2024

    Since nobody is forced to use a third party App Store this is a good thing. Personally I believe that iOS (and iPadOS) are much more important for security than the App Store and that the App Store is more about policy (and money).
    The problem is that we will have no choice. Want Adobe or MS software? Use their store. Want games from any of the big companies? Use their store. Want games from small developers? Plan on loading the app for some warehouse AppStore that charges really low commissions. There will be a flight from Apple’s AppStore and we all will have a full page of different AppStore apps. Little of what we want, other than Apple’s own software will be available on Apple’s store. 
    It sounds bad but it’s kind of good in a way. If I am in Adobe App Store, I know for sure it’s comig from Adobe and not those knock off apps that are seen so many in Apple App Store. Adobe App Store can pay Apple 30% to host it.
