Apple accidentally unpatches iOS vulnerability, hacker creates new jailbreak
This does indicate a breakdown somewhere in Apple's quality control and verification procedures. This should not happen.

High-end 2019 Apple iPhone lineup may shift to 'Pro' branding
It's really hard to argue the base 13"MacBook Pro has more features. It's a base unit with a whole lot less. Apple overuses the word Pro IMO. Using it on the true high end models would make sense at least.StrangeDays said:
Because it does more. More features mean more price. You don’t get to have more things for free just because you don’t like spending money.rogifan_new said:
One that costs more.sflocal said:What is a “Pro” phone? Doesn’t make sense to me.

Raymond James upgrades Apple stock to $250 on 2020 iPhone promise
I'm not sure I care about 5G yet but I am very much waiting to get QC modems back instead of the Intel junk.

Apple could raise keys on an iPad keyboard for better typing in the future
You mean old farts who need to type without looking at the keyboard? Cause no one does that anymore.macplusplus said:Any physical keyboard matters only to old farts. Millenials have grown up with touch screen keyboards and they have seen clickety clack ones only on dad’s desk and on Chromecraps at the school. Apparently engineers at Apple have so much spare time to deal with patent bureaucracy.

16-inch MacBook Pro release, MacBook Air updates predicted for September
Of course that's crazy. However there's a big difference between "cheap"accessories and a $2-5000 computer.macxpress said:
Seriously...you want fucking AirPods to be "repairable"? You are seriously off your rocker! Why does EVERYTHING have to be repairable? What's next, we want repairable lightbulbs so we don't have to buy new ones when they blow out?bobolicious said:
Apple claims they will listen to customers after the last mac pro...Rajka said:No doubt the new MacBook Pro will be thin to the point of a fault, difficult to repair, not upgradeable or expandable. Oh, and quite expensive. And it will sport the new failed keyboard that is awful to type on to begin with. (That's a matter of one's preference though.) Those are my predictions. I'll pass. On yet another MBP. Just like on the Mac Pro. Apple doesn't make computers for me any longer. Sigh.
"Seventy-five per cent of people surveyed said they support "right to repair" legislation that would make it easier to fix devices."
