'iPhone 13' said to be minutely thicker overall, with noticeably larger camera bump
I highly doubt that camera array considering there’s no LiDAR sensor.
As for the thickness, as mentioned before, who sticks an old case on a new phone? Who cares if the phone is fractionally thicker, it means they have more room for a bigger battery to fill the space.

Amazon partners with Tile to compete with Apple AirTag
I turned Sidewalk off as soon as it was released. I absolutely refuse to allow Amazon to use me for anything, especially after their track record.
I have also removed every Amazon device in my house with the exception of 2 FireSticks that I use offline. I have a USB OTG adapter connected to them with Thumb Drives to play movies or shows on my kids’ TVs. -
Taking on AirTag, T-Mobile's SyncUp Tracker has LTE, seven days of battery
I don’t think these are meant for basic tracking. I think this would be good to toss in a kids backpack to make sure they get to and from school a safely. Another good use would be to have one on your kid when going out, especially in a crowded area.
Of course there are the malicious uses as well. Tracking someone unknowingly is the most obvious. -
Sen. Amy Klobuchar calls AirTags release 'timely' ahead of Senate antitrust hearing
That would be considered Patent Infringement, not Anticompetitive. Anticompetitive would be if Apple removed Tile’s App from the App Store and then revoked Tile’s Developers License.NoFliesOnMe said:I have read all the comments on this thread, and I feel that, so far they miss the point.
Why Apple is guilty of anticompetitive behavior is that, as far as I know, have not approached Tile to license their product idea. This is something that Apple has done many times over the years, and we are all aware of it.
I am not opposed to Apple releasing a product like AirTag but I do think they should pay a fee to Tile for doing the hard work of developing an entirely new product and pushing it into the market place first.
Apple should look after the people and companies that function within their ecosystem, and operate with the high moral standards they like to talk about in the media. I am not saying they can’t compete, but at least acknowledge where the ideas come from and reward those involved.
Tile also has no grounds for patent infringement because they use totally different technologies. Apple Utilizes the U1 and UWB, while Tile uses Bluetooth. Apple can utilize the ecosystem they developed, to track missing items. Tile has a similar feature that uses other tiles. The major difference is that Tile’s prospective network can be the same if not larger that Apple’s Ecosystem, because Tile also works on Android. Imagine if everyone who owns an iPhone or Android phone also owned a single Tile.
Tile’s lack of innovation, and poor marketing make them a niche product that only super techies or people who work in retailers that sell them, would actually know who Tile is and what their product is used for. -
P&G worked with Chinese ad agency on bypass of Apple privacy feature
I’m pretty sure that trying to find a way to bypass the new rules, is not “prioritizing data privacy”. I’m also pretty sure you aren’t being very transparent about it, and you aren’t asking anyone anything.AppleInsider said:
In a statement to The Wall Street Journal, P&G said it is working with the Chinese Advertising Agency to develop ways to "deliver useful content consumers want in a way that prioritizes data privacy, transparency and consent."
