  • Apple condemns British spy agency group's proposal to evade message encryption

    I am sure this key would ‘leak’ on the black market just like how CIA’s or NSA’s malware is being to damage American cities.
    I don't see how it would "leak" on the black market as there's no backdoor modification to any of Apple encrypted messaging service, nor are the Brits asking for one. They simply want Google and Apple and the rest to be legally required to add GCHQ as another recipient of the target's still encrypted message. Apple who whoever would still be the company responsible for actually doing it if I read this correctly. Certainly not something I would advocate for, but still far better than a weakened encryption service. 

    In fact I'm wondering if this is already in play in a couple of other countries.  It would explain how Apple iMessage has escaped the same fate of the other encrypted messaging services who have refused to cow-tow in China and Russia. At least in China it is no longer Apple iCloud nor an Apple-controlled service, rebadged as GCBD iCloud and run by the Chinese. Simply inserting themselves as an additional recipient of still-encrypted iMessages would be the so-simple fix. Russia may bve in the process of doing something similar. 
    iMessage keys are not held by . The new iMessage syncing feature is enabled by a circle of secure devices. iCloud storage holds your backup info, photos, contacts, etc. which  has a key for. Not your iMessage.I believe  is trying to enable this circle of secure devices, for more cloud features, so they dont have the keys.

  • iPhone 7 'Loop Disease' audio chip issue targeted in class action complaint

    Solder joints fracture from bending. Hmm... I didn’t know people were supposed to bend their phones. I’m wondering how many of the “defective” phones were dropped or sat on.
    The iPhone motherboards are screwed into the chasis. So every time you drop or throw  your device(7) the board flexes. The audio IC chip is a large chip & due to its size when it flexes ,it’s connection with the board gets loose. This can happen due to regular use & because  used the same board design they used in the 6 & 6S. I thank Jessa Jones for helping me understand the issue clearly.

  • Tips: How to check on and cancel software and service subscriptions on your iPhone or iPad...

    The iOS 12.1.4 has introduced a much simpler way to manage subscriptions. Go to the App Store. Click updates, your profile head. Then select Manage Subscriptions. I applaud Apple for making management of subscriptions much easier with this software.
    You don’t need to tap Updates first, just tap the profile-picture from the landing page in App Store.

    Its better, but not easy enough. Tapping the profile head-picture to get to subscriptions isn’t intuitive.
    I honestly think it’s the best they could with iOS 12.Its 2 less clicks. I must clear a mistake I made. You just launch the App Store>Click Profile photo>Manage Subscriptions.
