    I don’t understand why Apple don’t implement PIP for all apps. Kinda like this this that Microsoft implemented decades ago call Windows. 
    Apple allows it for all apps.  It’s up to the app developer incorporate it into their app.

  • Apple AirTag anti-stalking features aren't working in a lot of cases

    This clickbait title was the last straw. I am taking the site out of my RSS feed. 
    My thoughts exactly.   The article actually shows why AirTags are the better alternative when it comes to anti stalking.    The article should be titled. AirTags the only tracking device that out of the gate built in features to mitigate stalking everyone else play catch-up or does nothing.

  • Apple Watch Series 7 has a fast charging problem

    Fast charging is nice for those times when you wake up and notice you forgot to charge your watch before you went to bed,   However, fast charging all the time has shown to reduce the total life of the battery.  In other words if you don’t need the quick juice then it’s actually better to use a standard charge.  This goes for all lithium batteries.   Fast charge = more heat and more heat = bad for battery.  Regardless of brand or device. This is just how batteries (currently) work.   It my belief that apple doesn’t really embrace fast charging like other companies because they know that repeated fast charging will lead to accelerated battery degradation.   You notice that IPhones “fast charge” is not nearly as fast is Samsung.  It’s by design not because Apple lacks the ability.   Personally I could care less about fast charging as a feature.    But that’s me

  • FCC launches official speed test app for broadband data collection program

    Yes. This app has been around for years. Not sure why this article thinks it was just launched.

  • T-Mobile launches unlimited 5G Home Internet service

    T mobile 5G on my iPhone 12 Pro Max averages 250-300 mbps (Miami ,FL) and has peaked at just over 500.  I wonder if they are going to throttle the use and keep it in the 100 range.     If they don’t this sounds like a good option.
