  • Apple testing M4 MacBook Air with ultra-wide camera & Center Stage support

    scatzscatz
    I have a late 2018 MBA Last of the intels. Love it but have been hankering for more speed as the macos updates have steadily hamstrung performance.

    Weight for me is everything as i carry it around everywhere. After that it's clarity of screen and then battery and performance.

    Some super deals here in the UK on the M3, but may wait until the m4 appears. Really hope they don't add more weight!

  • Instagram being blamed for iPhone 15 overheating issues

    scatzscatz
    I have an iPhone X that cannot be upgraded to ios17 as it is now deemed a legacy device (but still runs fine on ios 16).

    If i use the daily telgraph app (uk news) it heats up after a while and becomes really hot. I check the battery usage and lo-and-behold the cpu use for the app is very high. Quit the app and it cools down pretty fast. That is not the phone or ios 16 but shoddy code in the app.

    So, just saying, third party apps are sometimes the culprit !

  • This may be the best look yet at the iPhone 15 color assortment

    As another poster said, the bold colours from the plastic 5c were really good, loved my shiny yellow one ! Not really warming to these very timid pastels. The imac a while ago had a bunch of much stronger colours on their aluminium casing, so why not these ?

    I'm assuming they'd still work if you use a VPN to appear out of the country to Apple servers.

    I expect Signal would still just work, I can't imagine they'd go to any actual effort to break it, they'd just not "officially" support UK users.
    They would be removed from the UK version of the App Store and as they are mostly indexed by telephone number they would disable any account that used a UK phone number.

    While you may be able to do some workarounds the loss of critical mass and the fact you'd only be able to communicate with existing international users makes it not worth it.

    Sadly I expect the current government in the UK thinks that Apple/Meta and Signal are bluffing, they aren't they are deadly serious and the UK is a small enough market they can that walk away from it.
    The UK is largest market in EMEA by quite a margin.
