If only it could change color to indicate my mood…

If I knew you better I’d say, “and then I wouldn’t have to look at your face”! 😈

But iOS 17 already automatically does this without needing a button. Just pan or zoom the map and it updates.

Apple Maps is available in browser now too. Finally. 

Apple Maps has been available in the browser for a while. DuckDuckGo started using it over 5 years ago:

https://mashable.com/article/duckduckgo-apple-maps

https://duckduckgo.com/?q=cupertino+map&t=osx&ia=web&iaxm=maps&source=about (click Maps link if it doesn't open directly)

Maybe https://beta.maps.apple.com/ is what he meant?

Any update on what happens after the first 2 years of free satellite SOS for iPhone 14 users? What do we pay, or does it stay free with say iCloud+?

Whilst I’m enjoying your combative attitude, does a supplier doing it that (Windows) way, really prove your point?

Interesting that you perceive me telling you that you’re incorrect  as “combative”.  And yes it proves my point. You don’t understand what you’re taking about. 

OK, maybe this quote from WSJ Article will help you understand:

On July 21, 2024, 12:03 am EDT Wall Street Journal said:

CrowdStrike’s bug was so devastating because its security software, called Falcon, runs at the most central level of Windows, the kernel, so when an update to Falcon caused it to crash, it also took out the brains of the operating system. That is when the blue screen of death appeared.

In 2020, Apple told developers that its MacOS operating system would no longer grant them kernel-level access.

That change was a pain for Apple’s partners, but it also meant that a blue screen-style problem couldn’t happen on Macs, said Patrick Wardle, the chief executive of Mac security maker DoubleYou.  

“What it meant was that a lot of third-party developers, ourselves included, had to rewrite our security software,” he said.

A Microsoft spokesman said it cannot legally wall off its operating system in the same way Apple does because of an understanding it reached with the European Commission following a complaint. In 2009, Microsoft agreed it would give makers of security software the same level of access to Windows that Microsoft gets.
