What do you want to see from AppleInsider in 2024?
We have a rumor rating system that clearly labels every rumor based on how likely it is given the source. Our headlines always state when something is an announcement from Apple versus a possible future. If it doesn’t directly say “Rumor” or “supply chain” in the headline or lede, it says something like “may” or “might.”Alrescha said:More than anything, I'd like to see your headlines stop treating rumors and allegations as fact. It's infuriating. And by infuriating I mean it makes me stop reading AI for months at a time, deleting it from my RSS reader and browsing habits.
if you have examples of where this isn’t true, that would be helpful. We appreciate the chance to do better if there’s something we can improve.

Stolen Device Protection to thwart iPhone thieves with passcodes with time delay
Everyone saying to use Screen Time forgets that if a thief has access to your device (without Stolen Device Protection) the thief can use the passcode to learn your Apple ID and password from keychain then use that to unlock Screen Time. Sure, it's an extra step, but you're only adding a couple of minutes to the thief having access to change your password.
Stolen Device Protection can't be bypassed without access to the original user's fingerprint or face, twice, in an hour. If anyone can think of how to bypass that without kidnapping the victim, then I think the feature works.

iPhone 15 Pro review three months later: Worth every penny
No, William has it. The outer rim is titanium, but that's it. The internal frame is aluminum to reduce weight even further. Also, I can say there is a perceptible difference in weight. The iPhone 15 Pro Max I have with a Pitaka aramid fiber case now weighs just slightly more than the iPhone 14 Pro Max without a case. That's a big deal.dbs888 said:I sense a little FanBoi hyperbole in this post. The titanium doesn't "wrap over the aluminum frame".

Google Drive users complain of missing files, months of data disappearing
I disagree. We're discussing cloud storage, so documents, files, etc. I'm not sure what you mean by "critical services" that you can't back up.That's just an unrealistic and untenable mentality in this day and age. Literally everything lives in the cloud include critical services that don't even have the option of backing up offline.Memory is cheaper than ever. Buy a couple TBs, hook it up to a Mac, run daily local backups of all your data. Or, if you're all in on iPad and iPhone like me and don't utilize a Mac in your workflow, have your essential data saved locally and keep frequent backups in an external SSD.For example, I have iCloud Photos and I have them saved locally to both my iPad Pro and iPhone. They are also stored in Apple's iCloud. Crucial files are backed up regularly on an external SSD, work files are local and synced with the cloud. So I have multiple copies in multiple locations including the cloud.It sounds like these Google Drive users had their canonical files in the cloud and nowhere else. That's never a good idea. Ever.

'Napoleon' is a hit with the box office, but not so much with critics
Rule number 3. If you've got an issue or see mistakes in the article, please send us an email. Complaining in the forums derails the conversation. The topic should be about the news, not how it was written.winstoner71 said:Speaking of criticism
Thank you
