Don't lose your iPhone in South Korea, because Find My doesn't work there
AirTags don't work in Korea either. Same as Google maps or any Google supposed location sharing - that is also useless there. Apple Maps is better than Google Maps, but both are useless in South Korea. To get around, you need Naver or Kakao Maps for maps, while CityMapper works in Seoul and is good for walking routes / public transport but it works nowhere else. Naver has the option to use an English language UI but Kakao is all in Korean. Waze somehow works, but is lacking a lot of info (e.g. lane and toll information as well as some minor roads) so I had to fall back on the Hyundai built-in navigation system in my rental car.
I am pretty sure Samsung location tracking works because it uses Naver or Kakao as underlying technology and not Google. This is a South Korea specific issue, not an Apple specific issue and the article is just poor in terms of facts. -
Phil Schiller warns third-party app stores are a risk to iPhone users
Funny thing is that where I live, the government is actively urging people to only get apps from the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store. There has been a tremendous amount of financial fraud through malicious APKs on Android. Most of the victims are housewives, retirees and other less tech savvy users. The banking apps have mandatory functionality added on Android to check for presence of malware and the banking app fails to launch if it detects questionable 3rd party installed applications (some of them are actually not malicious). These 3rd party side-loaded apps (installation is done through a web link which the user accepts) are then able to run the banking app in the background (login and password recorded by screen/keyboard intercept) and intercept 2nd factor authorisation and sms and in-app notifications. The fraud is completely done in the background but to the bank appears as a valid transaction by the account holder.
I wish the EU good luck with managing malware and financial fraud at a large scale.

Data about Apple's AR headset screens has been leaked
9secondkox2 said:The screens don’t compete with daylight in a closed environment if the daylight is managed via cameras piping in an AR feed from the outer portion of the headset.But this makes great sense if it’s using a glasses/sunglasses form factor.
This will have a positive impact on battery life: a 5000 nits display continuously on will take less than 10 times the energy of a 500 nits display continuously on. So if this factor is 2x, then a 5000 nits image displayed at 10% on duration will take on 20% of the energy of a 500 nits image displayed at 100% of the duration. -
