    How long do teeth get? I wonder what the origin of this saying is. 

    Makes me wonder whether Tim Cook still has his natural teeth, whether he has any titanium implants, or whether he adventures with dentures. 

    Bring on the M3 processor!

    This is the first time I've heard the 2023 launches are mooted to be muted. Doesn't sound like much will be happening at all in 2023 if things are muted. Turn it up to minus 11! 😂🤣

  • Apple has two big CarPlay problems

    Really getting tired of the snowflakes and trolls claiming that it's JUST SO TIRESOME to actually have to PLUG IN their iPhones to use Apple CarPlay! Don't you get exhausted having to press all those buttons and keys on your computers? And no one tells you how hard it is to actually CHARGE Mac computers! You have to reach over, grab a cable and laboriously plug them in! Thank God Apple has wireless chargers for the tablets, Airpods and phones, or you'd be too tired to use them.

    And what's with those batteries? If I keep my phone in my pocket, the battery eventually dies! If only there were a way to charge the phone in the car without actually having to TAKE IT OUT OF MY POCKET and put it on the wireless charging pad without expending any effort. Why doesn't Apple invent a wireless charger that just fits in a phone case so I never have to charge it again. Or batteries that never discharge. Now there's an idea! Let's call Tim Cook and tell him to get right on it!
    The ridiculous thing about the complainers is that most people need to charge their iphones, and doing it will driving is a great time to be charging!!!

    I mean, my external CarPlay screen is both wired and wireless, but I almost always plug it in to power because... I want a charge top up!

    Wireless CarPlay is not straightforward to implement as wired. If there are more than one iPhone, the car needs to decide which one will use CarPlay. 
    This is a suspect statement. Obviously the CarPlay ONLY pairs to the iPhone it has initially been paired with!

    there is never any confusion about which iPhone CarPlay will pair with, come on, please don't make up problems. There are enough real problems to be worried with fake problems.

  • You might be ready for side loading on iPhone, but your parents aren't

    I recently had to help my MIL set up something with her iPhone. When I asked her to open the App Store she hunted around between 4 screens of app icons before declaring she doesn’t have an App Store. 

    I showed her how to find it and then how search for the app she needed. 

    Here’s the thing, she thinks she downloaded Words with Friends and Township from Facebook. Why? Because she saw an ad on FB, tapped it and it brought her to the App Store where she downloaded it. She doesn’t realize she left Facebook and went to Apple’s store. 

    As mentioned in the article, I can absolutely see her being urged to install a third-party store, having no idea what she’s in for, and downloading Onavo or worse, and being none the wiser, all from some ad on Facebook. 

    Third-party stores and side-loading will be a boon to shady developers. 

    ETA: My MIL also has a Mac, her first was a Bondi Blue iMac, so she isn’t new to them. I have made it a habit to run Malware Bytes every couple of months for her and it isn’t particularly uncommon for something to be found. She loves to install stupid BS “apps”, like the one that put a rotating carousel on her desktop (“It’s SO CUTE!”) and meanwhile it’s getting flagged as malware. I had to argue with her about removiung some malware program she had installed. She was upset that I wanted to delete it because she had paid for it.

    My guess is that sort of thing will only get worse when/if iOS is opened to third-party stores or side-loading.
    Wow, what a nightmare. People who write malware need harsh punishment.
