  • Privacy nightmare FaceApp causes Apple & Google to be fined in Brazil

    Since both Apple and Google "play an active role in the consumer chain, providing infrastructure and conditions for the operation of FaceApp," the companies are being held responsible. 

    I agree with the judge's reasoning. Apple should do better in protecting user privacy from rogue apps.

    And who will be responsible when alternate app stores are enabled?

  • Apple's iPhone 17 Slim is a wrongheaded approach that ignores what people really want

    There are some folks that want small. iPhone SE. 
    One size does NOT fit all

    Quite surprised by this one-sided strong take. I've consistently seen complaints that iPhones are too thick and heavy, especially since the 14 Pro, and requests for smaller and lighter phones, like the equivalent of a iPad mini or a better SE. And many would sacrifice a bit of battery life for it. Definitely not the majority, but there is a market for it. Such a one-sided take seems out of touch especially from a professional tech writer.

  • Apple's Magic Mouse charging port design has never been a big deal

    The Apple Apologist in full effect. If that was ANY other company that did that, you'd be talking about how bad of a design it was and who in the world would put the charging port on the bottom of a mouse so that you can't use it while it's charging.

    Doesn't matter how often or not it needs charging, still an awful way to do that!!
    I agree.  Apple should have moved the port🤢

  • EU hits back at Apple withholding Apple Intelligence from the region

    Intentionally omitting features as retaliation?  Yeah, Apple is gonna LOVE the multi-billion fine for this little stunt.

    The EU is done playing.  Apple will behave, or they will PAY.
    Hahahaha. Pay what? They will now fine them for NOT releasing a product or service into their geography because they do not want to run afoul of rules they disagree with and could impact user privacy?

    Think about how faulty your logic is.

    The faster the EU toss Vestager and the commission they better they will be.


    Just when will Vestager demand that Apple turn over complete control of all products to the her/the EU?
    Her comments reflect a philosophy that security of products are not a valid reason in development.
