iPhone 12 Pro Max has the best smartphone display, says DisplayMate
Does the 12 Pro Max beat the 12 Pro simply because of the size? Or were there other tested differences?

Foxconn allegedly testing folding iPhone, projected Sept. 2022 release
I know people like to make fun of folding mobile devices, I think the problem is that it hasn’t been done well yet. I assume a well thought out and a well done folding device that is durable could be awesome.I would be glad Apple is working on it—I want to see what they come up with when the technology is there to make it to Apple’s standards.

What happened during the troubled Big Sur launch, and why Apple can't let it happen again
To be fair, reading on the AI app on my iPhone, there is no way to tell that it is an editorial. I don’t see the heading anywhere except in your screen capture...Mike Wuerthele said:mSak said:This is a very long-winded article that can be re-written with these points:- There was a botch that happened with the launch of macOS 11 Big Sur which itself is not greatly problematic.- The big problem is that this affected other Mac users who, though were not downloading Big Sur, had trouble with opening some existing applications already on their computerThat's it! That's what the article really is or should be about!
This piece is a discussion about it, and those tend to be a bit lengthier. The article is clearly labeled as an editorial, as posted from the screen cap above.

Do feel free to discuss your opinion about the topic at hand. How William chose to structure the Editorial with opinions is up to him, and isn't a topic for debate. If you'd like to discuss his opinions that's fine.

'AirTags' appear to include privacy features to stop unwanted tracking
I wonder if they will include some sort of time-out feature. If the Air Tag doesn’t sync up with the owner’s phone after a while, maybe it stops transmitting real time information?Rayz2016 said:
Good question.mike1 said:AppleInsider said:
One of the code strings reads "If you feel your safety is at risk due to this item, contact your local law enforcement. You may need the serial number of this item."
Another piece of evidence indicates that Apple could alert users with an "unknown accessory detected" prompt if they are carrying a tracking device that doesn't belong to them. "This item has been moving with you for a while. The owner can see its location," an alert reads.
Apple may also provide instructions on how to disassemble an unfamiliar "AirTags" tracking device so that users can stop sharing their location.
The security and safety features should help address concerns about unwanted tracking and stalking, such as if a bad actor surreptitiously places an AirTag device in someone's bag.
Other "AirTags" evidence found within the first iOS 14.3 beta include information on the initial setup process, apparent compatibility of the Find My app with third-party tracking devices, and a feature that allows a user to scan an AirTag and bring up its owners information.
What if the "target" is not an iPhone user?This is to help you find your own items (keys, wallet, iPad...) and you are not likely to need to track them for days. I can even imagine you could disable the time-out feature if you report your device missing or stolen... -
