  • The AirTag stalking problem is only partially Apple's problem, it's mostly law enforcement...

    Thanks for this clear-headed article that succinctly outlines the problem and solution(s), Mike.

    It is infuriating when other media (including some Apple-oriented sites that really should know better) report stories on this and pretend as though Tile (still no anti-tracking features) has never existed. Indeed, Tile has just become a stalker's best friend -- having been bought by data collection company Life360! The anti-Apple slant of this reporting may actually be giving people the false impression that their non-Apple tracker stuff is safer/better when in fact that's the opposite!
    Apple is making an ass of itself, yet again. (Remember the recent previous incident, where they ended up with a mea culpa and pulled it? Anyone?). They had better fix this problem, yesterday, or end up with pie on their faces again.

    If you're going to sell privacy as your competitive advantage, then guess what, you'd bloody well better make that front-and-center to everything you sell, everything you do. Period.

  • India antitrust regulator launches probe into Apple App Store payments

    Fools. Trying to protect local digital payments startups. 

    At this point, it's hard to escape the feeling that India will be a global economic also-ran for a good while longer...

    Collective action exists for a reason, and surprise surprise, it’s not to please internet trolls.  I will always support workers standing up to the paternalistic contempt of their employers.  
    Care to share the evidence on Apple's "paternalistic contempt" for these employees?

    Or, far more likely, did you just make that up?

    Next we will hear from photographers angry that their landscapes are being spoiled by these red eight sided signs and will demand their removal. 

    Sorry but A) this is for all of our protection, and B )it really isn’t that big a deal. I’ve seen a number of exported videos with a little orange dot in the corner. This is Much Ado About NOTHING.
    What a ridiculous, dismissive, overwrought assertion.

    When you see angry photographers doing that, get back to us.

  • Shareholder resolution potentially pushed Apple to announce Self Service Repair

    anantksundaramanantksundaram
    Shareholder resolution led Apple to this? I don’t think so. 

    Biden issued an executive order in July requiring this, FTC staff approved it, and FTC commissioners voted in favor of it. 

    Everyone is going to be doing the same. We’re all perhaps making  a virtue out of a necessity.
