Apple leaker suggests 12-inch MacBook refresh could be first ARM Mac
AppleInsider said:
Although apps released through the Mac App Store would likely be unfazed, things would be a bit trickier for independently distributed apps. For example, developers would need to build both ARM and x86 versions of their apps, or take other alternative steps like using emulation for app functionality. Fudge also thinks that Apple could completely abandon Boot Camp as a feature until Windows becomes friendlier to ARM architecture. -
Repair shop loses legal battle with Apple over 'counterfeit' iPhone screen import
BS ruling. Any non-authorized repair voids warranty anyway, but last I checked, we own the devices and don’t rent them from Apple.
Also, there is Apple pretending to be a “green” company, and then takes action against refurbished repair parts, while squashing a small shop with an onslaught of lawyers.
Given that the guy won in the first go around, it’s likely fair to say, that Apple’s high-priced lawyers out argued whatever small lawyer the guy could afford; had he had the funds to use some legal top guns, chances are, he would have prevailed. -

First ARM Mac said to arrive in 2021 with custom Apple chip

What we should see is the ability to install macOS on iPad Pros in conjunction with the keyboard/trackpad, and the addition of a third UI mode.
We already have windowed and full-screen modes in macOS, all that’s required is to add a touchUI mode.
But I’m sick of the limitations of iOS and iPadOS, you can’t even look at the raw message of an e-Mail to analyze headers or embedded URL to see if something is real or a phishing attempt.
There’s no decent file system, no ability to check on background tasks, so if your device is hacked, you have no way of telling, you can’t install any network analysis software, because you’re not given access to MAC-addresses, etc. etc.
iOS and iPadOS are NOT useful as a work platform, they are media consumption platforms which also allow some convenience features like occasional e-Mail checking. Nothing more, nothing less.
Been waiting for years for something more, and the potential to see a real OS i.e. macOS on an iPad-like device, THAT is something to get excited about. Not another f*ing iteration of iOS/iPadOS 🤮 -
France asks Apple to disable iOS security feature for national contact tracing app
Apple should neither lift nor prevent this.
whether an app has or hasn’t continuous access to BT should be a matter a user decides the same way user decide over location settings, access to microphone an camera, etc.
Apple is too restrictive, not towards app programmers, but in terms of giving users ultimate say over access to their data.
