Apple to let developers port iOS apps to Mac, starts with own apps in macOS Mojave
I knew Apple would go this route because it’s the only route that makes logical sense.
Adding UIKit made the most sense when I was trying to port a barcode tutorial app that I macOS and I couldn’t work out how to do it despite developing it in iOS being super simple. I wished Apple just ported UIKit to macOS and have it work the way a macOS app would.
I think Apple is able to read my mind. I mean given iPhone and Apple Watch are connected to me constantly it seems maybe they’ve worked out how to read brain waves as well. That’s both super cool and super scary as well -
Apple issued government warning over repair, replacement practices in New Zealand
It’s not just Apple that have been found guilty of this. Companies like Harvey Norman, Dick Smith, Supercheap Autos, Bunnings, all of which are Australian owned companies.
All offer their own warranties but they are not needed because all products in New Zealand are covered by the Consumer Guarantees Act.
Apple NZ however technically does not exist even if they do have their own offices here. Everything is run out of Australia. -
Apple updates iWork for Mac and iPad with Apple Pencil annotations & more [u]
MisterKit said:This would seem to break cross platform compatibility between Mac and iOS versions. Annotated documents will be read only on Mac in some aspects.

Criminal lawsuit over iPhone battery slowdowns filed in France, where planned obsolescence...
jeffharris said:After I got an iPhone 7, my iPhone 6 just sat for about 6 months.
I plugged it, hoping to wipe it and either sell it or use it like an iPod Touch.
However. it couldn't even charge enough to boot up. It stopped charging altogether.
When I took it to the Apple Store, they said I should just throw it away, the repair would be too expensive.
They didn't even have a definitive answer as to what was wrong with it.
Gotta love it. -
Some of the best apps for your new Apple Watch
Wunderlist is rubbish on the Apple Watch.
I use my Apple Watch to remind me of large mail I have to deliver ( I’m a motorcycle postie) and I found both Wunderlist and Swipes to have issues with large amounts of reminders as well as synching issues when completing the task/reminder. I just find the built in Reminders app to be more powerful for my needs.
