“In April, it partnered with the University of Washington and the Seattle Flu Study to see if the Apple Watch could predict illnesses, like the fu, or other respiratory ailments.”

Who knew AppleWatch would be instrumental in fu-fighting? 

Do leakers belong at Apple?

Depends. 

I bought a 4-pack of them, had the custom icons/letters placed on them before they shipped. All four were placed into service at more or less the same time. 

For Apple to be this bad at damage control is very off-brand.

Just about everything Maher said was incorrect, but it will be passed around as gospel because Apple has done such a poor job getting the fact of the case out. It is time for full-page ads and volunteering to be on shows like 60 Minutes where it can broadcast the details of this feature which (A) has to be opted-in, and (B) which is to be used by parents who have minor children on their same family account. Nothing here about “snooping in the private photos” of adult users.

It is no small amount of irony that misinformation about Apple’s plan will be spread on Facebook, where privacy is an abstract concept and personal information has long since been mined and sold for profit. But that same person will have white knuckles from clutching the pearls so tightly.

I believe the 12 mini was with an eye towards India as a means of providing current tech in a more affordable package. Over a billion people in that country but limited financial resources for most, this is a market Apple is entering now that China growth has stabilized into a more mature market.
