  • Android iMessage app Beeper mini isn't working, and Apple probably killed it

    Why would any company think it's okay to hijack proprietary technology from another company, let alone Apple?  I get why people want to do this, but if they think it's going to be a viable business model, think again.

    I would never want to hire this CEO.  It's obvious he has s**t for brains.

  • Startlingly good iPhone 15 Pro Max fake is hard to spot

    Some company (or person) went through a huge amount of expense (and risk) to develop this knockoff.  What market does this serve to warrant such resources?  

    I wonder if it's for the asian market for those that don't want to pay iPhone prices, but want to "look" like they one for vanity?  Is it to intercept authentic iPhones and swap with this fake one?  Is it to advertise as a real iPhone and essentially steal the person's money?  It would be fascinating to get more info about those making these imposters.

    I'm sure this is on Apple's radar so I hope they shut this company down promptly.  While imitation may be a form of flattery, this is just wrong on every level.

  • How to make sure you get an iPhone, instead of a swapped Android fake

    sflocalsflocal
    I always try to buy my Apple products either in an Apple store, or have it delivered to an Apple Store so when picked-up, I can open the package in the presence of an Apple rep to make sure this exact situation does not occur to me.

    I picked-up my new iPhone15 a couple weeks ago and it was the first time I was not able to have an iPhone picked up at a store.  It was the most stressful few days when it was shipped.  I was able to re-route it to a UPS pickup location but even then I was worried that someone at UPS would tamper with the package.  I don't trust anyone outside of Apple to handle my products.

  • Apple confirms that there is no Apple Silicon 27-inch iMac in the works

    sflocalsflocal
    The way I'm reading it is that there is no 27" iMac in the pipeline because they're busy working on a 32-35" iMac! :)

  • Washington D.C. rolling out Apple AirTag program to help curb car theft

    sflocalsflocal
    Locating a stolen vehicle via AirTags is only part of the solution.  Actually arresting, convicting, and getting the thief locked-away is what needs to happen and to send a message to future would-be thieves.
