  • UK won't copy EU USB-C common charger mandate

    If I was a manufacturer, would I think ” the UK doesn’t have to have a USB-C port, so just for them I’ll make a special model that uses lighting instead and increase my production costs accordingly”?

    No. I’d be an idiot to do that. So we will still get the lightning port dropped just like all other member states. Our stupid government thinks we can just make our own rules, but when you sell to other countries (or huge markets like the EU) we still have to meet their regulations to do so.

    Leaving the EU Is probably the largest act of self-harm we have ever done in this country. We now have to comply with all EU regulations (if we actually made any mobile phones!), but unlike when we were members, we can no longer be part of writing the regulations we will still have to adhere to in order to sell there.

    It’s way beyond idiotic.

  • Microsoft acquiring Activision Blizzard in $68.7B gaming deal

    Apple need. Apple need to … Apple must … Apple have to … or else ….

    They must look at their $3 trillion capitalisation and ask themselves, “Do we though?”.

    Nah.

  • Apple Maps enables accident and hazard reports in Germany

    Just noticed that even when the image that AppleInsider uses to illustrate the article it says “Crash” but they still refer to it as an accident! Can’t get out of the habit. Yet.

    Crucial distinction. Apple have renamed them as such in the app - go to report and incident and the first is Crash!

    Excellent work from Apple, just need the journalists to catch up ..

  • iPadOS 15 confirms Apple's M1-equipped iPad Pro is a V8 engine powering a Ford Pinto

    I’ve had an iPad Pro 11” from day of release. It’s my main computer and I love it to bits.

    But, how many versions of iOS/iPadOS have been released where, on this top of the line, world’s best, Pro tablet, the Files app would not tell me the size of a folder’s contents? Where it provided the people, places, search, and most cropping and filter options from the Mac version of Photos, but inexplicably would not let me alter the location or date of a photo? Luckily I had a Mac to let me Mac those adjustments…

    People have been mentioning the gap between the iPad Pro’s potential and reality for some time and iPadOS 15 doesn’t look to shrink that gap by very much. I don’t want to run Logic Pro on here, I just want some practical and sensible improvements to the OS to let it fly higher.
