    Got an iPhone SE 64GB Space Grey. 
    Ordered the same for my wife to replace her 5s. Heck I might even just swap it into her case and wait for her to notice. That could be a bit of fun.

    I wonder if future Mac desktops and laptops will come with Touch ID and the ability to use it for Apple Pay transactions.


    I'm firm supporter of Macs not being equipped with Touch ID, but rather using Continuity/Handoff/NFC communication to receive Touch ID authentication on your iPhone. Touch ID is a pain in the ass to setup and maintain across multiple devices. It best that you set it up once, in one place on your iPhone, and that data is stored in 1 secure enclave.
    When your Mac requires Touch ID input, your iPhone screen wakes up and you place your finger on the sensor. Done. No need to blemish Mac design with Touch ID sensors, no need to build into insecure/vulnerable accessories like the bluetooth keyboard/trackpad/mouse, no need for any of it. Just simple and secure near field connection to iPhone.

    And before you even bring it up...I don't care about the Mac user who doesn't own and iPhone not being able to use Touch ID. Not even a little.

    Haven't seen this myself, but if such a burg is pervasive, how was this not discovered during testing?

  • 'NAND mirroring' could let FBI break into iPhone without Apple's help, researchers say

    Can't wait to hear about the fake data they extract from the phone and the fake terror plot they are able to foil as a result.

    Lies, lies, bullshit, and more lies.

  • Piper Jaffray sees virtual reality partnerships boosting Apple's iPhone business near-term

    We've been hearing about Augmented Reality features since the day App developers were granted access to the iPhone camera.
    To date, nothing significant has been done with this beyond some silly gimmick Apps and other POC.

    If Apple wants to do something cool, get into the Eye Wear business. I would buy my glasses from Apple, if they could connect to my iPhone the way Apple Watch does, and have modes that can be turned on or off that will show me Augmented Reality. Everything from street names, weather...and yes, even Ads.

    No one is going to walk around wearing some stupid goggles, but if Apple can make some stylish eyeglasses, I would be all over it. And they don't have to be just for people with prescription glasses. Plenty of people wear sunglasses outside.
