  • Apple may return iOS to its original 'iPhone OS' name at WWDC

    Perhaps the OS for their AR/VR glasses could be called eyeOS...

  • Apple says it wasn't told about UK contact tracing app issues, plans

    mr lizardmr lizard
    Surprise surprise, once again the UK government tries to go it alone and messes up. Then it claims it’s cooperating with others and those others claim otherwise. Just like how they claimed they’ve been consulting with the devolved nations during Brexit (they haven’t) and how they consulted with healthcare providers before suddenly announcing dental surgeries were to reopen (they hadn’t) and how they’d agreed the timetable for schools to reopen in England with local education boards (they hadn’t). 

    This app has been a disaster from the start. Thankfully we have no use for it in Scotland. This is England’s mess.

  • Jony Ive delayed Apple's AR headset project over design concerns

    mr lizardmr lizard
    AppleInsider said:
    Apple was reportedly many years into developing an augmented- and virtual reality headset when Jony Ive objected to its design.

    The idea that a major big-budget product development had been going for years only for Ive to suddenly voice an opinion on it is ridiculous. He was the *Chief* Design Officer. He’d have seen how it was developing since inception. 

    Apple prototypes different designs all the time. It’s far more likely that his input swayed Apple to go down a particular direction for sure. But there’s no chance he just popped up one day and suddenly everything changed course.

  • Apple sued for allowing loot boxes in App Store

    mr lizardmr lizard
    “Named plaintiff Rebecca Taylor claims her son, "C.T.," spent at least $25 in iTunes gift cards and his parents' money on loot boxes for Supercell's Brawl Stars”

    Sounds like Rebecca Taylor allowed her son to gamble using her money by choosing to not make use of the parental restrictions available on the device. 

    In some countries allowing your children to gamble and giving them the money to do so is illegal. Even where it isn’t illegal, it’s morally questionable.
