  • iPhone 11 Pro found to collect location data against user settings

    So if I kill all my apps and restart my phone and the icon shows up what service is using it? I’m not angry at Apple just want to know what’s changed and  why. 
    To the best of my knowledge, it sets the clock.

    It's a bit like when setting up an iPhone as new, and at the first couple of questions one doesn't okay the Location feature. After finishing setup, the clock is set to Pacific (or something), no matter in what timezone the iPhone actually is. I believe that the clock checks with GPS after a reboot. Of course, it can be other things as well...

    Wasn't this also the case with iPhone OS4? Yeah, where Steve made a public excuse.

    ...history repeating itself...

  • iPhone 11 Ultra Wideband could be at core of Apple Car keyless entry

    I hope it performs better than Tesla's implementation of the phone being your car key. My friend has a Tesla 3 and his most hated thing about the car is how unreliable getting in and out of his car has been when using the phone, especially if he is on a current phone call. He often times has to hang up, then the car will unlock, then he can call the person back. The solution to this is to include a keyfob for those who want to use it, but Tesla sells that separately on the Model 3.
    What a bunch of cheapskates Tesla is! Buy their car and not get a FOB. Good grief, what were they thinking.

  • Apple wins partial reprieve over VirnetX $503 million patent case

    This entire case has been a sham.  VirnetX is simply a patent troll.  I'm glad VirnetX got slapped in the face and has to go through it all again and burn through more cash.  In the end I hope Apple prevails completely and sends a message to other patent trolls that attempt to pull a stunt like this again in the future.

    Other companies would have settled, but I'm glad Apple is sticking to their guns.
    I don't think anyone agrees to companies using IP they don't own. Including when it's Apple. Pity you (and 5x like) think it's ok for Apple to steal, except when the competition does so.

  • Russia to ban iPhones and all devices not pre-loaded with local apps

    "When we buy complex electronic devices, they already have individual applications, mostly Western ones, pre-installed on them," co-author of Russia's legislation, Oleg Nikolayev said."

    Good thing the iPhone is not a complex device then.

    "Naturally, when a person sees them," he continued, "they might think that there are no domestic alternatives available."

    Naturally, Russians, unlike you sir, don't have a single-digit IQ. They will look for alternatives if they feel the need to do so.

    What a diptwat.
