  • Foxconn's iPhone output could drop by 30% over COVID outbreak

    That's what happens when you decide it's 'cheaper' to build products in a fascist state.

  • Apple undecided about iPhone SE 4's display size and technology

    An easy win for consumers and Apple would be to repurpose the iPhone 13 mini chassis for the next gen SE. 
    No, that would be a major loss for consumers.  What they should do is repurpose the iPhone 6s+ chassis for the next gen SE.  A larger size, Touch ID, an actual bezel instead of that stupid notch, and a headphone jack would be a major step forward.

    I'd buy one.

    The odds of 2 apple products exploding for 1 person seems highly unlikely. Would be really interested to see if he was using 3rd party chargers. 
    I only see one Apple product with a faulty battery mentioned per owner. Also, how would a 3rd-party inductive Watch charger result in a faulty battery? I'm not saying it can't happen, but I'd expect the charging pad to overheat long before the Watch if there was an issue.

    Pretty sure investigation will find this to be fake
    Why assume they are lying?
    Assuming a 3rd party charger is a problem is standard operating procedure for fanbois, because of course Apple can do nothing wrong, Apple is always perfect.

    Same with the claims that someone who had an Apple device fail is lying.

    It's disgusting to see people assume that ANY for-profit corporation is perfect, or even good.

  • iPhone must use USB-C by 2024, says EU law

    Took them long enough.

    Apple should have ditched the idiotic Lightning connector years ago.  It's sad that it's taking the EU forcing them to finally take care of the problem.

  • Facebook sued over illegal collection of user data

    So what? Lawyers will get a few million and Meta will go on as usual. User data is their life’s blood. Without it they go belly up. Nothing is free and advertising is what we pay. Not saying it’s okay but this is just how it is. Government can do only so much without taking over the economy and we don’t want that.

    Until we get real data protection laws with criminal penalties, class action suits are the best we've got.

    And government could do a much better job of regulating the economy than they're doing.  Lots of us DO want that.
