National emergency alert test will affect all U.S. iPhones on Wednesday
blurpbleepbloop said:I’m not quite sure what these tests accomplish- since the alerts are passive it’s not like people are going to phone in and say “ hey, I didn’t get the alert”. And seriously, if there is an emergency where you need to alert everyone ion the country that something bad is happening or is about to happen, then reading about it probably not going to help much.The only conceivable purpose for these is to tell everybody "Ruzzia just launched" - and I think most of us would rather not know.Nothing else affects the entire country at once. -

Instagram being blamed for iPhone 15 overheating issues

Apple's 'Mother Nature' sketch was a complete dud, and didn't belong in the iPhone 15 even...
richfbrown13 said:I totally agree with the author on this. I was listening to hear about the new products, not to get an overly long virtue signaling skit, especially since this was also talked about in conjunction with almost all the products. It's good that Apple is environmentally conscious, but this was way too much.I have no problem with virtue signaling, particularly when it's actually justified. And some of Apple's is - though they deserve HUGE black marks for repairability. Recycling is the FINAL step, not the first, in the reduce - reuse - recycle triangle. Apple's trade-in program hurts the secondary market, as do Apple's user-hostile repair policies.The skit was just cringe. Absolutely terribly written, and a stupid concept. The information could have been presented in an informative way, without the ridiculous "mother nature" character. And the writer is a dirty scab.
