  • App Store review ridiculousness: Apple rejects AppleInsider's iPhone X app update because ...

    I'm in favor of asking for details about the rejection from Apple, as long as it is done respectfully. I personally trust AppleInsider if it is a first-hand account, but not so much what other people may state, which I would consider rumors until proven. There are plenty of cases of developers whining about their unfair rejections, and when you dig a little, you realize they are in the wrong and there are two sides to every story. Definitely NOT the case here, but in this age of fake news and partisan exaggerations in everything you read, it's a good thing to ask questions and do some research. Nowadays I find that anything even remotely political that is published by the major national news sources is usually riddled with factual errors and opinions stated as facts. So, ask questions, but be kind : ) Good luck AI, this article was written in a way that should not overly offend Apple and I hope they take care of it today.

  • Police arrest gang who stole iPhones from Madrid Apple store by chewing security cables

    Apple asked all the dentists in the area if there were any patients with metal wires in their teeth, or unusual wear on the enamel. It was just a matter of time.

  • A month with Apple's AirPods: a long-term video review

    I would love to get a pair of these to pair with my Apple Watch when going on runs!
    Just did this yesterday. Played music stored on the watch while tracking my workout on the watch's workout app. Worked great, a truly mobile experience, and not carrying my phone with me was much less hassle. I'm always afraid they will pop out while running but for me they stay in fine. As people say, it's easy to forget you are wearing them. I'm afraid one will fall out and I won't even notice, but I have to remember the music will stop if that happens, so I would notice.

  • Apple SSD in Touch Bar-equipped MacBook Pro fixed to motherboard, not removable

    This is devastatingly bad news -- for the few people who upgrade their primary storage regularly, and keep their Pro laptops for 5+ years. And those are the people loudly complaining right now. For the rest of the Pro users who can afford to get the storage they need up front, and can't afford to spend half a day swapping out a SSD and transferring a zillion files and OS in order to save a couple hundred bucks, it really doesn't matter. I have NEVER upgraded my laptop's primary, I use external drives for the things that suck storage like photos/video, and I upgrade my laptop every 3 years because it is my primary means of earning income and my employer usually pays for it anyway. 

    I don't care about the soldered on SSD...

  • MacKeeper threatens 14-year-old YouTube video maker with harassment suit

    I for one would contribute money to defend this lawsuit by MacKeeper. I say we all post videos to YouTube named MacKeeper Sucks.
