  • Apple confirms iOS 12's 'USB Restricted Mode' will thwart police, criminal access [u]

    So if you play music though your Belkin adapter for an hour with the screen off, it stops suddenly forcing you to unlock your iPhone possibly while driving? That's not a good thing. This needs to be optional. Most of us don't really care if the police look at the crap on our iPhones.
    All they have to do is allow that device even after an hour as it was plugged in BEFORE the phone locked.  Anything new plugged in subsequently to the phone locking would be blocked until the phone is unlocked.

    ...  iPhone users stickiness is better than the competition According to our survey, approx. 72% of iPhone users intend to stick to Apple with their next upgrade, compared to 54% for Samsung, 55% for Huawei, 36% for Xiaomi, and 24% for LG.
    I would like to see how many intend to switch from iOS to Android and visa versa.    If 54% will stay with Samsung, do they intend to move to iOS or stick with Android and get an LG for example.  It seems obvious that the 28% of iPhone users intend to move to Android but what about the other way around?
    While questionnaire didn't ask that per se, there appear to be at least a few relevant responses.
    Page 16, chart 28: Which Brand of Smartphone Do You Think You Will Get Next? Apple was tops in all four countries, roughly 34% in China, 26% in India; 37% in UK; 40% in US.

    Chart 13, page 9: Which of These Would Get You To Switch to the Latest iPhone? [lists such things as bigger screen, better camera, lower price, OS update, AR, etc]
    In China, 35% said "None, would NOT consider switching"; in India, 22%; in UK, 42%; in US 40%. To me, at least in hasty interpretation, that suggests the level of die hard Android fans. Encouraging that China and especially India appear less set than US and UK.
    Hmm...did it reference their starting point?  i.e. what they currently have when they gave that response?  The Tech media likes to pit iOS against Android as a whole and not manufacturers in general.

    9V/2A would align with the previous rumors that Apple would be including an 18W USB-C Charger with the next phone.
    I use my iPad charger and my 8+ will go from 1% to nearly full charged in a hour or so.  That works for me.

    ... Our survey implies older generations of the iPhone, particularly the iPhone 6 and 7 are still widely in use across markets. With approx. half of respondents who are iPhone users intending on upgrading in 2018 and most intending on sticking with the iPhone, we see room for pent-up growth over the short term. ...
    The rather large company I work at has deals with the carriers where they have special pricing for the previous models of phone. Android is available for use but is a small percentage of phones used in the environment.  It is mostly iPhone in use.  BYOD is also used widely by many people who want their email on their personal phones and tablets.

    The iPhone 8 will not be available until after the "9"? is released.  If other companies do that, it would drive sales of the 6s and 7 which might be what they were seeing in their survey.
