It's a pretty tiny fine (0.04% of Apple's yearly revenue) for a pretty major offense: quietly slowing down old phones without telling customers that they could replace the battery to make it fast again. We can have a conversation

As a user, you don’t have to use it. As a developer, you kind of have to just accept users taking back their own privacy and work around it.

People almost never deliberately use end-to-end encryption. They use it by accident when centralized services they already use like WhatsApp and iMessage implement it.

This doesn’t explain why people are using either iPad Pro or Wacom + Photoshop but eschewing Surface + Photoshop.

Not to be that guy but you can get a used iPhone SE for $75, and it should last you a couple years for testing purposes.

Generally, the first amendment restricts the ability to enact laws banning certain types of ads over other ads, but not laws banning all ads from certain areas. For example, four states — Vermont, Alaska, Hawaii, and Maine — have banned

To me it actually seems that the 16" keyboard is a brand new keyboard, that has never been in any laptop or external keyboard. But it's derived from the external Magic Keyboard and shares the marketing name. It has 1mmb of key tra

Well the tech specs page is up: https://www.apple.com/macbook-pro-16/specs/ 4 USB-C ports and a headphone jack. Same as before.

What type of ports are you using that require USB-A on the laptop end? Pretty much every port I know of has a USB-C cable for it, no dongle necessary. Since 2016 I've slowly gotten USB-C-to-Lightning, USB-C-to-micro USB, USB-C-to-HDMI

Last year, I created a website called iOS Ref.[1] After it took off in the iOS dev community, I realized just how much interest there was in clutter-free reference sites in the iOS development world. At the same time, I was switching betwee

Officially it has the same battery life. Unofficially there are mixed reports, but I think it's just too early to tell. It's worth noting that the S5 40mm model has a new battery design that has 10% more capacity than the S4 40mm

You can turn off iCloud sync for your Health data, but even if you keep it on, it's encrypted end-to-end across all your devices, which is nice.[1] (Some caveats apply.) 1: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202303

Strongly disagree with the "but worse" characteristic. As soon as you learn what "??" does, it's actually an improvement in readability in many cases. For example: nameLabel.text = user?.name ?? "Guest&quot
