You're thinking of the way web content blocking works. This is a SMS filter, which is given actual access to the message contents. However, the extension isn't allowed to make network requests while it's doing that, and has t

You can give it access to your contacts so it'll exclude them, or whitelist specific patterns if you want.

Not that I know of? The privacy statement on that App Store page says it collects usage data and diagnostics, and that neither are linked to you personally.

I've been using Number Shield since long before Begone existed, so I can't really comment on their comparison. ...though the creator of Begone will hopefully realize that every entry in its version-history starting with that same

So, for what it's worth, I have an Apple Watch series 7 and find its battery life to be sufficient to wear (basically) 24/7. I have to charge it, but that's a matter of putting it on the fast-charger while I'm in the sho

It's tricky even just pulling out key episodes from Season 1, because a lot of what you need is the character work. You can get all the raw plot elements that come up again later, but if you're not somewhat invested in characters

There was similar speculation last year when the A15 came out[1], because Apple didn't talk about performance (at all, I think?) in the iPhone 13 announcement. Then the A15 kept up their regular rate of improvement. So it's plausi

Camera sensor specs got a significant bump if you're looking at the 14 Pro. The 13 is a 12MP sensor, the 14 Pro is a 48MP sensor. Comparing the base 13 and 14 the only real hardware difference is that the selfie camera picked up autofo

There's a useful iOS app called Number Shield that lets you block all calls coming from numbers that match the first six digits of your phone number. That's the most common spoofing technique, so it really does help. E.g. if your

I suspect they are eating Garmin's lunch, although (to stretch the metaphor) we have to define the ingredients of said lunch. Let's stipulate that there's fairly few people who outright need the Fenix's 18 days of ba

It looks like the costs to Apple are: 1. Whatever fees the satellite network charges them. 2. The cost to maintain the call centers they're routing your contact with the nearby emergency services through. (They say they'll put you

I don't find that doing work when only my phone is accessible is a problem (though I'm sure that varies wildly based on your job / workplace-culture). However, I do find that most of the passwords I have saved are random app-

In a way this is a nice example of why 1Password or BitWarden are doing well. This might work out okay for a technical person, but the average user isn't going to look at the KeyPass downloads page [1] and feel confident about what t

The normal argument I see against this is that it's easier to mine nearby asteroids. You can reach them without needing to deal with another gravity well -- both landing your mining equipment and launching the mined material again are

They actually have that one covered with Swift Playgrounds: https://www.apple.com/swift/playgrounds/ You can, in fact, write an app and publish it to Apple's App Store with it, all from an iPad. I have no ide

Even Apple's walled garden does a so-so job of stopping scams. Given their app review process, they've got rather less of an excuse -- you'd really think they'd give close scrutiny to any app charging above-the-norm subs

It's worth noting that the parent said "average male human", and you shifted that bar quite a lot by saying "over 6' tall". In the USA, the average male height is about 5'9". If you're 6'+ y
