If it ain't broke don't fi it or something like that.

So if an offender turns off iCloud then this move will absolutely be useless??

No on-device photo scanning unless iCloud Photos is enabled. Isn't funny when you get the most important aspect wrong?

How would that help catch them if they can simply flip the switch?

They never claimed that this would help "catch them" if they are not using iCloud Photos.

Moving it on device will show 0 improvement to the original goal, while opening a door that quite frankly I never expected Apple to be the one to open (I would have bet on Microsoft).

The CSAM scan is only for photos that are to be uploaded to iCloud Photos. Turning off iCloud Photos will disable this.

Simply turning off iCloud Photos will ensure that photos on your iPhone are never scanned. Why are you trying to make this thing about photos stored on-device? Photos in iCloud have always been available to Apple through iCloud backups. If you are concerned about privacy, turn it off.

"And it does so while providing significant privacy benefits over existing techniques since Apple only learns about users’ photos if they have a collection of known CSAM in their iCloud Photos account."

How ridiculous is that!

Not as ridiculous as being well aware of the limitations of iPhones wrt to installing applications outside of App Store and still buying one. People should vote with their wallets. Me personally I do not mind the limitations, but if you do - don't buy it.

Probably not, but if your are doing some heavy work the battery will last significantly longer.

that's likely part of why Safari is woefully broken and outdated compared to Chrome and Firefox.

How?

You know you can opt in and out of these features right? The whole point is to let the users pick themselves...

It does let you to opt-out.

Especially since the feature to alert users of the possible privacy invasion outlined here, seems to not yet be working as advertised.

The AirTag was not moving, hence the lack of notifications. Otherwise you'd get a ton of notification practically anywhere you approach an AirTag. It is working as intended.

Thats why they said that and not “What is on your iCloud, stays on your iCloud”

In that case they will get banned, because Facebook does not allow advertisers to let the targeted group know why they were targeted.

This is not even an option, since it will just make it easier to share files illegally and defeat the whole purpose of having an online movie store.

they likely have reallocated fab capacity they had planned for the successor to the M1 back to making the M1

Got any proof or something? This is a bold claim to make.

I use an iPhone, but in my opinion the stock Android looks and feels much better than the launchers that manufacturers put on. Especially the latest versions of Android look great.

Yeah, that's a shortcut for not having to say «Hey Siri» - not a dedicated button for starting Siri.

Draw a thin line of ice and it bounces of the water.

This is a step in the right direction from Apple. Now they only need to add a passwords section to iCloud.com.

So you're suggesting that carriers want to make more money? Interesting...

Its inherent fragility means that transmission boosting ‘cell’ antennae are generally required every 100–300 m—which is far more spatially dense than the transmission masts required for older 2G, 3G and 4G technology, using lower frequency waves

I can see that it's necessary to place 5G masts more densely in order to deliver the promised transmission rates and coverage but it seems like a bad solution to a greater problem. Assuming the trend continues one would need even more cells to deliver 6G, 7G etc. Are there no other ways of increasing the bandwidth without placing a mast at every city corner?

Yeah, it just doesn't make sense. When I blatantly ignore all of his tweets claiming Biden lost, he won the election and that massive election fraud took place, I just can't understand why they would ban him!

And we are not: Computer backups still exist, if you would like to do local backups. Privacy, most of the time, means less conveniency but it's still possible.

I can guarantee that this will never happen as the whole point of Apple products is the hardware and software working seamlessly together - for the most part anyway.

You're not guaranteed free speech by private corps, they're not a government after all.

I don't have a problem with any of those names but it's their policy which developers agree to before publishing apps.

You can easily notice the difference in a battery after it has gone through 500 charge cycles...

Of course, that's how batteries work. However, 500 charge cycles will likely not affect CPU performance but rather the battery life (which is why I said "enough for it to affect performance").

I had 1352 charge cycles and 75% battery health before replacing it and even though the battery life was shortened, I did not experience any sudden shut downs.

On the "we con you to buy a new $1000 phone every year by manipulating the CPU/battery so instead you paying $70 for a new battery, we skin you" they did pretty bad and I will never buy another Apple device for that.

Three things:

1. It takes more than a year, maybe 3-4, to degrade the battery enough for it to affect performance in any way.

2. There are many iPhone models at different price points, the cheapest one being $399.

3. If they didn't cap the performance they would be making headlines for "Older iPhones suddenly power off for no reason" instead.

Their only mistake was to not communicate good enough to the users that performance would return back to normal after a battery replacement.
