Interesting to note that the article doesn’t mention if Advanced Data Protection was enabled or not. Of course we have no way of checking if what they say is true or not since nothing’s open source, but I’d have more faith in their system with end to end encryption
I basically use macOS like Linux. I don’t use a single default app or Apple service (apart from Photos but I want to switch to Immich eventually) and over the years I’ve customised it so much that most people are confused when they try to use my computer lol
IIRC there’s an accessibility option that makes things less dark, so probably less scary. Doubt you’ll get back to the game after so long (even though it’s really worth it!), but it might help other people
I’ve repaired and tinkered with many phones and computers, I thought I’d be able to change the battery in my third gen iPod nano… But I completely messed it up because of the soldering. It ain’t easy :(
As much as I dislike Tesla, this isn’t necessarily good news. These Chinese brands are awful too, just in other ways.
Pretty good resource on it if you care: https://youtu.be/945BQ72RGyQ
Because you’re on Lemmy, anything that isn’t Linux is bad
Part of me wishes I was a Windows user because Microsoft gives so many good reasons to switch to Linux. But even though I don’t use any of Apple’s services, I’m just too well off on macOS, got no real reason to switch.
Not saying macOS will never suck, and it already does in some aspects, but its suck factor has been pretty stable for the last 15 years I’ve been using it.
Yeah, but i haven’t heard of people getting a reply from them in years
Considering the current state of « Apple Intelligence », this seems unlikely 🗿
I remember a while back, you could send emails to some high ups at Apple like Craig Federighi or Phill Schiller, and if you got lucky you’d get an actual reply from them. Even Steve Jobs back in the day.
It wasn’t much, but this kind of thing made megacorps feel a lot more « human » than they do today
As far as I know recent iPhones all have parts pairing, so you can’t swap parts between phones unless Apple authorises it. Absolutely sucks ass for repairability, but it’s supposed to help in the context of stolen phones.
I guess thieves found a way to circumvent it, otherwise it wouldn’t make sense
None of us… on Lemmy. Normal people don’t care, they’ll be making as much money as ever.
*anyone on Lemmy
Unsurprising, but still disappointing
I saw earlier that it was surprisingly well reviewed by journalists, so maybe there’s hope of it being better than the 3 once they fix the performance issues. I’ll probably be playing it once it gets under 10€ in a few years
Somehow they managed to make it heavier, 206g for the 17 Pro vs 199g for the 16 Pro. They’ve been hovering at around 200g for a while though, so as ugly as that phone is, it probably isn’t noticeably heavier than like a 13 Pro
That « optical quality telephoto » garbage makes my blood boil
Yeah it’s been this way for a while, even my 13 mini has one
For every person who likes small phones, there’s a thousand people who’d rather buy a 7" behemoth. I’ll be using my 13 mini for as many years as I can, but we’ve lost the battle :(
At least the Air is probably more comfortable to use than the others
The fact that this is just a handheld iPhone video and not a professionally shot thing makes it so much more surreal
