  • Don't get too excited about new iPhone trade-in bonuses from Apple

    StrangeDaysStrangeDays
    I’ve sold my iPhones on Ebay, and traded them in. I can say after my recent Ebay experiences of high fees it isn’t worth the slightly more dollars for the added work of maintaining the accessories and having to box and ship it. The Apple trade in is simpler and close enough to what I clear from Ebay.

  • New iOS & iPadOS update fixes reappearing photos bug

    This brings up another disturbing scenario with Apple. If the photo's that you deleted years ago reappear what else is Apple storing on their servers that you have deleted from Data Recovery in iCloud. ARE THEY REALLY DELETED or are they just hidden like files hidden on a mac with a ".".. THe question now is can Apple be believed when they say they can not read your FileVault Key that might be stored on their servers and that in Systems Setting in Sonoma and is Advance System Protection, protection at all!

    If photos are reappearing years after you deleted them, this 17.5 bug only exposed the fact that Apple was somehow retaining the deleted photos. This 17.5.1 update only re-hides that egregious violation of privacy.  Tim Cook bad!
    Read the article. The bug appears to involve a corrupted local database, which is then insufficiently deleting the images. It isn’t about secret Apple policies to retain cloud images.

  • No, Apple is not going to delete the Clown emoji from the iPhone

    To be fair, Apple does have a history of modifying or pushing for the removal of emoji for quasi-political reasons in the past.  It's not that unreasonable to think they might take similar action again.
    Your own link for pushing for removal said both Apple and Microsoft recommended against adding a rifle glyph, and the rest of the standard body agreed unanimously. Nice try tho.

    Having a different opinion is not hate. Lefties are the ones that can't handle a discussion.
    When that opinion is denying the civil rights of others because of what a bronze age book said, it absolutely is.

  • New Apple aluminum Magic Keyboard introduces backlit keys & function bar

    I feel very confused about the title. It's not an aluminum keyboard. It has an aluminum palm rest and hinge. The title also says "introduces backlit keys" when the original Magic Keyboard also has backlit keys. As far as I can tell, the only things that seem to be different are the aluminum palm rest, function bar, and larger trackpad. I'll have to wait and see when I get it, but I don't think it's substantially different. 
    I have the original and it does not have backlit keys
