Don't even try using an old iPad Pro magnetic stand with the new models because they won't work, the iPad will slip, and so you could even damage your new device.
Gotta hand it to #Apple#findMy. Lost my AirPods in a giant ball pit and was able to locate exactly where to dig it look for them. Was shockingly accurate.
#Apple#AppleNews#Media#Journalism#News: "At the moment, Apple News is as good a partner in Big Tech as many media companies are going to find. Almost every publisher Semafor spoke to said that Apple paid well and directed eyeballs to their longer, more ambitious work. While some of the articles surfaced by the app are algorithmic and based on user behavior, the company also employs a team of journalists — led by editor-in-chief Lauren Kern, a well-regarded former New York Magazine editor — who seem to prioritize putting quality journalism front-and-center on the app. As a reader, it’s a nice product, and in many cases a better reading experience than publishers’ own homepages and apps.
But the partnership also raises some of the questions publishers avoided during the peak social media era. It incentivizes users to subscribe to Apple News+ rather than to publications directly, likely cannibalizing some potential revenue. It’s driving editorial decisions, meaning publishers are once again changing their content strategy to placate a platform. And of course the company could wake up one day and decide, like Facebook, that it no longer really wants to be in the news business, leaving news publishers stranded."
Happiness. I can now reveal that I was stupid and left my iPad in the bus from Toledo to Madrid two weeks ago (on a Saturday). I followed it in Find My and saw that it returned to Toledo and stayed there. I went there the following day, but of course the ticket office wasn’t open on Sundays and even if I saw it was some metres away I couldn’t get it... I eventually got a reply from #Alsa that they do have it there and I can fetch it on a weekday so here I am now and yes I got it back. Whew.
If #iOS was really clever, it would notice that you are in bus/train/etc and ping your nearby devices/#AirTag items frequently once you stop, to be able to tell you right away “dude, you left your iPad/hat/bag in the bus, go back now and fetch it”.
It did tell me now that I left the iPad, but too late. We were already hundreds of metres away, in the metro station, and it took like five minutes to go back and by that time the bus had already left.
We cancelled Prime awhile ago, so yesterday we decided to get Apple TV+ as we've never had it.
I am VERY aware of all the shows to watch- I've been making a list for months from friends, reviews, recommendations.
My question is, what good #movies are #streaming? I have no clue & would like to NOT scroll for a zillion years to see what they have. #Horror a plus, but all recs appreciated.
Ja, natürlich kann man von einem #FotoBug sprechen, den #Apple schnellst möglich schließen wird, um seine Kunden vor dem #GAU zu bewahren. ...
Was für ein Käse.
Apple hat wieder einmal bewiesen, dass es sich weder an die eigenen Worte hält (30 Tage Speicherdauer), noch an Gesetze. Apple ist erwiesenermaßen eine #Datenkrake, die einmal erhobene Daten wie einen #Schatz hütet und den Kunden über die Existenz belügt. Das ist ein offener #Vertrauensbruch.
In this week’s Disconnect Roundup: Apple’s new products are flops, so it’s going back to what Tim Cook knows best: raising prices to get more out of existing customers.
Plus, recommended reads, labor updates, and other news you might have missed.
"Just like Apple, Meta is behaving as though the #DMA permits it to carry on its worst behavior, with minor cosmetic tweaks around the margins. Just like #Apple, #Meta is daring the #EU to enforce its democratically enacted laws, implicitly promising to pit its billions against #Europe’s institutions to preserve its right to spy on us."
I owe you guys more updates about the Gjovik v #Apple hearing on Thursday, but I've been so overwhelmed with emotion the last couple days; I've been kinda speechless.
I'll probably have to write a blog post about it to properly convey what it feels like to do something impossible like this & actually have it go in your favor.
I'll also share the audio recording when its posted (prob next week). The formal decision is prob 2-3 weeks out still, but I'm feeling good.
@cabel is a terrific writer, lays this out like a prosecutor would, with links and pictures that bring the story to life and bring home the guilty verdict.
I have updated my iPad Pro to the 13-inch 512GB iPad Pro. I have compiled a bunch of information as well as my thoughts on the upgrade from my old 5th generation 12.9-inch iPad Pro.
Fix your shitty autocorrect! There’s no such thing at “there’re” so quit putting it into my content.
And how come I get a word suggestion as I type, I click on it, and an entirely different word is inserted that wasn’t even one of the options offered - sometimes not even an English word?!
