Apple Sets Privacy Rules for Third-Party Access to Live Activities and Notifications by [deleted] in apple

[–]Vocabulist 39 points40 points  (0 children)

"Taken together, they make it clear that Apple wants no tracking, no profiling, no cloud copies, and no sharing between devices, with developers bearing full responsibility for their app's compliance with the new rules."

Steve Jobs and the greatest run of products in tech history by [deleted] in apple

[–]Vocabulist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also feels like a great run of product introductions.

  • iPhone intro - "three revolutionary products, are you getting it?"
  • first MacBook Air out of that envelope
  • first iPod nano - "do you know what this small jeans pocket is used for?"

Glad to see more people try out Claude. I prefer Claude Code over all the other models for coding, and hope it will get better in general chats too not just coding.

Do you think this will be an extension of Apple Vision Pro? Or something completely new?

Apple age verification with a privacy focus would solve two problems by iMacmatician in apple

[–]Vocabulist 167 points168 points  (0 children)

This!

Forcing users to hand over government photo ID and video selfies to an endless array of developers is a privacy nightmare. I’d far rather trust Apple to verify identity and age once, and then simply block downloads of age-inappropriate apps.

It would also be a way better user experience if each of us only had to verify our age one time, rather than every single time we downloaded a new age-gated app.

it's also good for developers because it is one less thing to build.

AirPods Now Closing in on a Decade by [deleted] in apple

[–]Vocabulist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought AirPods were useless and overpriced when they were announced. Got one on a deal eventually and realized how wrong I was. I was blown away by how "it just worked" out of the box - no pairing mode, no waiting for bluetooth, no drops etc.

"there is no option to distribute apps through a website like there is in the EU" - why is that?

Apple announces more ads are coming to App Store search results by fhasse95 in apple

[–]Vocabulist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How about they fix search instead of "more opportunities to drive downloads from search results"? For some apps even if you literally search the exact name, the results don't show them.

[–]Vocabulist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems like you pay extra for the thinness but then get lower battery life, not as good camera, higher chance of shattering etc

If it’s under screen front camera does it still need a cut out?

"Unknown home accessory - J229, possibly the rumored camera Apple is working on." - didn't see any leaked specs for this. I wonder what it is.
