More than 10% of iPhone owners eyeing a folding phone – survey

Price alone is likely to make the iPhone Fold (or iPhone Ultra) a somewhat niche product in Apple’s lineup, but a new survey suggests there could be more interest than one might expect. While the majority of US smartpho…

#Apple lies. I'm not surprised *that* this is true; I'm surprised *how* this manifests.

I was looking for a #game in the #AppStore. Not a specific game, but some kind of puzzle game that has reasonable #privacy practices.

Apple is *all* about how their #App Store has only curated #apps.

There are up to three parts to this standard disclosure. This particular set has the following:

- #Data shared across all the apps on your device that is used to #track you

- Data linked to your #identity that the app is not specifically sharing

- Data that is *not* linked to you with no indication whether or how it's shared

This particular set lists #Identifiers in both the "Data Used to Track You" section and the "Data Not Linked to You" and these are mutually exclusive.

Same for #UsageData that is "Data Linked to your Identity" and "Data Not Linked to You"

wtaf?

There's some kinda #fraud happening here, though I can't say I'm shocked. #Logic should prevent this listing from even being possible. You cannot track me with something not linked to my identity. Likewise, something cannot be both linked to my identity and *not* linked to my identity. I'm not the brightest cookie in the drawer, but this isn't rocket surgery, either.

And no, I didn't install that game.

Hi everyone. Quick question for those using the built-in Apple Mail app with VoiceOver. Is anyone else having issues selecting text inside an email? I can’t seem to get any text to select at all. Not sure if this is a VoiceOver bug, a Mail issue, or if I’m missing something. Any tips would be appreciated.
#Accessibility #VoiceOver #Apple #AppleMail #Blind #ScreenReader #MacOS #A11y

@kotaro @tshirtman I mean, it depends on what you want to do with it.

- If you're fine with #macOS and #Apple's ecosystem and don't mind the extreme markups to get more RAM & SSD storage [if and when you need it, which is dependant on what you do!] then it may just be the device for you.

- If I have to choose between macOS and #Windows, I'd definitely choose Apple's platform simply because it doesn't get in my way!

But that depends on your workflows, applications and support.

- so if you are entrenched in Apple's ecosystem then that's not really a question.

- Even if you are a #developer then in many cases that's propably the prime platform you have on your desk, unless you need things you can't get on Apple hardware or not at a reasonable price point.

Certainly everyone I know would choose Apple over #Microsoft, and many would rather quit than deal with #Windows11...

- Simply because the latter one is just pain and frustration!

@cstross @ela Yeah, it is fast, but at which cost?

- And is this merely done to shaft #consumers and act as #AntiRepairDesign?

To me it's the latter: There is neither "legitimate reason" nor sufficient advantages to warrant this.

- Otherwise we'd have #HBM for years on everything!

It's just a big-ass middle-finger by #Apple (and those that copy Apple's #AntiRepair - #Design) to do this and turn what could've been a 5' #DIY repair into a spechalist soldering job requiring #JessaJones / #dosdude1 / #LouisRossmann - skill levels and tooling to even attempt it, driving up costs.

- Worse than #SolderedDownRAM are only #SolderedDownSSD|s because those not only can but WILL INEVITABLY FAIL OVER TIME due to useage even if they ain't designed in a way that the laptop suicides them with 12V…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYG4VMqatEY
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xaxmQRr9zWI

@mxk @cstross @ela I disagree to a huge extent, as #arm64 is inherently more efficient and the gains on paper and benchmarks are not even remotely as relevant to daily use and long-term sustainability, rather #PowerSavings are more relevant and #LPDDR5 exists, which eats less than #LPDDR5X / #GDDR7X / #DDR5 RAM.

- That's literally why you don't see #HBM even on Gaming & Workstation GPUs anymore where the low latency & high bandwith would justify the costs.

- Plus GPUs for the most part come with one VRAM config. Not a dozen different ones...

The integration density of soldered-down RAM may be justified in phones and tiny embedded devices where there's no may to put a SODIMM inside the chassis - not even at the edge of the mainboard.

- But it's not as if the #iPad or any #MacBook were as tightly packed as an #iPod and certainly the #MacbookNeo and Desktop-#Macs don't have to deal with fitting a pants-pocket compatible form factor and having no meaningful way to dissipate heat at an extremely low delta-t° of 22° or less (at 20°C ambient and a maximum 42°C body contact temperature, not accounting for human body heat!)…

It's a DELIBERATE CHOICE by #Apple to prioritize #AntiRepairDesign.

Times of India | Don’t pass final order against Apple till July 15: HC to CCI

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

The Delhi High Court has directed the Competition Commission of India (CCI) not to issue any final order in the antitrust case against Apple until July 15, although the regulator may continue to handle the proceedings in the interim. The bench, led by Chief Justice D K Upadhyaya and Justice Tejas Karia, made the clarification in response to Apple’s challenge to an amendment of the Competition Act, 2002, noting that withholding the final order prevents complications that could arise from an immediate appeal. CCI counsel suggested keeping the order in abeyance, and the court agreed that a final ruling should be postponed until the specified date.

Okay y'all, I have never experienced it this bad on the iPhone before, and I feel like I'm going crazy. So I use Braille because I'm one of those special blind people that won't just settle. When y'all find out how to make people normal, I want to go first thank you please. Anyway, I read my email on my phone. When I "pan right," go forward one display length, sometimes in the middle of what I'm reading, VoiceOver finds out amusing to pan back, either once or sometimes a few times depending on how far I am into reading the current item.

And I get it, I'm not newbie enough to think that Braille is anywhere near the top of Apple's things they care about, but my goodness this is really frustrating. So I turned off my phone and restarted it, and the same thing is happening. I feel like it didn't do this at all in iOS 26.4 or so. I'm using the Humanware NLS eReader. And yes Android does this too. I really hope it's not an issue with my Braille display.

BBC News | Big tech bets on new mascots in bid to seem more cuddly

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

Tech giants such as Microsoft and Apple are reviving cartoon mascots—Microsoft’s “Mico” for its Copilot AI and Apple’s “Little Finder Guy” for a new laptop—to make their brands feel more human, expressive and approachable, a strategy experts say can boost market share and customer connection. While other companies like Google, Mozilla, Reddit, Duolingo, and Penguin are also refreshing or creating mascots to personalize their services, scholars warn that the blend of AI and cute characters may feel “creepy” or manipulative, especially amid growing distrust of big‑tech firms. Nonetheless, research shows mascots can foster familiarity and long‑term brand affection, and early feedback indicates users appreciate the optional, customizable nature of characters like Mico.
