I can't help the majority, and I don't have any experience with IOS aside from ipads my kids have to use. There are plenty of things I find frustrating in IOS, chiefly the way they tie you into their ecosystem. You can't create child accounts (under 18), without an IOS device with an adult account. Itunes and web interfaces won't suffice. They can only be managed by another IOS device, so every child of mine's Ipad has an account claiming they are over 13. (School says I am the account owner so it should be my age, but I don't want the kids exposed to app behavior targeting adults). Secondly the fact that IOS can't be setup properly without some sort of payment method on file.

Android sucks too, but I know how to manage it. The settings are mostly there (but quit setting my location to scan wifi and cell towers assholes). I turn stuff off and keep only what I need enabled.

I won't let loose with both barrels, because you admitted that you had almost no knowledge of iOS.

I will counter that by admitting I have no kids; so therefore very limited knowledge of the specifics regarding iOS and kids.

HOWEVER, I DID find this in .5 seconds of Googling:

Perhaps, next time, you might try something like a simple Google search before you assume iOS simply "doesn't allow that".

His internet was out, so all he needed to do was download that link with his iphone, plug it into his macbook and transfer it over.

I'm not 100% sure Apple lets you do that. They do pretty trivally let you tether. But the iOS filesystem is pretty locked down.

told him to download and install VLC media player and he'd be good.

Your family member couldn't figure out how to download a free app from the app store? for their phone or click the orange button ? That does not seem like Apple's fault.

This went about the same way as the others - she has no clue how to copy a file on her Mac.

You copy a file via drag and drop, the same as literally every other GUI based OS.

These are people who often tout how Apple is superior to everything else, while at the same time cannot figure out how to do very basic things with their Apple products.

Most likely, they asked you for help, and you made it difficult because you hate apple products. Now, I'll say I don't use OSX voluntarily. And lots of things are slightly different and thus annoying. But when I do use it, it works just fine and in many ways like I'd expect.

Really, this is like the guy who told Visual Studio Code complaining it deleted all his files when he selected "delete unversioned files" Take some responsibility for using your tool.

They did give you the option to get a new battery.

For the really defective models they offered a free battery replacement. I got one for my iPhone 6s.

For models that were less affected they offered battery replacement for $29 instead of the normal $79.

You can still claim these battery replacement offers at this moment too.

https://www.apple.com/iphone-b...

Wow, you aren't very creative. How about option E - give the user a setting you can toggle. Maybe even popup a message letting the user know the battery has degraded and give them the chance to decide whether to turn it on

But wait, what was I thinking. Giving Apple users a choice? I guess that really isn't an option

Fuck off, Hater:

https://support.apple.com/en-u...

That has been there for nearly a YEAR. You might try READING before you make a fucking FOOL of yourself, moron.

They do have an ad platform everyone is forced to use.

Oh you mean this one?

The one that no developer was ever forced to use, and that was shut down - in part because Apple wouldn't give advertisers user data?

They do have an app that suggests what to watch.

You mean TV? That simply displays what is popular to download, based on downloads only and nothing sent to Apple from users?

The only time Apple uses data like that is ratings, where USERS CHOSE TO SEND RATINGS TO APPLE. Apple did not collect the data from the users.

You may have the last word since you know nothing about anything and reading your posts further would just be insane.

Silent push notifications can have any payload the app programmer needs to send. Any silent push notification campaign will result in the feedback service updating the list of invalid devices. They can't send a ping to your device, they need to go through apple APNS service to contact the device, which will cause the aforementioned feedback service to update the list. The same process happens with Android.

https://developer.apple.com/li...

Keep in mind, apple got law enforcement requests for data from 500,000 devices just last year, even without the ability to get into many of their devices. And would then have to keep track of, and keep secure the device keys for the 200 million iphones it sells each year.

The more access they have, you would then expect even more requests.

Then why did they fire their QA team?

Did they STAY "fired", or were they just replaced with a different Team?

Spoiler Alert: See below for the answer...

Considering the fact that Apple does their own Mechanical Product Testing, I would be VERY surprised if they didn't have an internal (human) Software QA Team, too.

In fact, these recent Job Postings make it pretty clear that Apple most CERTAINLY has an internal Software QA Team:

It does looks like Bloomberg's story isn't complete and relies on anonymous sources.

"Today’s bombshell Bloomberg story has the internet split: either the story is right, and reporters have uncovered one of the largest and jarring breaches of the U.S. tech industry by a foreign adversary or it’s not, and a lot of people screwed up." https://techcrunch.com/2018/10...

Links from the Techcrunch article:

"The October 8, 2018 issue of Bloomberg Businessweek incorrectly reports that Apple found “malicious chips” in servers on its network in 2015. As Apple has repeatedly explained to Bloomberg reporters and editors over the past 12 months, there is no truth to these claims." https://www.apple.com/newsroom...

"Steve Schmidt, Chief Information Security Officer at Amazon Web Services stated, "As we shared with Bloomberg BusinessWeek multiple times over the last couple months, at no time, past or present, have we ever found any issues relating to modified hardware or malicious chips in Supermicro motherboards in any Elemental or Amazon systems." https://www.prnewswire.com/new...

Sure. In their latest iOS security white paper, Apple specifies on page 12 that the keys used by biometric methods to unlock the device are wiped if any of the conditions in which a passcode is required occur, and page 10 says that a passcode is required after five unsuccessful attempts at unlocking the device.

If your device does not have biometrics enabled, that key will never be generated in the first place, so you’d always have to use your passcode to unlock a different key, which law enforcement in the US can not compel you to provide due to 5th Amendment protections.

closed-source

Sigh.

Just because Apple releases some open source software doesn't make iOS open source. It is not only closed source like Windows, but unlike Windows, Apple does everything it can to ban sideloading of software, or at least mass market distribution through that channel.

I'm a maker not a taker.

If you were really a maker you would seek great tools.

I've got no use for a spying

Apple does not spy. They do not need to as they sell hardware, not you.

, expensive

Even $1k for a powerful computing device you keep at your side for three+ years is not expensive.

closed-source

Sigh.

sealed battery

All batteries are sealed, or else there would be quite a mess.

Or did you mean you could remove the battery? Funny, you claim to be a "Maker" and yet you are afraid to open a phone case to change a battery manually (which you'd only have to do every 2-3 years)??

Or did you mean you want a second battery, again if you were actually a maker you'd appreciate the flexibility of carrying around an external battery that could recharge any number of different USB devices instead of some lame proprietary internal battery that you have to throw away with your phone.

crippled computing device with no keyboard.

In what way crippled? And rather than "no keyboard" is has an infinite number of keyboards.

If you really have to have a physical keyboard for a phone then why not get one? That's the nice thing about buying popular hardware, is that you can expand it almost in whatever way you like.

It's immensely frustrating and has been going on for years.

My 4s took better shots. Even when I look at them on my 6s+ display. I see people complaining about the 7 and 8 with the same issues, and I immediately can tell an iPhone photo when somebody sends it to me.

In anything other than bright daylight, the watercolor effect on the images due to compression are horrible.

I would hate to have to give up the iPhone because I'm sick of the photos of my children looking embarrassingly bad, but the privacy issues around Google are difficult to accept.

Loading up the raw photo apps is probably the right way to go, but it's such a pain in the butt.

I don't even think that it would be impractical to use without an external keyboard. Just look at screenshots from the iPhone version of Pythonista - that includes shots of editing code with the keyboard up, a UI editor, and showing graphical apps running. The fundamentals are all in place showing how you could use the same approach for any language, or system, and build working apps. Now the iPad simulator might be a might tiny on the iPhone but drawing apps have figured out lots of approaches to stuff like that.

I'd be interested to see how you solve the problems of 1. adapting an IDE to a 5 inch touch screen and 2. getting it approved by Apple

I don't see any issues at all with re-building something like Xcode to work on a very small screen. Much of what I do in Xcode is still typing code, and Swift Playgrounds on the iPad shows you can absolutely re-work the keyboard to make that very practical. Even using IB could almost just as well be done on a small screen as I zoom in and out of UI layout a lot anyway, and you could easily have some way to flip between UI layout and code related to elements you were focused on.

However why do you have to go that far? There are already many scripting language apps (like Python) for the iPhone. Or other ways to learn programming as well - why do you think Apple would have any issues? Hell if you rewrote Xcode for the iPhone Apple would probably buy you out (and not in the Simpsons sense).

Do I need a fucking laptop to do that?

No. https://support.apple.com/en-u...

They claim the same battery life as the previous model, which happily lasts 2-3 days.

Sure, in reserve mode, where you have to press the button to tell the time. In other words, it lasts 2-3 days when it is off. Apple's own guidelines say 45 minutes of app time on an 18 hour charge.

Up to 18 hours battery life? WTF was Apple thinking. And exactly who is going to buy the spin that 64 bits is more energy efficient than 32. Just read Apple's own claims. Other manufactures aiming at more than 24 hours runtime = Apple will lose more market share.

If your iPhone 8 has any damage which impairs the ability to complete the repair, such as a cracked screen, that issue will need to be resolved prior to the service. In some cases, there may be a cost associated with the additional repair

My first guess is that you are asking if the new system will allow the police to directly request to unlock phones. In the extreme case they might be able to ask without a warrant, which actually could be possible based on some fine print in the EULA or ToS or something else you clicked on without reading.

For any other manufacturer, this would probably work, but Apple's phones (at least their flagship model) are ridiculously expensive. The iPhone X starts at $999 according to Apple's own site. Even the base model for the iPhone 8 Plus is $799, so if you have to factor in tax or you want to upgrade the storage capacity, this plan wouldn't work.

kenh quoted TFS thusly:

As a compromise, prison officials offered to download the already-purchased music to a CD, and then mail that CD to someone outside the prison. For a $25 fee.

Then he reacted to it this way:

Is Apple as accommodating when you chose to quit using iTunes?

Will your local cable company burn your 'legally purchased' movies to DVD when you switch to Sattelite TV?

First, Apple is not a cable company. Likewise, cable TV companies, however much they might like to pretend otherwise, are not tech companies, and they are only now beginning to get into content streaming, as their customers become sophisticated enough to realize that "tiered" TV service bundles are simply a pretext to sell them channels they don't and won't watch in order to get the ones they want - and abandon en masse both cable and satellite TV subscriptions in favor of streaming services that actually understand their market. Nor do cable TV companies sell music subscriptions. Two very different business models, two entirely different kinds of product, which you have conflated here.

Having said that, I think it's fair to point out that switching away from Apple and iTunes doesn't mean you have to give up the music you purchased from it. In fact, Apple even offers a tutorial on how convert your iTunes library to MP3s. So, your attempt to further conflate Apple's business model with that of Jpay has no basis in fact. (Full disclosure here: I own an iPad 2 - which I use as an ereader when I'm on the toilet. Otherwise, I'm not at all an Apple customer, nor do I purchase any content whatever from iTunes.)

Your complaint about cable TV companies is, likewise, ungrounded in reality. You do not - indeed, you cannot - "purchase" movies from them. You can, however, opt to pay a premium to watch "pay-per-view" movies in the short time between their theatrical run and their release in DVD/Blueray/digital-download formats - and via HBO and other streaming services. The name of that service should be more than enough clue to the fact that customers who choose that option are not, in any legal sense, purchasing the movies they watch, but instead are merely paying for the privilege of watching them on those services. Give up the services, and you give up the privilege. Likewise, once you watch your pay-per-view movie, if you wish to watch it again, you have the choice of waiting until it's available on the premium channels (which, again, you are paying a monthly fee to watch) or DVD/etc. formats for you to purchase, or paying the pay-per-view fee a second time to do so. Regardless, as long as you're watching them courtesy of a cable/satellite subscription, at no time do you ever actually own them. Period.

Don't mistake this for a defense of Jpay's business model. s entirely based on sweetheart, monopoly deals with state prison systems to exploit a literally-captive audience that could hardly be more corrupt if they were openly run by the Mafia ...

Check out my novel ...

A cross-platform application. Use Tcl/Tk if you have to, or even python. That's cross-platform.

Which would require tech support to walk users through installing Tcl/Tk or Python with Tkinter. A developer can assume that one of the big four web browsers is already installed, unlike Tcl/Tk or Python with Tkinter. Nor would Apple's App Store Review Guidelines allow publishing a generic Tcl/Tk or Python with Tkinter interpreter for purposes other than learning to program. The developer would have to buy an iOS Developer Program subscription and an Xcode license separately and package the interpreter with the application.

Most LiPo charger ICs can be set up to turn OFF once you reach full charge, and turn ON again when you drop below a set level. It your charger IC is set to always trickle charge - you're doing it wrong.

And Apple's charging circuits do exactly what you suggest:

https://discussions.apple.com/...

This is technically your fault

What utter bullshit. It is the fault of Apple's engineering, that can't safely trickle charge a li-ion battery. I have lots of devices permanently sitting on chargers, everybody does. But don't do that with Apple products unless your fire insurance is all paid up. According to you.

but the knowledge of how to keep a battery stored really matters and isn't very common knowledge. Any device with a lithium-ion battery of any kind should not be left on the charger for extended periods, like days or more. If you plan on not using the device, unplug and turn it off. The protection chip on the battery will prevent overcharging but it's a precarious situation that might cause overheating, swelling and explosions potentially the longer it's left charging.

That is true if you buy from Apple, apparently.
