I think this is really the key, especially #3. Apple wants to be the super nanny in control rather than let users control their own device by turning on and off functions users do not want.I know, Android is also not the best privacy protector, however, yes I would go to Android for four reasons:
1. The devices cost a lot less. There is no more reason to pay Apple’s premium price if I can get the same low amount of privacy for half the price of an iPhone.
2. There are very privacy oriented projects based on Android, e.g. GrapheneOS. Also there are Firewalls on Android which allow me to block many connections (like Netguard).
3. Even if you use a standard Android, you can switch off a lot of functions. Like in your link, they only have the location data to hand over if you have Location History enabled, which I of course would not.
4. Most importantly: they do not scan ON my device.
iPad OS 15, I'm looking at you.Don’t expect to much and you won’t be disappointed
New features would be compelling.... and it's lacking. I'd hold my breath for 24 hour battery life but suffocating isn't on my agenda today.We’re getting a re-design Apple Watch though. That’s not compelling?
I'm amused that they even bothered with the last one being somewhat of a flop...What amuses me most is the iPhone mini, at 5.4 inches, is just shy of what used to be the plus iPhones at 5.5 inches.
My last 6 androids all had always on displays.... not really useful and despite it being a low power feature, it still uses enough power that you end up turning it off in settings anyway.I don't see many advantages of an always-on display. My phone is usually in my pocket. If I pull it out to look at the time, the phone automatically shows me the Lock Screen anyway. If my phone is sitting on a table, it lights up when notifications come in. And if I want to see the time when the display is off, I can just tap the screen. The only advantage I can see would be for people who use their iPhone as an alarm clock on a nightstand.
then don't pay any attention to the announcement and start looking at Android phones, tablets and Windows computers or Chromebook - you have LOTS of choices!I am expecting an apology for this new scanning “feature” and the announcement that they completely bury the plans and maybe start scanning more on iCloud. Otherwise my family, me and some of my friends won’t buy anything Apple again.
Think of the $$ you'll save....Since the so-called BS leakers are really just guessing, I’ll make my predictions based solely on Apple's past history and common sense:
- Incremental changes to new iPhone models, mostly just slight camera improvements, maybe a new color, and that is about all. Not much here, never is... And any camera improvements are NEVER going to turn a cracker-jack box toy camera into a real camera. A whole lot of razzle and dazzle via video presentations that attempt to take your mind off of the lackluster changes.
- Incremental changes to new Watch models, a few more medical monitoring capabilities that are neither tried nor proven enough to be reliable and useful to your doctor. Some new bands. A whole lot of razzle and dazzle via video presentations that attempt to take your mind off of the lackluster changes.
- And that "California Streaming" thing, just some announcements about a few more crappy shows for TV+ that only Gen Z would even care about. Probably a few more games for the ATV. and you guessed it, a whole lot of razzle and dazzle via video presentations that attempt to take your mind off of the lackluster improvements.
- And one more thing, a whole lot of disappointment from us over the lackluster improvements and changes...
"5G will be turned off" The only reason you should do that is because of your craptacular cellular service. Time to switch.i don’t mind upgrading from the 11 PM.. let’s see.. 6 gig of ram to rid the annoying app reloads. the qualcomm over the intel should give quite a nice bump to connectivity. night mode on wide lense and selfie camera.. yes plz.. 5G will be turned off .. 120Hz will be turned off.. what else is there ?
Your 11ProMax has the "Intel inside" modem. Safe best the new 13 would improve reception, as the "Donald" likes to say:"Like you wouldn't believe". And my current iPhone 12 Pro gets far better reception than my 10Max ever got.Makes total sense… and if I had an “older” model, I might do the same, but my 2yr old 11ProMax does just fine and I do not care about 5G as I’m my area, with 4 bars of LTE I get <1mbps download so why bother? And the phone is capable of around 100mbps in the right area as I have observed first hand…
Reminds me of the original iPad background, thanks!I figured while I was removing the Apple logo to add that question mark, I might as well try to make a full version of the event graphic for use as a wallpaper.
