Swiss newspaper Tages-Anzeiger today published an interesting and expansive interview with Apple VPs Kevin Lynch and Deidre Caldbeck, discussing all...

There are still bugs with Stage Manager and, look, this is not surprising given this is the first beta of iPadOS 17.

What first or third-party iOS widgets do you find especially useful?

Are there any that you're already thinking about using on Mac with Sonoma's continuity feature?

In Carplay there are three settings -

1. full spoken directions
2. Alerts only
3. Off

Quite often, while driving I would like to switch between them (alerts for long sections of motorway, full directions when near the end on unfamiliar local roads.

The tappable icons are tiny, and I find it dangerous to switch while moving. Are there any Siri commands to switch mode?

The European Union is moving closer to enacting a law that will require smartphones like the iPhone to have easier battery repairs.

I wonder how long everyone here has been using Apple equipment. I’m an old greybeard so we’re taking 68k era for me. Well, Apple II really!! Then PowerPC then Intel and some newton and og iPod and of course iOS.

What’re everyone‘s Apple history? I’d be interested to hear!

Japan is joining the EU in requiring mobile platforms open up for third party software, and allow third party payment processing.

Perhaps the increasing global regulatory pressure will make Apple concede on blocking third party software sources in general.

The tech giant's AR/VR headset is a prototype for how it imagines our future

Suggest questions here for next week's Question Of The Week thread.

• Questions must be Apple related, of course.
• I'll have Siri roll a dice to decide between the most upvoted suggestions in the comments. (I'll probably ignore downvotes.)
• Remember that this thread is for questions, not answers! Be curious, not… answery.
• This is a new idea and I don't want to force it, so I'm adding "Question Of The Week is silly and we shouldn't do it" as my own suggestion in this thread. Please upvote that comment if you feel that way. If it's clearly the top answer then I'll skip the dice roll and not do Question Of The Week again.
• Hooray for democracy (with some Siri-powered bias).

I'm gathering a list of Apple-related communities for this magazine's sidebar. Add new suggestions in the comments!

A few rules:

• Must be directly Apple related
• Must be part of the Fediverse (e.g. a Kbin magazine or Lemmy community)
• Must be compatible with this magazine's rules (not an instance that supports hate speech, etc.)

Given the pace people are setting up new instances, a complete list will eventually be quite long, so I'll link this thread in the sidebar too.

This is an extremely disappointing change. I use T-Mobile but have opted for financing unlocked phones since the option became available. This kills the single biggest benefit of the card for me

I’m used to a large number of posts regarding iOS beta testing at this point in the year after WWDC.

Where is this discussion happening now? I’m searching mastodon but not seeing a lot and definitely not seeing the volume of what I’d expect from /r/iOSBeta.

“We give them the same phone, in the same brand-new condition,” says one seller.

A little ant was crawling on my trackpad and as I tried to get it off, it crawled inside :( It's one of those bluetooth trackpads that are separate from my laptop. Can this thing be opened without breaking it? I'm guessing no, but maybe someone here has some insight.

Just bought my first macbook what apps should I install as a web developer?

During my entire life (32 years) I used windows and linux machines. Now I bought my first mac book and I would like to know what tools is nice to have to make my work easy.

I am a developer ruby on rails and use vscode, also I use the terminal a lot and the default terminal is not that great. Also I miss notepad++

Any sugestions?

Thank You

Sources said Sony's OLEDoS capacity means Apple will only be able to ship hundreds of thousands of Vision Pro at most next year.

Apple may regret picking the Vision Pro name for its new headset, as a rival firm has already trademarked it. And it’s not the only headache Apple is facing.

The Apple Vision Pro may be ushering in the era of spatial computing, but like many other Apple products, it's using a name steeped in history.

The Tiny Mac III is a small Macintosh replica that runs on a Raspberry Pi 4.

"The suit claimed that the agreement essentially killed the market for refurbished Apple goods on Amazon while giving Amazon a discount of up to 10 percent on its own sales of Apple goods."
