A place to discuss Apple products
@matthewb
if I had more time on my hands I would write a scathing review of the new studio display XDR.
I have never returned an Apple product before. truly can’t believe they shipped this thing with the amount of blooming it exhibits. unusable unless you only work during daylight hours.
regular studio display is adequate, I guess, but it’s 7+ y/o vanilla IPS panel at this point. next gen 27-32” WOLED panels can’t come soon enough.

Apple has begun using ISRAELI CHIPS for the IPhone 17e.
These chips will control internet browsing, the camera, Bluetooth, WIFI, and battery life.

Apple does it again and invents a folding phone! Can you imagine, a phone that folds? What a time to be alive.

Apple will no longer be able to discourage tracking in the apps you install
Apple will change how it asks iPhone and iPad users for permission to let third-party apps use their data for personalized advertising.
The German competition authority closed a years-long investigation after finding that the company's consent system favored its own apps over those of other developers, potentially violating competition rules.
Going forward, permission request prompts for third-party apps must be neutral in both language and design, eliminating elements that discourage users from agreeing. Additionally, developers will have more flexibility to combine these requests with other privacy-related prompts.
The company has four months to implement the changes following notification of the decision, and the commitment will remain in effect for seven years under the supervision of an independent monitor. These modifications will apply across almost all European Union countries.

Anyone tried this? I know there’s a terminal command that does this but this could be a good user-friendly solution.

I don’t find using Homebrew CLI difficult, but this still looks interesting.
