Attorney General asks Apple to unlock naval base shooter’s iPhones
[ad_1] Apple has given investigators details from Mohammed Saeed Alshamrani’s iCloud account, but it rejected a plea from the FBI to unlock the phones. The company has claimed complying with such a request could set a precedent that may compel it to unlock a device whenever a federal agency asks it to. The Justice Department […]
Apple might be developing a ‘Pro Mode’ to speed up Macbooks
[ad_1] A key text string from the beta describes it succinctly: “Apps may run faster, but battery life may decrease and fan noise may increase.” Other strings note that turning on the feature will override fan speed limits, and that it’ll be automatically reset the following day (which is also how the macOS Do Not […]
Apple’s next MacBook upgrades could be coming soon
[ad_1] The filing simply mentions a “portable personal computer,” so there’s no telling which MacBook is getting an update. Apple usually holds events in early spring where the company unveils new products, so a new MacBook being announced in a few months makes sense. Some consumers are likely holding out on buying a new MacBook […]
Apple’s AirPods drop to $129 on Amazon
[ad_1] The pros and cons of the AirPods are well-established by this point. The sound quality is merely okay, there’s no water resistance, and the design offers neither extensive control nor a secure fit for some listeners.

Apple’s rare CES appearance was another privacy pitch
[ad_1] Touting privacy, of course, has become one of the company’s main marketing strategies. The pitch is that, in a post-Cambridge Analytica world that’s become an arms-race for consumer data, Apple alone — not Google, Amazon or Facebook — can be trusted with personal information. Its business comes from hardware and software (and maybe now […]
FBI asks Apple to help unlock iPhones of suspected naval station shooter
[ad_1] An official talking to NBC News said that Alsharmani appeared to have shot one of the iPhones, making access that much more difficult. It’s not clear jut how functional the device was afterward. In a statement, Apple said the FBI requested information a month earlier. It had given investigators “all of the data in […]
Apple will engrave emoji on your AirPods case for free
[ad_1] Apple is expanding the free engraving options on AirPods cases to include emoji. The selection is fairly limited, ranging from a few faces (such as my personal favorite, the grimace) through to heart and star symbols. You can also have a ghost, robot, alien, skull, hand gesture (but no middle finger) or an animal […]
Apple signs former HBO chief to a five-year deal
[ad_1] There’s no certainty that Plepler’s outfit will produce giant hits for Apple. While he led HBO through a 28-year tenure that includes the likes of Game of Thrones, Six Feet Under and The Sopranos, he wasn’t the artistic mastermind behind those shows. Even so, there’s little doubt that Plepler has mountains of experience in […]
