Apple is selling Mophie’s new AirPower knock-off

[ad_1] There are other wireless charging pads available, of course. Still, it’s interesting to see a big name such as Mophie make one when Apple couldn’t, and then for Apple to sell the Mophie devices through its website and stores. Mophie revealed a pair of multi-device pads Friday, each of which provide 7.5W of charging […]

Apple suspends the Siri program where people listened to your questions

[ad_1] Just last week a report by The Guardian dug into a program where third-party contractors listened in to anonymized recordings of Apple users asking Siri questions to judge the assistant’s responses, and now Apple has shut it down. In a statement to TechCrunch, the company said that while it conducts a “thorough” review, it’s […]

Apple contractors frequently hear sensitive info in Siri recordings

[ad_1] Apple stressed in a statement that it has multiple privacy protections. The recordings aren’t tied to Apple IDs, and they’re studied in “secure facilities” by people who are bound to “strict confidentiality requirements.” It won’t know whose device made a request or otherwise make connections. That still leaves some concerns, though, and not just […]

Watch Apple’s WWDC 2019 keynote in under seven minutes

[ad_1] To say Apple’s WWDC 2019 keynote was jam-packed would be an understatement. Apple offered its usual previews of the next versions of iOS, macOS, tvOS and watchOS, but it also broke some new ground. The iPad now has its own operating system, for starters.

Finally, I can use my iPhone to ride the NYC subway

[ad_1] Before I get into that, though, let’s first talk about the setup process for Express Transit, as the Apple Pay feature is called. When you go to “Wallet & Apple Pay” settings on your iPhone, you’ll now see an option called Express Transit Card. After you tap on that, you need to select a […]

What to expect from Apple at WWDC 2019

[ad_1] When Apple first started talking about redesigning the Mac Pro, it also pointed to the need for a new, pro-grade monitor to go with it. (The company stopped building standalone displays in 2016, instead pushing LG screens in its online store.) So far, rumors suggest that we’ll get a look at a 31.6-inch, 6K […]

Apple Watch ECG is coming to Canada ‘as quickly as possible’

[ad_1] Apple has so far been content to bring the feature to more countries through minor software updates, like watchOS 5.2 in March and 5.2.1 earlier in May. The technology typically requires approval on a country-by-country basis due to the medical implications. It’s meant to detect atrial fibrillation, and officials typically want to ensure that […]
