Oh wow, #apple have begun #manufacturing an #iphone in #india ! https://www.reuters.com/technology/apple.. Very interesting to see them shifting #production away from #china ...
Apparently changing your old #apple #iphone #region to #france will enable higher #performance https://www.gizchina.com/2021/08/23/old-.. This is because Apple was #fined for not considering *actual* #battery state when #throttling performance and whether the phone is actually plugged in. For some reason they didn't roll out this change to all regions though?
#apple is going much further: https://aardvark.co.nz/daily/2021/0806.s.. Apparently they now #scan user devices for #illegal #content and report to the #police . I can already imagine an attack where somebody sends/serves an illegal image for example, an #iphone #downloads it and then the scan #flags it. #aardvark points at this being a type of #fascism - but in modern times we see this actively being used in #communist Countries like #china ! It's clearly #authoritarian ...

Very good analysis, turns out to not be too serious in the end, just highly annoying.Oops, the #apple #iphone and #ipad stop connecting to #wifi correctly if a specific #ssid appears: https://9to5mac.com/2021/06/19/a-specifi.. The string that does this is "%p%s%s%s%s%n" - once a device tries to connect it cannot then connect to other routers, even after reboot and changing the SSID to something normal.
