    Apple AI not available in the European Union

    Now I know this is not really news anymore, but I am really really upset about this - and I acknowledge that it may not even be Apples fault - but the EU's zeal to over-regulate everything... I just bought an iPhone 16 Pro and was NOT aware that Apple AI (resp. many features such as iPhone...

    Apple Intelligence in... Switzerland?

    Ok, this is bugging me since the beginning... Does anybody know if Apple Intelligence will be available for Swiss users? Why do I ask? Because Switzerland isn't part of the European Union and we didn't get to have 3rd party app stores like the rest of the EU, so i assume Apple doesn't consider...

    My theory about Apple Intelligence, iPhone Mirroring, and the EU was wrong

    My theory was wrong: I thought Apple would make it possible for EU users to access Apple Intelligence and iPhone Mirroring by simply changing their region to the US, which would as a result disable sideloading for those EU iPhones which changed regions to the US. I thought it would go viral on...

    Apple's hypocrisy with app "sideloading"

    I love traveling because it allows me to discover things like this. In China, most apps are WeChat and AliPay "mini-programs", i.e. apps within apps. For example if you want to visit the National Museum, you must buy the tickets throught the National Museum app within the WeChat app. Want a...

    Other Saudi Arabia makes USB-C mandatory for electronic devices ahead of iPhone 15

    Now it’s no longer just the E.U. https://9to5mac.com/2023/08/09/saudi-arabia-usb-c-mandatory/ Now we just need some big fines going Apple’s way when they inevitably bastardize it with some new MFi none-sense. We’re probably going to get USB 2.0 speeds from all our current USB-C to USB-C and...
