Apple is facing that accuses the company of failing to install vent filters in MacBooks and iMacs, leading to lower processor speeds and screen smudges from trapped dust, which result in expensive repairs for consumers. News of was published today by Hagens Berman, the firm handling the case. 'Apple is the most valuable company in the world today because consumers trust it to make reliable, quality products, yet it has failed to remedy one of the most simple and well-known problems in the technology community - the accumulation of dust,' said Steve Berman, managing partner and co-founder of Hagens Berman.
'This filter defect is costing Apple owners hundreds of dollars in repairs, and Apple refuses to take responsibility.' 'We intend to hold Apple accountable for this costly defect affecting millions of its computers,' Berman added.According to the lawsuit, some iMac, iMac Pro, MacBook Pro, MacBook, and MacBook Air users have experienced dark smudges and spots on the interior of the screens of their computers as well as excessive slowness due to heating issues because of the lack of a filter in these devices. The computer intakes air to cool its components, but with no filter, dust gets trapped inside. This affects the screen and logic board of the computer, leading to dust stuck behind the screen and gummed up motherboards, causing the computer to run slow and/or overheat.Dust accumulating from the air allegedly impacts the screen and the motherboard, causing spots on the display and heat regulation issues. Hagens Berman says that Apple has been charging customers with machines out of warranty upwards of $600 to fix these problems. The lawsuit says iMac and MacBook models from 2013 to 2018 are affected. Several plaintiffs are named in the lawsuit, including a photographer who was plagued by dark spots on her Mac's display, a user who had smudges on his iMac who was required to pay $600 for a replacement after five months, and a third iMac owner who saw dark smudges soon after making a purchase and subsequently had his display and motherboard replaced multiple times, leading to high repair bills.
The class action lawsuit is seeking monetary compensation for Mac owners, including compensation for screens that 'did not perform as advertised,' reimbursement for out-of-pocket repair costs, and compensation for those who sold their computers at a loss due to dark smudges on the display or poor performance. Apple's iPhone XR, released in late October, has been outselling the iPhone XS and XS Max every day since it first launched, Apple's VP of product marketing Greg Joswiak told in an interview published today. Priced starting at $749, a more affordable price tag than the $999 iPhone XS or $1,099 iPhone XS Max, the iPhone XR was Apple's 'most popular iPhone each and every day' since it became available for purchase.
Though the iPhone XR has been outselling Apple's more expensive iPhones, rumors have suggested that it is not selling quite as well as Apple expected. Apple has reportedly cut both iPhone XS and iPhone XR orders following lower-than-expected demand. Apple is said to have iPhone XR production by up to a third. Joswiak did not comment on reports of iPhone XR production cuts, and instead reiterated his statement that the device is Apple's best selling iPhone at the current point in time. In addition to providing details on iPhone XR sales, Joswiak said that Apple will again promote World AIDS Day on Saturday, December 1. $1 of every Apple Pay purchase made at an Apple Store, the Apple Store app, or through the Apple website from December 1 to December 7 will be donated. 'Not only does each purchase bring us closer to an AIDS-free generation, but every dollar provides five days of life-saving medicine,' said Joswiak.
Apple also plans to turn the Apple logos at 125 of its stores red, as it has done in past years, and at 400 additional stores, red decals will be placed over Apple logos. Apple does not plan to offer any special promotions in the App Store this year.
Apple has long supported AIDS research through its RED partnership, which sees it offering (PRODUCT)RED themed devices and donating a portion of the purchase price. Apple in October alongside other iPhone XR models launched a (PRODUCT)RED version of the iPhone XR, which Joswiak said is 'incredibly' important to Apple. 'It's hard to think of a higher calling than selling products that save people's lives,' he said.
Google a major expansion of its, which has previously been available on select Android devices. As of today, iPhone and iPad users are also able to take advantage of Fi, with a new available with setup steps.
Project Fi, which is being renamed 'Google Fi' alongside the expansion of the service, is designed to provide hassle-free cellular service with perks like international data coverage at an affordable price. The Google Fi service is priced at $20 for unlimited talk and text, along with $10 for each GB of data used up to 6GB. At the 6GB cap, data becomes free, and at 15GB, data speeds slow down. The monthly fee caps out at $80, not including taxes and fees, and it costs an additional $15 per person. On the iPhone, LTE data speeds, unlimited texts, and unlimited calls are included, and there are no roaming fees in more than 170 countries. There are, however, some restrictions.
While iMessage functions fine, sending texts to non-iPhones requires configuring some settings, and voicemails will not be able to take advantage of the visual voicemail feature in iOS. Voicemails will instead be available as text messages, and you'll need to call to check them. Google Fi's network switching feature and VPN do not work on iOS. Google Fi compatibility on an iPhone XS Max Google Fi operates as an MNVO, aka mobile virtual network operator, which means its coverage comes from other carriers like T-Mobile, US Cellular, and Sprint. Google devices are able to take advantage of network switching for better coverage, but this does not work on iOS. IPhones and iPads will instead use T-Mobile's network for calls, texts, and data, but international roaming is still available. Calls or texts cannot be made over WiFi with Google Fi, and when outside of the U.S., the data hotspot feature will not work.
You could previously get Fi service on an iPhone in an unofficial capacity using a SIM card activated by a Google device and changing some settings, but Google now offers official Google Fi support on the iPhone. Google says the Fi service will work with the iPhone 5s and later, with iPhones required to be running iOS 11 or higher.
For today only, Google is offering a travel credit when purchasing a Google phone, or a $200 Fi service credit when bringing a phone to Fi. ECG functionality will be enabled on the Apple Watch Series 4 in the publicly released version of watchOS 5.1.2, which is, according to an internal Apple Store training document obtained by MacRumors. WatchOS 5.1.2 will feature an Apple-designed ECG app that can indicate whether your heart rhythm shows signs of atrial fibrillation, a serious form of irregular heart rhythm, or a normal sinus rhythm.
Apple Watch Series 4 is capable of generating an ECG similar to a single-lead electrocardiogram, according to the FDA. ECG and other heart data is collected in the Health app on a paired iPhone. Apple's document lists a minimum requirement of an iPhone 5s or later running iOS 12.1.1, currently, or later. To take an ECG reading from the Apple Watch, users will need to place a finger on the Digital Crown while wearing the watch. The reading is completed in 30 seconds, allowing users to determine whether their hearts are beating in a regular pattern or if there are signs of atrial fibrillation. Apple's training document states that the ECG app is regulated and only available in regions cleared for use. The app will, where Apple has received FDA clearance, but Apple Watch Series 4 models sold worldwide include the electrical heart sensor for future expansion.
Apple Store employees are instructed to advise customers that the ECG app is 'not intended to be a diagnostic device or to replace traditional methods of diagnosis,' and 'should not be used to monitor or track disease state or change medication without first talking to a doctor,' according to Apple's document. Apple promised that the ECG app will be available later this year, but it's unclear when watchOS 5.1.2 and iOS 12.1.1 will be released. WatchOS 5.1.2 has been in beta testing since November 7, while iOS 12.1.1 has been in beta testing since October 31, so both software updates should be released relatively soon. A separate Apple training document obtained by MacRumors suggests that irregular heart rhythm notifications will also be enabled in watchOS 5.1.2 on Apple Watch Series 1 through Apple Watch Series 4 models.
The ECG app will not be available on previous-generation Apple Watch models, including the original through Series 3. Apple Pay launched in Belgium today, allowing bank card users in the country to take advantage of the contactless mobile payment system if their card issuer supports it. In this case, the region's Apple Pay launch has taken the form of an exclusive partnership with and its subsidiary brands Fintro and Hello Bank. It's possible that other banks in Belgium will support Apple's digital wallet further down the line, but currently we don't have any specific details regarding future rollouts.
Apple Pay can be used on iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch, as well as Mac models with Touch ID and Macs released in 2012 or later in combination with an iPhone or Apple Watch. Also today, Apple Pay launched in Kazakhstan. The rollout there comes to, and cardholders, with Mastercard and Visa variously supported. Around 65 percent of card terminals in the country already support contactless payments, according to, with banks actively expanding the terminal network with NFC technology. Belgium and Kazakhstan become the 30th and 31st region where Apple Pay is officially available. Apple Pay is also this year and is 'coming soon' to, according to Apple.com.
Apple Pay first launched in the United States in October 2014 and has since expanded to many other countries, including the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, China, Singapore, Switzerland, France, Japan, Spain, Italy, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Russia, New Zealand, Brazil, Poland, Ireland, and Ukraine. (Thanks, Henry and Dmitry!). For more videos. According to Caviar, the Tesla iPhone X is so named because the solar charging panel and battery pack built into the back of the device were inspired by Elon Musk.
There's no actual association with Tesla aside from the name and the solar design. The Tesla iPhone X's solar charger isn't a case or a standalone battery pack - it's built right into the back of the iPhone. The solar addition is a 2,300mAh battery that can be used to charge the iPhone, and the battery itself charges using the power of the sun or via USB.
When charging using the sun, the battery takes 30 hours to charge, so it's in no way efficient. It is, however, useful if you're stranded sans power, and while home, you can use an included magnetic charging cable to charge it up in just a few hours. We did notice when charging that the Tesla iPhone's battery frame and magnetic connector got super burn-your-hand hot, which is always a concern because it's not clear how safe custom iPhone components are in day to day use. The device also comes with headphones, a Lightning cable, and a wall adapter, just like any other iPhone, but it has a Caviar-designed box that offers a premium unboxing experience as one would expect from a $4,400 iPhone. The Tesla iPhone's battery pack is essentially similar to one of Apple's battery cases, except the battery is included at the back of the phone. This does, of course, disable the iPhone X's wireless charging feature, and it adds a good amount of bulk. Along with the solar panel at the back of the device, the Tesla iPhone features carbon fiber accents, gold plating, and Tesla and Caviar-branded labeling on the device.
Aside from the solar panel and the custom design, the Tesla iPhone works like any other iPhone X. Face ID is unhindered, and the buttons work as normal. This isn't a phone designed for the average consumer given its $4,400 price point, but there's a definite customer base for altered iPhones like this, and it's fun to check out even if it's not something we might buy. What do you think of the Tesla iPhone?
Let us know in the comments. DriveSavers today of a new consumer-facing service that's designed to unlock iOS devices for customers who have forgotten their passcodes, been locked out after too many incorrect entry attempts, or who need to access the data on the device of a deceased family member. DriveSavers says it is using 'new proprietary technology' to recover data from a passcode-locked devices, a service that has previously been limited to law enforcement agencies and unavailable to the average consumer.
It is not known what technology DriveSavers is using to access data on the device. It may be a passcode guessing feature or something related to iCloud data, with the company suggesting it is able to recover data like photos, videos, contacts, text messages, voice recordings, and notes. The service is advertised for Android, Windows, BlackBerry, and iOS devices, so the full breadth of information DriveSavers can recover from an iPhone or an iPad is unclear.
Law enforcement agencies have long used data recovery hacks and devices to gain access to locked iPhone devices. The most well-known recovery method highlighted in recent months is the, which can brute force the passcode on an iOS device using some kind of proprietary jailbreaking software. The GrayKey was with iOS 12, but DriveSavers may be using a similar device or unlocking method. GrayKey iPhone cracking box, via MalwareBytes Government agencies also have the ability to request data from iCloud straight from Apple, but this is presumably not a method that's available to DriveSavers for consumer data recovery requests. The Passcode Lockout Data Recovery service is for standard customers only, and DriveSavers says it will not unlock devices for law enforcement or other government agencies.
Prior to unlocking a device, DriveSavers verifies ownership 'during all phases of the recovery process' and requires a legal authorization form with customers required to provide specific information before data access is provided. DriveSavers does not provide pricing for its Passcode Lockout Data Recovery Service, and suggests that those interested call the company for more information. Update: DriveSavers has provided MacRumors with additional info on its iPhone unlocking service.
The company is able to fully unlock the iPhone and return the unlocked device to the owner, and there's an option to back up the phone's data to an external device. DriveSavers is not able to provide further information on its unlocking methods.
The service is not inexpensive, priced around $3,900. DriveSavers is also using strict identification protocols, in some cases requesting documents that include death certificates, probate documents, court documents, and more. DriveSavers says that most people use the service to access the data from the device of a deceased loved one. Apple is offering a limited time promotion that provides up to $100 in additional credit when trading in an iPhone, according to Apple's. When trading in an iPhone 6, 6 Plus, 6s, 6s Plus, 7, 7 Plus, or 8 towards the purchase of an iPhone XR or iPhone XS, customers can get between $25 and $100 extra. With an iPhone 6 Plus, for example, the normal trade-in value is $100, but with the current promotion, customers will get $200 in credit towards the purchase of a new iPhone. It appears the trade-in bonus credit is only available when trading in an eligible older iPhone towards the purchase of the iPhone XR and iPhone XS, with extra credit not available for purchases of the iPhone 7 or iPhone 8.
When you go through the normal trade-in process on the trade-in site, Apple offers $150, but if you use the trade-in option during the checkout process of purchasing a new iPhone XR or XS, the bonus trade-in credit is displayed. As with all trade-ins, to get the full trade-in value, your iPhone must turn on, it must be in good shape with working buttons, and it can't have a broken display. A broken iPhone that does not turn on or has broken buttons earns no trade-in value, though Apple offers to recycle it. An iPhone with a broken display earns a lesser trade-in amount. Apple CEO Tim Cook and Ivanka Trump, adviser to President Donald Trump, are visiting Idaho's Wilder School District together today to examine the district's use of technology in education, according to the. The visit is part of Ivanka Trump's ongoing workforce development and science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education initiatives. Last year, the Trump administration and other major technology, business, and education leaders for advice regarding STEM education in public schools.

President Donald Trump suggested he might implement a 10 percent tariff on iPhones and laptops imported from China. Trump is set to meet with Chinese leader Xi Jinping later this week, and he said he is prepared to implement additional tariffs on products that are not currently subjected to tariffs should negotiations not go well. He said the tariffs could also be placed on iPhones and laptops imported from China. The administration has been worried about a consumer reaction should such items be subject to levies. Depends on what the rate is,' the president said, referring to mobile phones and laptops. 'I mean, I can make it 10%, and people could stand that very easily.' Starting in January, the U.S.
Is set to increase tariffs on $200 billion in imports from China to 25 percent from 10 percent, which Xi Jinping is hoping to delay with the upcoming meeting. According to Trump, it's 'unlikely' he will hold off on implementing the upcoming increase. Apple devices are from tariffs, though there that the Apple Watch and AirPods would be included in the most recently released tariff list.
Trump ended up exempting a product category that includes the Apple Watch, AirPods, and other smart watches and fitness products. Apple has previously to the Trump administration urging it not to apply tariffs that would affect Apple products, instead urging the government find 'other, more effective' solutions.
Apple said implementing the tariffs would lead to lower U.S. Growth and competitiveness, along with higher prices for U.S. Back, Apple CEO Tim Cook commented on the tariffs, saying that Apple was 'optimistic' the issue would be sorted out, with the company ultimately hoping 'calm heads prevail.'
Apple's stock has dropped in after hours trading following Trump's remarks. Note: Due to the political nature of the discussion regarding this topic, the discussion thread is located in our forum.

Apple today announced the launch of its new Entrepreneur Camp, which is meant to create new opportunities for app-driven businesses that are owned or led by women. The Entrepreneur Camp offers an intensive technology lab, specialized support for app developers, and ongoing mentoring.
'Apple is committed to helping more women assume leadership roles across the tech sector and beyond,' said Tim Cook, Apple's CEO. 'We're proud to help cultivate female leadership in the app development community with the new Apple Entrepreneur Camp, and we're inspired both by the incredible work that's already happening, and what's sure to come.' Apple says that to be eligible for the program, which is, businesses must be female-founded, co-founded, or led and have at least one woman on the development team. A working app or prototype is required, as is a 'desire to leverage Apple technologies and benefit their mission. The inaugural session of the Entrepreneur Camp is set to begin in January 2019. Sessions will be held on a quarterly basis, with 20 app companies accepted for each round. The exception is the pilot round, which will be limited to 10 companies.
After being accepted to the program, companies will be able to send three employees to Cupertino, the home of Apple's two most well known campuses: Infinite Loop and Apple Park. The two week immersive program is set to include one-on-one code-level assistance with Apple engineers, sessions on design, technology, and App Store marketing, access to an alumni forum for peer-to-peer mentoring, and ongoing support from Apple.

Microsoft today surpassed Apple to become the world's most valuable publicly traded company as a result of Apple's continually declining share price, reports.
Microsoft has reached a market capitalization of approximately $814 billion, while Apple's is now slightly less. Apple became the world's only trillion dollar publicly traded company, but it in November and its market cap has steadily declined since then over concerns of weak iPhone sales and its announcement that it iPhone, iPad, and Mac sales on a unit basis. According to, Microsoft's market cap has not previously matched Apple's since mid-2010, eight years ago. Microsoft's growing cloud business and strong PC sales made Microsoft one of the few tech companies to grow in value following its September quarter earnings results. Apple's valuation, meanwhile, has fallen more than 20 percent since its own earnings results. Microsoft shares hit a high of $105.94 in intra-day trading, while Apple's have dropped to a low of $170.27.
As stock prices fluctuate, Microsoft and Apple are now competing for the most valuable company title with the lead company shifting back and forth.

Rgrgeo The BEST RSS and News Reader Just discovered News Explorer and I am completely impressed. I have tried many news agregation apps and RSS readers and this one does everything you could want in addtion to offering a beautiful UI and reader display. It is very customizable and syncs beautifully with IOS (which intergrates it’s own settings with the IOS settings framework, brilliant). The search option offers multiple related feeds and sites that you can add all at once, making setup quick and easy. I do wsh there was more control with noitfications, currently I have them turned of because they were flooding my devices unlimited, however, this is just a minor wish.
Overall, the great user experience and detailed contro options makes this truly the BEST application of it’s kind that I have found so far.

I’ve had one freeze that required a force quit to kill the spinny beachball of death. The app forgot some marked favorites and the dark theme setting. I am assuming the favorites issue was due to the timing of an iCloud sync trigger. I’m not sure why it forgot the dark theme setting. I would like a bit more, though, like: -an option to set the default launch view to unread instead of all items -an option to vary the settings for folders or feeds instead of all settings globally (e.g. Notifications, refresh periods, link behavior, etc.) -an option to play embedded videos in line in the article viewer without expanding to the full app window -the same control over the text size for the sidebar and article list that is available for the article view -the ability to add custom smart filters and alerts -more frequent updates Developer Response Thanks a lot for your review and rating! 'Forgetting setting changes' may happen when you force quit the app.
Regarding your first request, please check setting 'Restore last selected subscription' in the Advanced section of the preferences. Playing YouTube videos inline is supported by disabling setting 'Open YouTube videos in full window' in the Behaviours section of the preferences. All other requests are already part of the backlog.

I will offer a few nitpicks though: 1) It’d be nice if headings that were collapsed (“hide”) on the sidebar stayed collapsed, but when you change the view, it reverts. 2) If you view an article in reader view, when you go to the next article it’s off again (so you have to use V key a lot). It’d be nice if it were sticky for feeds that truncate by default Compliaints specific to the iOS version 1) The icon is awful.
The blurred “N” is tolerable on macOS, but the iOS icon is really bad. 2) The font in the article list is VERY small and not adjustable. It’s noticeably smaller than the “medium” font size in Mail, for example. I wish it adjusted to use the system standard font size, I’m not 25 anymore.
But otherwise, the article reading experience, the lack of requirements to pay for a subscription service, and everything about the app is great!
