iPhone default feature jacks up your bill.
The two blame Apple's Wi-Fi Assist feature. This automatically switches your phone from Wi-Fi to cellular if it decides your Wi-Fi signal is too weak. It's on by default in iOS 9, a recent version of the software that runs the iPhone.

Ransomware hits Macs.

Finally! Let's see how Apple cultists explain this one.

Like their equipment, it sounds like their hackers are less than "top of the line"...

Microsoft is going to point to this and say "This is why we want everyone on the same OS."

If the latest one didn't suck balls, I wouldn't have so much of a problem.

Apple is holding their Apple event today announcing new products and apparently they're very underwhelming.

A smaller iPhone with an LCD screen?

A tiny iPhone
A smaller iPad Pro (expensive AF)
A new OS.

Seriously?

They ran out of ideas that Jobs had in the pipeline before he died?

Personally I prefer my phone to be a smaller device. The oversizing trend of recent years has been annoying. The only reason I picked the Moto G I have now is because it was the smallest still-powerful device on the market.

I hope Apple starts a trend back towards miniaturization.

Another day, another Apple upgrade breaking devices.

It's hilarious that people think of Apple as a technology company.

I don't understand how a company with such a small line of products can't write code without breaking them. All of their shit is proprietary. There's no excuse for this level of incompetence!

They're cultists or PR and UI specialists. Actual cleverness in underlying design or implementation has escaped them for some time now.

The iPhone 7 pre-orders started today. This is not a cuddly article about them...

iPhone 7 hits this Friday. So does iOS 10.

In news that shouldn't be a shock to anyone, it's bricking phones and ipads.

3 out of the last 5 updates bricked devices. Holy shit. This is the #1 tech company in the world? They have, what, 5 products? How do they fuck up like this over and over?
