How do you show the government that they have violated the law? By letting illegally obtained evidence stand?

So, in the future, any case should be OK, and any violations of law should be OK, as long as it is for a greater good? What if it's a "greater good" that you disagree with? Who gets to draw that line?

Much as I think the guy need to go to jail, I have to go with the evidence is inadmissible.

Are you comparing standard phones to things like Vertu? Who else uses Sapphire screens on sub-$1k phones?

You understand that users of older versions of iOS can download the older versions of the iOS apps, right, if the developer chooses to make it available.

How is this forcing customers to upgrade as often as possible? Also, I said 4 years, not 5 years. You might want to re-read what I wrote, instead of what you think I wrote.

The iPhone 5S, with a dual core 1.3Ghz, is performing comparably to 2.3 Ghz quad cores, coming in at #8.

Can you imagine what the phone market would be like if Apple decided to say "eff the lot of you" and doubled their clock speed and then double the number of cores...?

Seeing that the iPhone 4S runs iOS 8, and iOS 9 will be out next year, this means the iPhone 4S will have 4 years of iOS updates.

iPhone 5S is one year old, and based on track record, will be running iOS 10 fine.

How do you propose they force the 5S into obsolescence faster?

As opposed to Android phones, half of which are sold pre-obsolescenced? How many Android phones are running 4.4 again, and why are there still Android phones sold today that is running 2.x?

you realize you don't have to use the fingerprint scanner, right?

I have the original Motorola Droid. Find me a damned CM for it. I haven't been able to, and have given up on it. It's stuck at 2.3.whatever that Verizon had deigned to leave it at.

According to Apple's documentation, TouchID is so secure that even Apple can't get your fingerprint information out.

the websites you go to on your phone do not serve ads?

Err, you realize that for the most part, these are changeable via registry settings...?

Oh seriously. Popular culture being what it is, that 3 circles is Mickey's head. To argue otherwise is to deny reality.

This is useful information. Thanks.

He said fun for programmers. He didn't say useful for users.

Oh, how I wish I have mod points right now. The article itself and this article are both worthless.
