Submission + - Happy Birthday, Apple Computer, Inc. 1
April 1, 1976, Apple Computer was Incorporated.

The article is about local inference.
Can you point out on the doll where the big huge fucking list of vectors touched you?
Truly LOL!
Nice try. Also from your sources:
Out of date operating system (OS) versions, especially on iOS devices, can leave a device and the data on it vulnerable to known and unknown exploits.
https://www.lookout.com/threat....
Yeah; I realized after I included that source that they were trying to sell malware protection.
Not such a reliable source, methinks.
iOS devices are more exposed to phishing and web content threats than Android

iOS is at Greater Risk
It isn't false advertising to delay a feature or product. Quite the opposite in fact, the lawsuit is claiming the software that they do not have differs from the description.
The product wasn't delayed. That is the point. AI was advertised as launch feature of the latest iPhone and it wasn't.
Notice how they didn't claim in the suit apple is not accepting returns? That's because they do.
That's not relevant in a deceptive advertising claim.
That's why this suit will get thrown out.
No. Your lack of understanding of how the legal system works is why you *think* this suit will get thrown out.
AI was NOT "announced as a launch feature" of the iPhone 16 line.
It was always going to be added after the iPhone 16's Product Launch.
Near the end of this WWDC 2024 excerpt, Craig Federighi only states that Apple intelligence will be coming to iOS 18 "Later this year."

Doesn't sound like a "launch day committment" to me. . .
Further evidence:

And actually, Apple has quietly been adding AI features to iOS for a long time:
You have an interesting interpretation of "quite low."
From your first source:
A total of 1.1 million malicious and potentially unwanted installation packages were detected, almost 69,000 of which associated with mobile banking Trojans.

From your second source:
106,000 Malicious apps detected on enterprise devices in Q3 2024
https://www.lookout.com/threat...
In both cases, these are instances where malware was detected that was already installed on devices, i.e., made it past all of Apple or Google's "screenings."
Those numbers were made up almost exclusively of ANDROID malware instances.
Learn to read.
As for the App evaluation process itself, I've been through this process multiple times. It's a joke. Full stop. Decisions are arbitrary and superficial. They don't do any real analysis of the app or its safety and security.
Riiight. . .
That's why the actual number of times that actual, steal-your-credentials-level malware has actually made it onto any of Apple's App Stores remains quite low.
e.g. :
The only reason there's a 15% tier is because of pressure from regulators. It was 30% for everybody. And 15% is still exorbitant. Shopify's fees, for example, are less than 3%.
It hasn't been 30% for everybody for several years, now.
I have no idea what Shopify even does for its Vendors; but I can guarantee it doesn't amount to shit compared to the Resources Apple dedicates to Developers.
It's a law, not a biblical commandment. There are bad laws. This is one of them.
Boy, is THAT an understatement!
FIFTEEN PERCENT!!!
Only fairly-successful Developers (over $1 million in annual App Sales) pay that 30 percent.
Incessantly Chanting "OMG!!! Thirty Percent!!!1!11!!" is nothing more than The Big Lie.
"And then named his "Dream Machine" computer after her..."

What an idiotic statement.
At the height of AI mania people were selling $AAPL because they had "no clear AI strategy".
At the same time they probably don't want to release something that will be mocked for its errors.
So they preannounced to save their market reputation but now suffer user reputation.
But Tim Apple's job is only to make the users happy to the extent that it makes the shareholders happy.
In his position (which I have assiduously avoided) I would probably do the same thing.
He is being pressed to release technology that doesn't exist yet.
And thank $DIETY$ that MBA Tim Cook is actually siding with his Engineers instead of his buddies in Marketing that actually "speak his language".
That's an important mark of Great Management. . .
It's not just Shittle. Everything everywhere has been made utter garbage by capitalism. There is no surviving under this system
FUCK OFF AND DIE!!!
And now they are finding those people cannot deliver. At least instead of pushing out hallucinating morons, Apple has the decency to delay the product and try to fix it.
Exactly.
Too many people are too shallow and short-sighted.
Please excuse the typos and grammar errors, of course I was typing on my iPad which is an inexact process
Only for inexact typists!
BTW, Typed on my iPhone in Portrait Orientation.
The founders are no longer there. the original talent that cares about the consumer experience and the product have left.
Apple, Inc. is about two weeks from being Forty-Nine Years Old!!!
Just how many of the people you know have stayed at the same Company, or even worked at all, for that much time?
Off the top of my head: Phil Schiller is not Original; but he's been there for Decades. Wendell Sander had a single-digit Employee Number, and he just Retired a couple of years ago to take care of his ailing wife.
I am sure there are others.
But WTF is the point?!? No Company can EVER "Pass The Torch"???
Get real.
