ICEBlock Owner After Apple Removes App: ‘We Are Determined to Fight This’
Apple removed ICEBlock reportedly after direct pressure from Department of Justice officials. “I am incredibly disappointed by Apple's actions today. Capitulating to an authoritarian regime is never the right move,” the developer said.

I need a recommendation for a new iPhone 16 case. The Apple Silicone case which I bought, and that I thought would last a decent wedge of time, only lasted 11 months before snapping at the USBC port.
The Apple Genius said that it wasn't covered by warranty, which didn't really impress me as I'm very careful with my phone. The Silicone is also peeling at the bottom.

New work laptop. I don't want to sign it into my #Apple account for obvious reasons.
Connect my Apple trackpad to the new work machine and it works fine.
Try to reconnect the trackpad to my personal Mac so I can do some homelab stuff over the weekend, not so fine. It shows up in the BT menu, but won't actually connect until I have the laptop forget the device.
Ok, I think, I'll just connect it wired since I only use the trackpad at my desk at home anyway.
That doesn't work because why would you want to be able to plug in a device with a wire and have it Just Work when instead you could get to fuck around with Bluetooth.
And of course I get to do the forget device bullshit again in order to use it with my work laptop today

Is there an Apple Mac specialist around Paris who is willing to revive a MacBook Pro M3 Pro which got stuck during a MacOS #Tahoe upgrade?
I tried to approach two Apple Stores but they claim to be too busy to help in this iPhone launch weekend ☹️. And I am traveling Monday to a country without any official Apple presence.

I'm sure there's a reason for this, but there were a LOT of iPhones at the Apple Store yesterday, just standing on the table, and leaning up against the magsafe charger stands.
I couldn't leave until I had put them all back on properly.

I installed v26 of #Apple's OS updates about 24h ago, and it's not been catastrophic. A couple of very minor UI glitches, perhaps, that’ll be fixed in the next patch.

Okay, I couldn't resist and got myself the #Apple watch #ultra3. My fear that it feels much heavier than my previous series 10 did not come true. On the wrist I can't say that I feel a difference. But the better battery life and the prominent look are very welcome.

I don't think Apple was ready for downloading iOS 26 updates to ALL brand new iPhone 17's that were delievered today.

Dear #Apple. I am curious to know what the top priorities of the company is going forth. I ask because there are many of us who are confused about where this company is headed. We are concerned, as the more successful you have become, that more diluted your core mission has become. Example : Liquid Glass UI? really?
