I'm just happy that a decade later Apple is finally catching up to the industry standard home screen and lock screen notifications/widget experience that they resisted so hard for some reason.
You mean a feature of their only competitor?
If the other company doing something makes it an industry standard I guess the way Apple does things is an industry standard too

You can rearrange apps on their screen, you just can't have gaps between them or move them "freely" in a way that they alwasy snap to an invisible grid...which isn't really something I have thought about ever.

Oh come on. Bad? Shame? I don’t know about you but my thumb is always at the bottom of the screen. Why would I want to reach all the way to the top to reach the address bar?
When browsing I spend the most time interacting with the page, not with the address bar. Thus I want the page to be covering the easiest part of the screen to reach: the bottom.

Why? It seems very similar to the branded watch faces
Old school manufacturer mentality, although it's not completely baseless... - Don't give up control of a safety critical interface - Don't give up data (which they think they can monetize) by not controlling the full stack - Don't give up a branded differentiator like "iDrive" for what everyone else is offering - Don't pay a tax on our cars to big tech if we can avoid it (see how they dragged their feet on Carplay to…

Could you elaborate? I genuinely don’t understand what you mean
Apple might release an emergency patch for an old device, but it’s not safe for you to keep using that device unless they’re committing to support the device with security patches on an ongoing basis. I think they should support even very old iPhones with updates because: 1) They can’t afford to make an iPhone for $50. 2) Even if they could, they don’t want to make a $50 iPhone because it would be terrible and the ma…

I think with all of their resources, Apple of all companies could dig deep and stretch a little bit to make that happen.
Apple does, with all of their resources, dig much deeper and provide OS updates to much older device models than any mobile device manufacturer I know of.

I see comments now and then which seem to break HN rules. When I do I report/flag them and they are almost always removed. I'm sure there are comments dang misses or maybe he and the other moderators think they don't make the cut. I don't claim to know dang's exact reasoning here and I'm sure he's not perfect, but it does seem like you are consistently saying inflammatory things. You say you mean no disrespect and I…
> That is disrespectful. I've found though that a lot of people don't realize they are being inflammatory when they use inflammatory language.
Sorry, but how is telling someone they're joking being disrespectful? It's an honest question. These lawyering mental gymnastics to try to nitpick my comments and turn them against me are just unbelievable.
> This part for sure (and yes, I did read the comment thread).
> Source, your ass?
I meant that in a humorous way, not in a hurtful way, that the parent was making stuff up. Didn't mean to insult him. Don't people have a sense of humor anymore? If commenters make stuff up and don't post sources, shouldn't that be pointed out somehow so others also know the truth?
That's why I said these things can be subjective if taken out if context and read on their own.

Apparently, the reason Apple dropped support for iPhone 7 is performance on the new lock screen. Pretty lame if that's the case, Apple has usually been good with supporting all devices as long as the hardware allows it (for example, hardware level secure enclave was required at a certain version of iOS)
Apparently, the reason Apple dropped support for iPhone 7 is performance on the new lock screen. It’s more likely the fact the iPhone 7 only has 2GB of RAM and two cores, not to mention missing the Neural Engine, the image processor and other features on Apple’s latest SoCs that iOS 16 requires for some of its features. Most of major features of iOS 16 would have to be removed to run on an iPhone 7.
Passkeys gonna be fire. Goodbye password managers, credential stuffing, and phishing attacks! (photo deduplication is nice too btw, been a long time coming)
Someone correct me if I'm wrong. But, does WebAuthn really improve authentication? With WebAuthn, instead of a secret password, you store a secret key. Why not just use really long passwords behind password managers? You're using some software to save a secret in either case.
Apple’s call and sms spam filtering remains subpar to say the least. When I had a Pixel, I had the option to let the OS transcribe what the potential spammer was saying and end the call. It’s puzzling why Apple isn’t doing more here.
