Apple: "We have further decided to not move forward with our previously proposed CSAM detection tool for iCloud Photos. Children can be protected without companies combing through personal data, and we will continue working with governments, child advocates, and other companies"

Two notes about Advanced Data Protection for iCloud: - iCloud Mail, Calendar, and Contacts are still not E2E - When enabled, access to iCloud.com is disabled by default. Users can turn on access, which gives the browser + Apple temporary access to encryption keys.

Starting with iOS 16.2, AirDrop automatically reverts to Contacts Only after 10 minutes to prevent unwanted requests to receive content worldwide, according to the release notes. Looks like this is now implemented worldwide, not just in China.

Random shower thought: it’s kinda silly for New Year’s resolutions to start on January 1, which is one of the biggest hangover days of the year.

If the Apple Car launches in 2026, it will be *12* years after Project Titan was first rumored.

Apple Car will actually be an app sold for the new $10K maximum on the App Store iMessage sticker pack or something

Developers who want to price their app above $1K need to submit a request to Apple, and the App Store Review Guidelines still apply, so we probably won't be seeing an "I'm Very Rich" app for $10K.

Yesterday I posted about the HomePod mini expanding to countries like Finland, Norway, and Sweden next. Today I woke up to Apple announcing the HomePod mini launches in those countries on December 13. I love when MacRumors is on the ball.

Leakers/reporters can always find out what's coming, but predicting timing is incredibly hard and why you'll often see a lot of "as early as" wording. It's often just logical guesses. Something getting "delayed" might not always be an actual "delay."

Every six months, the Apple Headset and Apple Car get pushed back another six months. It's so exhausting lol. I try to remember that the same thing happened with AirTag, which did eventually launch…

Not every new platform is unveiled at WWDC though! The original Apple Watch was "one more thing" at the iPhone 6 event in September 2014, with the WatchKit SDK released in November 2014 and the Apple Watch launching in April 2015.

If accurate, I think an Apple Headset unveil at WWDC (along with an SDK for developers to create apps) followed by a launch in the later months of the year would be a reasonable guess.

"Clarity" turning 10 years old last month makes me feel a bit old. This was so popular when I was in college. Now I sleep before midnight. 🥲

I hope this is an intentional change, but it doesn't apply to the Lock Screen sadly 😔 I just wish there was an option to have notifications displayed exactly as they were on iOS 15 on the Lock Screen.

Only a handful of BMW, Kia, and Genesis vehicles support Apple Wallet car keys right now. I finally got CarPlay in 2022 when I upgraded my car (never bothered with aftermarket installation), so I look forward to getting this feature in 2030.
