The U.K. has agreed to drop its mandate for iPhone-maker Apple to provide a "backdoor" enabling access to the protected encrypted data of American citizens, U.S. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has said. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/08/19/tech/us-gabbard-uk-backdoor-apple/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #tech #us #uk #apple #tulsigabbard #iphone

When the #iPhone #iOS starts to play notifications really loud when you’re away, it’s because #Apple forgets that we are intelligent species, for most of us.
It would be nice if they stopped implementing bloody stupid intelligent shit.

Latest iOS26 beta is killin it on my iphone15 pro
Yikes, got a new #iPhone 16e earlier this month and am shocked + horrified to discover #iOS System Services / General has eaten 11 GB of my mobile data allowance! (Luckily my tariff (just) covers this!) •How• and •why•? That sort of excessive + potentially costly data use shouldn’t happen, #Apple!

Apply is shuttering a retail store in China for the first time ever, even as it looks to stage a comeback in a country grappling with deflationary pressures. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/07/29/companies/apple-close-store-china/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #companies #apple #china #iphone

iOS tip: If, while inside any app, you focus the status bar, Braille Screen Input will act as if you were on the homescreen, that is it will let you find and open any app. Great for multitasking. #Accessibility#Blind#iOS#iPhone

Dear Apple users,
No, your Apple iPhone is not more private, and YOU can prove it to yourself.
Sign up for either AdGuard DNS or Control D DNS, and enable logging. Be sure to use that DNS profile.
A fresh stock copy of iOS with no 3rd party apps installed will call home more than a Google Pixel or Microsoft Windows 11 Ltsc.

got my first iphone (and one of the very first iphones ever sold - launch day purchase in 2007!) back in my possession while I was in sydney
I still have my second iPhone, a 3GS. It's fun to get out now and then and bask in the glorious non-flat, detailed UI.
But I was hoping the silent button meant SILENT and was losing my mind when videos would start blasting but I think you just solved that too! (I won’t know until I randomly scroll over a dumb video, but I’m pretty confident that was it)!
Thank you again!
You could maybe make it run a Shortcut instead that toggles both the ringer and toggles the volume to and from 0%. You’d make that in the Shortcuts app.
Here’s Apple’s documentation on how to use and customize the button.

A friend with an iPhone want to read and write PGP-encrypted emails: what's the cheapest and simplest approach I can suggest him?
I know nothing about Apple products, but I guess they have a default mail agent. Yet I can't find online how to configure PGP.

FaceTime in iOS 26 will freeze your call if someone starts undressing https://9to5mac.com/2025/07/02/facetime-in-ios-26-will-freeze-your-call-if-someone-starts-undressing/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon
Another reason not to upgrade to iPhone 17 too, as Apple cultivates unpredictable policies - one might just end up with a piece of scrap-metal in your hands overnight.
