Here’s the thing: wouldn’t it just be good business to offer everyone the same choices no matter where they live? It’s not as if Apple was making two different iPhones to try to appeal to different cultural preferences. It’s making one iPhone that’s more flexible and customizable, and one that isn’t.
Maybe, bit by bit, Apple will cave in and offer parity the way it did with emulators. But think the company should make an uncharacteristic move: drop the charade and let everyone, everywhere have the same iPhone. It would be bold! Courageous, even! But most importantly, it would be a lot more fun.
As someone who finds myself juggling between putting things on Calendar, writing them down in Apple Notes, or setting a reminder, I think this app is pretty helpful. It aims to simplify things, giving you a centralized place to just jot down whatever in a pinch.
In a major step toward the long-awaited fourth season of Apple TV+’s hugely popular soccer comedy, the series’ studio Warner Bros.

Apple failed to create a new product category with its self-driving car project, which was shuttered earlier this year. But the effort did spark an intriguing question within the company: If Apple products can move around on their own, what new experiences could be created?

The work on robots is led by Kevin Lynch, Apple’s vice president of technology, who previously ran the car team as well as watch software engineering. He reports to Apple’s AI chief and works alongside robotics teams within the hardware engineering division. Recently, Apple has hired top robotics experts from places like Technion in Israel.
The more demands from different regulators in different jurisdictions on Apple's iOS, the more lines of codes Apple will need to write. If Apple continue to maintain one single iOS for everyone and not fork the operating system, there will be tons of codes all over the place. Which means more potentials for bugs. Which means potentially more attack surfaces.
I hope Apple's security continue to be sound. If there are security issues with, say, the alternate app stores in the EU, iPhones outside of the EU shouldn't be affected even before the issues are fixed by Apple.
