China is developing a tool to track users despite Apple's restrictions
The Financial Times says the China Advertising Association has developed a tool that enables developers to bypass Apple's restrictions on user tracking; In a few weeks, with the release of iOS 14.5, Apple will force the developer to show a notification asking the user to allow him to track it, a message that is expected to be rejected and thus harmful to advertisers and developers; But the company ByteDance, developer of the famous TikTok application, sent a guide to developers in which it explained that it would provide a tool called CAID that would enable them to track the user without the need to access the traditional IDFA that Apple puts restrictions on accessing him. For its part, Apple refused to comment on the news, but said that nothing would be excluded from the privacy rules, but a developer of CAID said that it does not violate Apple's privacy regulations, so it is illogical for the company to attack it.
Bloomberg: The next generation of iPad Pro next month
A Bloomberg report said that next month Apple will launch a new generation of iPad Pro 11-inch and 12.9-inch; The new devices will be in the same design as the current version, but there will be internal changes, the most important of which is that the USB C port will become Thunderbolt, allowing it to transfer data faster as well as connect to larger devices (the Thunderbolt works the same design as C) as well as Apple will improve cameras and Apple may advance Mini-LED screens step up.

Monitor your iMac with an ARM processor
As usual, code analyzers can access devices coming from Apple. A code analyst named Dennis Oberhoff discovered within the XCode programming program that there is a file device called iMac-ARM64, and the 9To5Mac site examined the file and discovered that it was indeed intact and that the device in which the malfunction occurred that the file was running with an ARM64 processor and the device family is already iMac. So, is Apple's decision to discontinue the iMac Pro as part of a plan to introduce a whole new generation of iMac family that works with Apple's M processors?
Goodbye HomePod
After 3 years of failed service in Apple’s history, the HomePod could not, as its market share by the end of 2019 was less than 5%, and it rose in the last quarter of 2020 with the help of the mini version to become 7.8%, prompting Apple to take a strict decision. Bye, HomePod will not be produced again, and only the small and economical HomePod Mini will continue to be offered. Of course, stopping HomePod does not mean that Apple will give up this field, but the suspension is because it does not make sense to continue providing an old headphone that has failed for 3 years; It must be stopped until a new generation is prepared that will sell Apple well.

Will we see the speaker soon as Kang said, or will Kuo continue his meticulous analyzes?

This week’s news is very hot and special. Greetings to you and your editors, brother Tariq
My fourth comment on the issue of loyalty and its ratio between Samsung and Apple, and as I used many Samsung devices previously and moved XNUMX years ago to Apple, and I am currently making my additional device from Huawei (in order to stay in constant contact with the Android system), I can say that Samsung is the one that The result is the result of its speed, and sometimes the poor quality of its mobile materials, and the thinness of its modifications to the installed Android system of some models of its devices, which consequently negatively affected its customers compared to other companies, and if we look at Huawei, we find that it has avoided Samsung's mistakes. It is rising to the top soon if you have not reached it already
Poor quality? The largest consumer evaluation institutions in the world always evaluate Samsung phones more highly than Apple, even with the problem of slowing the phone, it is a flimsy issue. You must try a modern phone from Samsung in order to judge it
Rich and informative newsgroup
May Allah reward you
As for the third, it is about the speed of icons in the XNUMXG field. In my opinion, and through the experience of several devices here in Kuwait, the speed has reached an average in the speed tests to about XNUMX megabytes, and this is an excellent speed. And compare it
Always debunked iPhone slow to call
Secondly, with regard to Intel videos, instead of focusing Intel on how to make its processors stronger and faster (Apple processors outperformed all types of processors), they focus on the absurdity that many companies have previously fallen into, where they mock Apple and then do the same.
Intel is the inventor of the century processors
“Apple's processors outperformed all processors,” no incorrect
First, regarding the issue of the words of the managers of car companies, it seems that they did not learn from the lessons of the market, where the largest companies collapsed due to their narrow horizons and their belief that they are indomitable, and their vanity, which leads them to oblivion, and we give the example of Microsoft Palm devices that were operating on The Windows system, which was issued many years before the iPhone, and after the iPhone it ceased to exist, and then before the period of the Windows Mobile System disappeared, companies must follow a smart strategy based on respecting the mind of the consumer and giving him the quality he deserves in exchange for his money to enjoy the commodity and not suffer malfunctions And poor quality
Who is the Toyota representative for me? Apple will distribute it from the car market if it wants
Imagine when Apple enters the automotive field, it will become with Toyota the same as what happened with Nokia, and because of it, the company closes
Who would be manufacturing a car like manufacturing a cell phone at that time Apple dared compete with Mercedes or Toyota,
A company that makes a car and doesn't even have a car garage !!
The scents of Hyundai and Kia are in agreement, and it makes 10 and 20 cars that click on them.
Cars are a completely different business, machines, parts, after-sales spare parts, and their money is the first and not the next. And the American car market in general is unsuccessful and unwanted.
Maybe in just XNUMX years, the Toyota president will bow to Tim Cook. Lessons in the past tell everyone that they should never diminish Apple. As for me, I do not see a single company in this world that has the qualifications to achieve a better future except the apple.
Hi
I want to inquire about the Aselati app when it will be updated because it has become old and does not support the latest version of the iPhone. The site does not work properly with the new version of the iPhone
Young people after them do not understand that Apple does not look at others and its policy is not based on competition with others, but on internal self-competition, so each product is better than the one before it, so they are in continuous progress of course, mistakes happen, but development is a continuous approach for them regardless of competitors
Even though I am a Toyota fan, I say to the Director: Special greetings from the Nokia manager 🤪
Thank you for the article 💐🌹🌷
Gives you a wellness
It is normal for loyalty to a company to reach its peak
Apple is a respected company and its devices are worth every penny rush in
The Android world is a gloomy world to be honest (don't upset the Android community here) .That's the truth,
Your phones are junk and bleak of everything
The system is scrap
And internal hardware scrap 😁
As for the designs of your phones, I don't know frankly how you can use them and look at them 😁
As for the reason that leads to the shift of the Android group to the iPhone is:
The presence of a mass migration of Android owners to the iPad (iPad 6, iPad 7, iPad 8 and iPad Air 4) specifically to play the game of PUBG. After that, they are surprised by the beauty of the iPad, its elegant store, the quality of its applications and its smoothness, so it thinks about buying the iPhone and trying it, then curse the mother of Android 😁
Frankly, your opinion is beautiful and clear
No, my brother, I disagree with you that the two use the Android system, which is nice and has beauty other than the iPhone system. It is true that I am inclined to the iPhone more distorted, but your words contain a darkness of the Android devices and an open system in which freedom and applications are very similar to each other
Brother Nasser, I have a simple question ..
You say that Android phones are junk and so on ..
Maybe cheap devices and Chinese devices are junk ... But what about powerful and high-end devices, especially the galaxy note ultra?
Is it also junk? If it is, then I ask you to clarify and state the reasons
May God bless you, my brother
Are you fully conscious when you wrote this comment?
Did you know that Apple's hardware from ROM, RAM, Motherboard, screen and cameras are all from companies that manufacture Android, especially Samsung ??
Did you know that if Google, the developer of the Android system, made its 50 or 60 apps and services a monopoly on Android, then there would be no remaining iPhone user?
Did you know that the Android system is according to personal use as I own a mid-range phone from Samsung and a higher class from Apple, which is my primary system, and the iPhone with its iOS system? Is my subscriber device only purchased for FaceTime?
