Japan follows the EU's lead to allow side-loading of apps
Japan is reportedly working on antitrust legislation aimed at forcing Apple to allow side-loading of apps and alternative payment methods for in-app purchases. The Japan Fair Trade Commission's focus is to address Apple and Google's dominance in app stores, payments, search, browsers and operating systems. Proposed regulations would require Apple to allow users in Japan to use alternative app stores, effectively enabling sideloading on iPhone and iPad. The legislation also aims to impose fines on companies, especially Apple, estimated at 6% of revenues gained from actions deemed to be a violation of the rules set by the legislation. The intent is to impose a financial penalty that will serve as a deterrent for companies to engage in practices that could be considered anticompetitive or monopolistic.
The Fair Trade Commission plans to finalize the legislation in the spring, and parliamentary approval is required for it to come into force in 2024. This is similar to the EU Digital Markets Act (DMA), which mandates side-loading of apps in the EU by March 2024 and imposes significant changes. Others on Apple.

Apple wants to partner with major publishers to train artificial intelligence
Apple wants to create an intelligent assistant like ChatGPT but needs a lot of textual content to train it. According to reports from The New York Times, Apple has reached out to major publishers, including Condé Nast, NBC News, and IAC, to negotiate deals that would allow the company to use news content to train its generative AI systems. Apple is seeking multi-year agreements and deals worth at least $50 million, and aims to license archives of news articles for integration into its artificial intelligence.

Miscellaneous news
◉ The 2027 Apple Vision Pro will feature advanced RGB OLEDoS display technology, a significant improvement over the first generation model. This technology improves brightness and efficiency by producing light and color directly from RGB subpixels, eliminating the need for a color filter. Samsung, the sole supplier of RGB OLEDoS displays, is likely to supply them to Apple. Analysts, including Ming-Chi Kuo, expect the updated Apple Glass to launch in 2027, suggesting there will be no updates until then.
◉ Apple has obtained an additional 70 design patents in Hong Kong related to the Apple Vision Pro. Among them is a never-before-seen accessory, featuring a design that matches the headband of glasses. The accessory uses soft-touch fabric to cover the front and sides of the glasses, easy to remove and install, except for the back. Its purpose appears to be to protect the EyeSight screen from scratches and damage. Another patent depicts a battery design for the Vision Pro, which is often confused with the new MagSafe batteries. The design highlights a recessed port, which emphasizes the possibility of removing the cable.
◉ To bring iMessage features to Android, the developers of the Beeper Mini app are trying a new approach to allowing users to access iMessage. Users will be required to create their own iMessage login data using jailbroken Apple devices. Initially, Android users could sign up for Beeper Mini using their phone numbers, but Apple closed that option. Now, Beeper suggests that users get an old iPhone, jailbreak it via a jailbreak, and install a free Beeper tool to generate an iMessage registration code. If there is no old iPhone, Beeper plans to offer the service for a monthly fee. Apple views the Beeper Mini as a security risk and has opposed its use of iMessage. As Apple embraces RCS to bring iMessage features to Android conversations, Beeper faces challenges in maintaining user interest.

Greetings, I bought an iPhone 13 Pro Max
Model number MLF93LL/A
Serial number RQMWPWQN21
Is it an original iPhone?
Hello Fares Al-Janabi 👋🏻, to verify the authenticity of the phone, you can go to the phone settings, then general, then about. In this section, you should find the model number and serial number of the phone. Compare this information with the information provided to us. If they match, the phone is most likely original. 😊📱
I have activated iTunes and AppStore but there is no result. It asks for the Apple ID password when trying to download a program and in every case the Face ID sign does not appear and it continues to ask for the Apple ID password every time I try to download an application. Please guide me on what to do. Thank you for that.
Hello Fares Al-Janabi 🙋♂️ Apparently you are having a problem activating the Face ID feature for the App Store and iTunes applications. First, make sure your device supports Face ID. Second, make sure that Face ID is enabled in your device settings (Settings > Face ID & Passcode). If everything is correct so far, go to Settings > Your Name > iTunes & App Store and make sure that the “Face ID” option is enabled. Good luck! 🍀📱
My phone, the iPhone 13 Pro Max, every time I download a program that asks for the password for the Apple ID account. How do I make it depend on two presses of the side key and Face ID?
Hello Fares Al-Janabi, 🙋♂️ In order to be able to use Face ID or Touch ID instead of a password when downloading applications, you must activate this feature from the settings. Follow these steps: Go to “Settings” > “Face ID & Passcode” or “Touch ID & Passcode.” Then activate the “iTunes and App Store” option. 📲😉
