Apple in 2019 and the future of iPhone

referring to That winning strategy of the past also appears to be the best suited for the future of iPhone. But rather than Apple doing what the ignoranti observed Google doing, Apple instead continued developing support for HTML5 H.264 and Bluetooth 4 In part, Apple's support made those technologies the winners in their respective fields. Android was supposed to foster rapid innovation across the industry outside of Apple but largely hasn't. When those things start to happen, Apple might create problems for itself, settling down to mediocre complacency and eventually falling behind.That's not happening yet. Apple is now competing against a media-created boogeyman that's supposedly "winning" by way of selling lots of volume while barely making any profits.

Apple being sued because two-factor authentication on an iPhone or Mac takes too much time

Two-factor authentication on an iPad and iPhoneEmail sent to user after two-factor authentication is activated on an iCloud accountFirst, Plaintiff has to enter his selected password on the device he is interested in logging in. Each login process takes an additional estimated 2-5 or more minutes with 2FA." The suit, filed by Jay Brodsky in California alleges that Apple doesn't get user consent to enable two-factor authentication. However, neither macOS El Capitan nor iOS 9 released in the timeframe put forth by the filer mandated two-factor authentication, nor implemented it without an explicit and multiple-step opt-in procedure requiring the user to consent. The process took 22 seconds in total to accomplish.The filer believes that Apple has interfered with the use of the device with the "extraneous login process through two-factor authentication" that has been "imposed" on the class.

Apple Patents New iPhone Laser Display Upgrade

As it stated in The shared technology is vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs) and Apple explains how they can be used as part of a system to detect the tiny deformations in surface structure as finger pressure is applied to a screen. AppleInsider pins this technology to the advancement of 3D Touch, but that is widely expected to be cancelledInstead, its integration into Apple's work on in-display Touch ID seems a better fit. As such, it seems an unlikely coincidence that Apple invested $390 million in VCSEL producer Finisar in early 2018 not to step up development of these components. Needless to say, until Tim Cook holds up an iPhone on stage incorporating this new VCSEL tech, plans can change. That said, critics already have their knives out for a seemingly uninspired 2019 iPhone, so Apple's desire to release a major upgrade it doesn't hate must be burning...___Follow Gordon on Twitter, Facebook and Google+More On ForbesApple's Foldable New iPhone Suddenly Takes ShapeApple Leak Reveals Surprise Product(Red) iPhone ReleaseApple 'Confirms' iPhone 7, iPhone 8 Hardware ChangesiPhone 11 Leak Claims Slow Charging, High Prices RemainApple Discusses Making iPhone Price Cuts

Soor: A Third-Party Apple Music Client for iPhone

Soor, a third-party client for Apple Music created by indie developer Tanmay Sonawane, is based upon a fascinating premise: unlike other standalone music players for iPhone, Soor works with Apple's native MusicKit API, enabling direct integration with Apple Music; unlike Apple's Music app though, Soor prioritizes one-handed gestures, user customization, and a single-page design that packs multiple sections into one view. Two years later, it's fair to say music utilities have benefited from MusicKit's native integration with Apple Music and the user's local music library, but alternative clients have fared better on a platform where an Apple Music app is not available – the open web. I suppose this is a logical consequence: from a user's perspective, it makes more sense to gain access to Apple Music on a platform that doesn't have a dedicated, built-in Music app than to install an alternative Apple Music player on an iPhone, which already has a pre-installed, full-featured app from Apple. What's for certain is that Soor is a $10 iPhone app (it doesn't support the iPad in this first version) that is advertised as having "full Apple Music support" while in reality it's a music player that integrates with Apple Music but lacks dozens of features that make up the modern Apple Music experience. But if you're a heavy Apple Music user, Soor's approach, despite its beauty and cleverness, is too limited to replace Apple's Music app today.
