Apple has outlined[1] multiple levels of protection in place for this: 1. You have to reach a threshold of matches before your account is flagged. 2. Once the threshold is reached, the matched images are checked against a different perceptu

There are some features for group messaging on iMessage that aren’t available in Group MMS. If you add a non-iMessage user to your group, the group downgrades to using Group MMS, which does still work for basic messaging, but the group lose

I think the really interesting question here is why does an iPad Pro have 16 GB of RAM at all? The previous generation of iPad Pros maxed out at 6 GB, so this is quite a jump. Adding Thunderbolt support is also a bit of a mystery. I suspect

Apple has a well known exception to the rule requiring an option to subscribe inside the app for “reader” apps, a vaguely defined which includes Netflix, Spotify, Dropbox, and seemingly whatever else is convenient to Apple. Apple did not li
