Apple Is Probably Planning to Make Its Own WiFi Chip For the iPhone 17

I recently drove a car whose whole control and entertainment system was a gigantic iPad-like thing mounted to the dash. It caused me to have a realisation about the #Ui and #UX of touch screens.

There is no way to touch a touchscreen without it treating that touch as intentional. What I mean is: without taking my eyes off the road, I can grope across the dashboard, find a knob or button—by touching it—without activating any function. Touching the volume button or temperature knob doesn’t DO anything until I do it with more force and intentionality. Not so for a #touchscreen.

My mobile #phone (an #iPhone 13) has no dead space in its face. There’s no part of the phone face I can touch without it assuming I meant to do that and I wanted to activate whatever was under my finger. Old iPhones that had physical home buttons also had dead space to either side: a safe space to hold the phone without DOING anything.

Computer keyboard have little raised pips on the F and J keys so you can find them by touch without looking. I do this all the time. But I don’t type the letters F or J. Touch screens have no such affordances.

I look at the #blackberry keyboard in this photo and I see a raised space bar. It’s an #affordance that lets you orient your fingers, and orient how you hold the phone, without looking.

I miss buttons.

Watched the iPhone 16e video over lunch, looking at comparison now. I like how the camera array distinguishes the models 3-2-1. Selling C1 modem on efficiency is a smart move, competing where Qualcomm does not. Didn’t think I’d need a reason other than size to scratch this off consideration, but lack of MagSafe doesn’t work for me (which shows how I’ve flipped on that). More price shaving shown with 4-core GPU, presumably binned. Still, definitely seems worthy of 16 name.

The UK Home Office (interior ministry) appears to have forgotten entirely about the "independent" Technical Advisory Board #TAB whose advice it legally must take when #Apple appeals its secret order ("Technical Capability Notice” leaked to the Washington Post) to compromise #iPhone/ #ADP security worldwide to enable future surveillance by the UK 🤡🤡

Whenever I ask Mastodon a question about IT I end up feeling like a woman asking a very specific question about SETI@Home scripting in a 1999 internet chatroom*.

Anyway. Can the MS Teams and / or Okta apps be used to (partly) wipe data from an iPhone (without mdm).

*hint: she will not receive an answer nor return. She will however receive tips on how a trackball is superior to a mouse.

Just a reminder, especially in this wild time we live in. DO NOT INSTALL WORK MDM ON YOUR PERSONAL DEVICE.
If your work requires Microsoft Intune or similar MDM, to get email/teams/slack. don't accept it. It opens your device up for them to access private data and disable/delete your phone (even if they say they wont, they can)

Are you using a third-party browser on iOS? I'm giving Orion a spin, and it's quite good.
