Could signing into iCloud for the first time on one device remotely enable Protect Mail Activity on another device already signed into iCloud?

It may sound far-fetched, but my Time Machine backups prove that the setting changed on the same day, and I can't think of any other explanation.

Wow, apparently Apple killed the iOS simulator???

Let's not overlook how Apple Intelligence is contributing to the AI insanity and thus the price increases for Apple products.

The timing of the MacBook Neo price increase is unfortunate, but I don't think it's a death knell for the device as some are suggesting. After all, iPad and MacBook Air received even worse price increases, so MacBook Neo is still a good deal relatively speaking, and surely Apple's device vendor competitors are suffering from the same component shortages.

I would assume that Apple decided to produce MacBook Neo long before it decided on these price increases.

Can we now all admit that AI is bad?

The phrase "working tirelessly" triggers me after the 2024 DNC

"iPad: $449 (up from $349)"

Damn! Good thing I bought a new iPad just last week.

"Apple TV 4K: $199 (up from $129)"

"Mac Studio (M3 Ultra): $5,299, up from $3,999"

Uffda

Wow, that was fast. Not sure why Apple even preannounced it.
