Ich versuche die Funktionen der iOS Geräte zu kategorisieren, aus Nutzersicht. iPhone kommt ja von Telefon, und hat sein Dasein der #Kommunikation zu verdanken. Das ist die wichtigste Kategorie, sie umfasst telefonieren - wo ein Umstieg („de-apple“ oder #unplugtrump) nicht komplex sein dürfte. Dann kommen #iMessage (abgeschaltet, aber da tut‘s schon weh) und #FaceTime (naja) und… #Email (#iCloud alias Apple ID). Anderes ist ursprünglich nicht dem originären Zweck des Geräts zugedacht…

#unplugtrump15 - Ausgangslage:
Technikaffin - ja
Nerd - nein
#iCloud - rund 10€ / Monat für 2 Terrabyte, von denen weniger als die Hälfte benötigt wird
Familie - eingerichtet mit Frau, K1, K2, K3 und „Oma“, alle nutzen „meine“ iCloud und (immer seltener) meine Expertise
#AppleMusic - dito, wird geteilt
Sippe - meine beiden Geschwisterfamilien mit weiteren 4 Nichten und Neffen sowie die Schwiegertiger sind betroffen (bspw geteilte Alben, „Support“).
Also: #noapple = sozial komplexer Kontext.

…die erste Frage ist, welche Aufgaben und Probleme stellen sich überhaupt, wenn ich auf die Dienste von #Apple, #iOS, #iCloud und #Macbook / #MacOS einmal verzichten werde?
Mal sehen was mir selbst dazu eingefallen ist, worüber ich bereits grüble, und was euch dazu noch einfällt. Bin schon gespannt. Mal sehen wo es dann echt weh tun wird. Und wo es kompliziert wird.

Apple TV+ is losing $1 billion annually. Apple Music is barely profitable. Apple News+, Fitness+ and Apple Arcade don't have much usage.

My family subscribes to Apple One, mainly for iCloud+, Music and to some extent News+. I used Fitness+ sporadically and Arcade is something that anyone in the family uses. If I stop playing the mini crossword, I wouldn't be in News+ very much. It would be cheaper for me to get iCloud+ and Music -- and this maybe something I do in the near future.

"The report adds that most users do not sign up directly for Apple's services, instead opting for an Apple One bundle, which inflates the perceived interest in each service. Many who sign up to ‌Apple One‌ are motivated to subscribe so primarily because of ‌iCloud‌+ rather than other services. Without ‌Apple One‌, ‌Apple Arcade‌ and Apple Fitness+ would not be profitable."

UK’s secret iCloud backdoor order triggers civil rights challenge.

The UK government’s secret order to Apple demanding it backdoor the end-to-end encrypted version of its iCloud storage service is challenged by two civil rights groups, Liberty and Privacy International.

They called the order “unacceptable and disproportionate” and warned of “global consequences” as it's thought to extend to non-UK users too.

#linux wird gerade bei mir an allen Ecken und Enden ein Thema. Nicht, weil ich nicht mit meinen Apple-Geräten zufrieden wäre - ganz im Gegenteil.
Aber für meinen alten #iMac (Mitte 2011, i5 2,7GHz, 24 GB RAM, AMD Radeon HD6770M 512MB, 1TB), denn #OCLP ist schon auf HighSierra und extrem lahm.

Ich nutze vor allem
- #obsidian
- Browser (#librewolf )
- Mail-Client über imap
- #icloud (liefe über Snap)
- irgendein Office (ich gebe zu, dass ich mit #LibreOffice hadere)
- #elgato StreamDeck

@sebsauvage @titaniumbiscuit not all classic e-mail providers work equally well but many do. Since #chatmail entered the global e-mail server network 14 months ago, and we introduced instant-onboarding april 2024, we de-emphasize #gmail #outlook and #iCloud and don't perform "free" work to help them continue to dominate. Instead we put our energy into growing the chatmail server network which does away with spam/rate-limit problems by design. Everything is based on #interoperable #cryptography .

End-to-end #encryption battle continues.

#Apple appeals a United Kingdom government order to create a back door in the #iCloud storage service. As we learned last month, those pesky Brits are demanding Apple break its end-to-end encryption, also known as Advanced Data Protection (#ADP).

(We only know this because secret sources spoke to Tim Bradshaw and Lucy Fisher. Said secret sources revealed the secret complaint to the UK’s Investigatory Powers Tribunal, appealing the secret order—in secret.)

As always with attempts to break #E2EE, the math ain’t mathing. In #SBBlogwatch, we worry about dumb pols: securityboulevard.com/2025/03/

Apple is challenging UK’s iCloud encryption backdoor order.

Apple is challenging a UK Government data access order in the Investigatory Powers Tribunal (IPT). The order targeted iCloud backups that are protected by end-to-end encryption.

UK officials are exercising powers they hold via national security surveillance legislation to try to force the iPhone maker to provide data in the clear to law enforcement.
