Apple wants to protect privacy — Facebook wants to 'inflict pain'
4
Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, literally wants to inflict pain on Apple, on Tim Cook. To make them hurt. To lobby the government against them, to claim anti-trust, to do everything they can to paint Apple dirty. Why?

Rene Ritchie: Why I'm all in on iPhone 12 Pro Max

A lot of us — myself included — are having a hard time choosing between the iPhone 12 Pro and the iPhone 12 Pro Max. Especially now that pre-orders are less than a week away. So, here's why I'm personally choosing the iPhone 12 Pro Max this year.
Forward to the past

We knew this was coming. Everybody knew this was coming. Ever since the moment we saw the updated iPad Pro a couple of years ago — the iPhone 4 and iPhone 5-style squared off sides have returned.
