Good reminder though, downloading the latest non security update now. How’s the latest Android? It’s great that Apple care enough to update their customers and make it so easy, works for everyone.

It doesn't, TP's a *****. He makes out like no other OLED suffers burn in, it's rife and a downside to OLED's, one of the many reasons Apple didn't use them earlier. They all do that to differing degree's and I'll place a bet that the Apple display manufactured by Samsung is as good if not better than anything Samsung produce. That tit thinks Samsung keep back two year old displays for Apple, oh please, grow up.

Hey TP, if you come on an Apple product thread, I've bought one and it's great, expect me to say it's great. OK.

Such a sucker. You think OLED stood still? No change from 2013? Or are you saying that because you didn’t like something when it was a bit ****, you can’t like it when you improve it to your taste? Either way you’re a ****.

Its more a case of Apple saying it was perfectly or 100% secure and as usual hackers proving that's it's definitely not, happens every time a new security feature is released. Fingerprint security can also be bypassed too on all devices if you have the time.

When did Apple say any security was 100% secure? Never. Even as a washed out ex security expert I can tell you that nothing is 100% secure, but it’s easier to be more secure using Apple products.

Yea of course they didn't say 100%, they always very carefully word their security claims, so that when it does go **** up like this, they have covered their own *****.

Its just in their marketing bs it does suggest how secure it is, plus all the modeling work they did with 3rd parties, machine learning lol, all of which is obviously more bs.

Intresting concept that Apple are not tech company at all , theyre there as investment / financial tool - just cobbling together bits from various manufacturers

Come on / your ranting on about margins on a car forum , Christ the mark up in the automotive industry is epic .
Look Apple are the biggest corporate tax payers global .. the only way they could achieve this is if they had a customer supply / demand base
I guess a 100 million people can’t all be fan boys & wrong as you put it
You need a big hug TP.....

Yes they are but they are still the biggest tax payer globally which is what seems to make them think they should be allowed to get away with the tax avoidance they currently do

How did Samsung react to the simple bypass of their retina scan? I don’t recall you talking much about that and you own one. I guess that was bull****, much harder to crack than you’re whole face. Lol.

Lots of people at Apple paying a lot of tax, think of the business rates for their stores alone, Samsung you’re mailing it in.

Yes I was about to post the same, 3rd highest in 2016 only behind 2 oil companies but that's only in the US, Apple claim globally they are the highest tax payers.

Group hug *******.

These mobile devices have come a long way. I’ve borrowed a weak laser, so it needs to be pretty dark. The AR measuring was very accurate, angles, levels and spans.

It’s not normal behaviour I’m pretty sure TP actually spends more time looking a Apple related articles than Jack does.
