iPhone 14 Pro
I ordered a new iPhone! 14 Pro it is, to replace the original iPhone SE that I bought in April 2016. Loving the Dynamic Island.

Tim Cook’s letter to customers
One of my Facebook friends posted the link to this interesting Tim Cook’s letter to Apple’s customers. I am shocked by these two paragraphs: …now the U.S. government has asked us for something we simply do not have, and something we consider too dangerous to create.

Tim Cook on privacy at Apple
Read the interesting message from Tim Cook on Apple’s stance on privacy. I am impressed with the following two paragraphs: Our business model is very straightforward: We sell great products. We don’t build a profile based on your email content or web browsing habits to sell to advertisers. We don’t “monetize” the information you store on… Read more
