WHAT TO EXPECT FROM APPLE'S BIG EVENT ON SEPTEMBER 9TH

I just installed it right now! I love the new update! Most of this message was typed with the learning text.

Apple CEO Tim Cook wrote an open letter to customers Wednesday detailing the company's privacy policy.

One portion of the letter sticks out in particular, and it's a clear jab at the way Google does business. Cook writes that many internet services are free, but use your personal data to market products to you.

"You are the product," Cook writes, referring to internet services like that.

That's how Google operates. Its algorithms scan your email, web searches, etc. in order to show you relevant ads. Facebook has a similar model.

Here's the key part of the letter:

A few years ago, users of Internet services began to realize that when an online service is free, you’re not the customer. You’re the product. But at Apple, we believe a great customer experience shouldn’t come at the expense of your privacy.

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 your iPhone or in iCloud. And we don’t read your email or your messages to get information to market to you. Our software and services are designed to make our devices better. Plain and simple.

Apple's stance is to do the opposite and never look at your data.

Still, there are always tradeoffs. Google and Facebook make great products that you get to use for free. You might not pay money to Google and Facebook, but you do give up a little bit of yourself in order to make your digital life easier.

 

Havent got my tracking number, but was promised a friday delivery

 

I have to wait till November. I may just wait in line! Haha

 

I downloaded iOS8 on my wife and kids iPhones/iPads last night. Quick and easy!

My iPhone 6 Plus shipping status has now moved up to early October! Woo hoo!

 

WOW THIS IS AMAZING! I remember Mags talking about something similar, but I thought it was bullshit. Not anymore! Now it's awesome!!!

 

LMAO the entire phone could self destruct! SPARKS WOULD BE FLYING!

Obviously the tag line "The Next Big Thing" is from a Samsung fanboy.

 

Too late. Poor HCP.

 

Downloaded iOS8. Not used to the keyboard yet. Mostly seems the same on first glance. The suggested typing shit is new? hah. didn't even notice that.

Moving the bookmark tab to the left side on safari sucks. As well as it being a side bar instead of a drop down

 

My ipad is noticeably slower after the iOS8 upgrade.

 

It is really bad on the 4S that the people in my office have. Heard Apple didn't want to allow it for the 4S but had to so they could also allow it for some older version of the iPad.

 

Not sure why that would matter. Just what I heard.

 

I'm currently downloading to go back to iOS7.

 

That's weird cause mine seem faster. Is your iPad a lower generation? I installed it on my mini, 5s, iPad 3rd gen and all are noticeably faster
