    Apple Scrolling is the thing Apple got “Most” right

    Scrolling is the thing Apple got “Most” right

    After years of iOS, I still feel like the thing that makes Apple / iOS feel "magical, natural, fast..." (pick your adjective), is the natural and fluid way UIScrollView works. The acceleration, bounce and smoothness is just so natural that it intuitively makes the experience just feel better.

    In contrast the ridged scrolling on android feels "broken".

    I just purchased a car with a touchscreen that can be upgraded to Apple CarPlay, but I haven't been able to do that yet (I'm driving the car home from New York to Minnesota and am currently somewhere in Illinois)

    I have noticed the scroll has a slight lag to it. I'm curious when I upgrade if that lag will be resolved or if it's due to different hardware from the manufacturer.

    Apple appears to censors air quality data for users in China

    Posted: 29 Jan 2018 06:38 PM PST

    Since iOS 11.1 or maybe 11.2, I've noticed that Apple's weather and Maps default apps will intermittently censor air quality data for users in China. All other weather information remains available, but the AQI rating disappears. Alarmingly, this seems to occur more often when the AQI reaches levels that are defined as Very Unhealthy, and Hazardous.

    Examples screenshots taken while writing this post for two different cities that are located close to each other. Both were taken with VPN and location services turned on, and display information from the same source (The Weather Channel):

    Suzhou (current AQI ~260/Very Unhealthy)

    Changzhou

    I can't quite figure out the exact conditions that lead to the information being censored or not. It's definitely localised to different cities, and appears to be done based on GPS location, as opposed to IP based location information. Turning off location services, restarting, and then accessing the apps with a VPN turned on makes the AQI data reappear.

    If this is intentional, as opposed to some sort of technical problem (unlikely, but I can't rule it out), I'm certain Apple is simply conforming with local regulations. Much like the recent moves to remove VPN apps from the Chinese Appstore, and provide access to iCloud data for all users in China (including international accounts unless they opt out). It's clear Apple considers China an important market, and this is what they need to do to continue to operate in China.

    However, I think it's worth considering the ethics of this move, and how it reflects on Apple as a company. Accessing this information is not about undermining the Communist Party. This is information that helps approximately 131 million iPhone users in China make decisions about their personal health and wellbeing. I'm disappointed that a company that currently sets the industry standards for privacy and data management in other countries, can compromise so much on those ideals in pursuit of profits in China.

    How do I completely uninstall something? Like on a Pc if you have any software it deletes everything in the Add and Remove section. How do I get rid of everything left behind from an app? How do I find old apps folders that I deleted but had no Idea they were leaving crap behind?
