    Why do you think Apple wants to make a Tile competitor?

    Posted: 05 Sep 2019 03:09 PM PDT

    I've been finding these rumors that Apple may be making a Tile-like tracker pretty puzzling. It seems like a very un-Apple thing to do. Apple rarely mentions non-Apple devices at all, I can't them getting on stage and talking about how this new device will help you track your keys or backpack, or even more unlikely, your fancy camera. That just seems so off brand compared to the types of problems they want to solve and the lifestyle they market, where your iPhone and other Apple devices (all of which can already be GPS tracked) are the center of your life.

    I do think it'll be a great little device, but Tile already works well and I don't understand why Apple feels the need to enter this space at all. It's probably a pretty tiny market compared to iPhones and Watches. Why not just open up the "Find My" app to third parties and let them compete in it? Maybe even do an MFI licensing thing you really want a piece of the pie.

    What do you think?

    Will Apple focus their initial AR push on youngsters?

    Posted: 05 Sep 2019 07:54 AM PDT

    Microsoft found a niche for Holo in the commercial market primarily because the current state of tech is expensive and bulky. That market works because they care less about style and more about functionality.

    My theory is If Apple wants to break into the AR market they could focus on a different niche (gaming and TV for teens) to address the same problem while avoiding direct competition with Microsoft.

    AR computing power is built into the majority of devices owned by Apple customers today, and rumors suggest these devices will power Apple's AR headset.

    Teens interested in gaming and new tech will flock to Apple AR well before their parents would which is why gaming and TV are perfect niches to begin the consumer push. The AR "accessory" is a great Christmas/Holiday gift if a parent has to choose between that and an expensive new Xbox or PlayStation (not to mention those consoles need a TV to work).

    AppleID security vulnerability ignored by apple

    Posted: 05 Sep 2019 07:09 PM PDT

    Hello all,

    AppleID unique identifier email address can be easily changed by any associated Apple Device, without entering any password, cannot be tracked, and impossible to recover.

    Here's what happened: Last night I received an email notification that my work AppleID and associated email addresses had changed – a change not made by me. When I attempted to log into my account I received a message stating my AppleID was invalid. When I attempted recreate my account with the same ID I was denied and received an error stating my account already existed.

    After talking to multiple Apple support reps for 2 hours, Apple was unable to locate my account and said to ignore the email as my account didn't exist (genius).

    Shortly after I received a notification from a colleague who informed me that this work account was logged into the iPhone he just received and that this phone was being used by his 10 year old daughter. She had unknowingly reset my work AppleID, password and emails - all without being asked verify account credentials.

    I reproduced the behavior on both my other iPhones - if I wanted to replace email addresses associated with the account or change my AppleID, there was no password prompt. An email was sent to the new AppleID email as "confirmation" of the change - that is all someone has to do to take over the account. The notification content sent to the previous AppleID only stated that the AppleID has been changed, with no other information regarding what it has been changed to, or any way to stop the change (ie, Was this you? Yes/No). Also, to reset an AppleID password you do not have to supply the current password.

    On top of it all, Apple does not internally track the history pertaining to an AppleID. Combined with the fact the message content sent to the original AppleID email address does not mention the new AppleID, Apple support can't look up the account.

    I was told to ignore the email sent to the old AppleID; meaning any fraudulent activities could continue on longer without being addressed.

    I was floored - my account was compromised by a child. Apple told me the iOS is working "as expected". This is the AppleID we're talking about, the most basic unique identifier to your account info to your Apple "ecosystem" - your contacts, your iMessage, your iCloud, your app purchase, your applePay, etc. If anyone who has access to ANY device linked to the AppleID, they can change the AppleID without any additional security verification; then this is the worst/careless design flaw. And Apple support won't even acknowledge it.

    Here are my view on the potential areas to address:

    Security prompt / current AppleID password entry should be required for changing a AppleID password/email

    • a. AppleID/password changes should be independent behavior from Device password, therefore should be secured separately.
    • b. Also, having all apple Device ability to change AppleID without password is many-folds higher chances of stolen or shared devices being compromised, both unintentionally and intentionally.

    Apple should log the from/to relationship info for AppleID/email changes

    • a. In a situation where an account is compromised maliciously, I would never be informed of the new AppleID, only that it had been changed. Thus I could never recover my information, AKA all is lost.

    Apple should give user ability/option to stop the change in AppleID in the content sent to the original AppleID address.

    • a. Google sends a notice to verify legitimacy of action in (Yes/No) form whenever a new device is logged in using a GMail account - and that's just for log-in. Something similar should definitely be done for as critical of a change as AppleID.

    Apple should clearly specify the new AppleID email address in the content sent to the old email address.

    • a. There should be no reason why this is a privacy issue. AppleID contains all private info of a user, as mentioned above. If these are transferred, the destination should definitely be known to the original owner. And of course, this would require Apple to actually track this information first, which is not currently done.

    TLDR - One of my Apple accounts was recently compromised and after speaking to apple multiple times my complaints fall on deaf ears.
