    Daily Megathread - On-Device CSAM Scanning

    Posted: 24 Aug 2021 06:00 AM PDT

    Hi r/Apple, welcome to today's megathread to discuss Apple's new CSAM on-device scanning.

    As a reminder, here are the current ground rules:

    We will be posting daily megathreads for the time being (at 9 AM ET) to centralize some of the discussion on this issue. This was decided by a sub-wide poll, results here.

    We will still be allowing news links in the main feed that provide new information or analysis. Old news links, or those that re-hash known information, will be directed to the megathread.

    The mod team will also, on a case by case basis, approve high-quality discussion posts in the main feed, but we will try to keep this to a minimum.

    Please continue to be respectful to each other in your discussions. Thank you!

    For more information about this issue, please see Apple's FAQ as well as an analysis by the EFF. A detailed technical analysis can be found here.

    One Year of Leaving a MacBook Pro Connected to Power

    Posted: 24 Aug 2021 09:04 AM PDT

    Hello r/Apple

    One year ago, I purchased the top model Intel MacBook Pro ("2.0GHz Intel Core i5 Quad-Core Processor with Intel Iris Plus Graphics, 1TB Storage"). However, I had a pressing question. Given that the pandemic was still ongoing, and I was doing Zoom University, was it okay to just leave my laptop plugged into the charger all the time? After all, I rarely left home, it was treated more like a desktop than a laptop.

    Apple has a wealth of support documents on battery life and longevity. They go to great lengths to explain charge cycles and whatnot. However, nowhere on the website does Apple address the issue of leaving a laptop plugged in v. cycling the battery over a long period of time. I mean it's a niche situation to begin with, but I still wanted answers.

    I next tried a simple Google search, but there is so much contradictory information online. Some say it's perfectly okay, others say it degrades the battery because batteries don't like being kept at a full charge. Some say it's okay, but that you should cycle the battery once a month, while others remark that batteries don't have a "memory" and so that practice is unnecessary. Some say keeping it on the charger is best for batteries because that will result in fewer cycles—plus, the battery "trickle charges" anyway. Still, others counter that leaving Macs plugged in all the time degrades the battery because of heat.

    Thoroughly confused, I reached out to Apple support via chat. Support said that whether or not to keep a laptop plugged in was a "personal preference." I asked if it even mattered because when a Mac is plugged into power it runs off AC power, and she confirmed this but clarified that the battery still drains anyway?

    With no clear answer, I sent an email to Tim Cook with hopes that the executive office could direct me to someone with the right answer. T2 support or a battery engineer or something. I know what you're thinking, "who cares?" I mean I wasn't expecting my battery to be and behave like it was factory new a year or two later. I just wanted confirmation, from Apple, that such a practice was safe, and that it wouldn't totally destroy my battery so I could rely on it when I could eventually start taking my new Mac out and about again. Anyway, no one responded to that email.

    Now it's been a year. With a few exceptions such as travel, my MacBook Pro has been plugged into power daily, 24/7, whether I'm actively using it or not. I also seldom shut it down, just put it to sleep, though I do most of my work on an iPad. With a year of this behavior, how do the battery stats look?

    Charge Information:

    Charge Remaining (mAh): 4405

    Fully Charged: Yes

    Charging: No

    Full Charge Capacity (mAh): 4502

    Health Information:

    Cycle Count: 43

    Condition: Normal

    Battery Installed: Yes

    Amperage (mA): 0

    Voltage (mV): 12558

    Less than 100 mAh down and only 43 cycles in one year. Like I said, I wasn't expecting a brand new battery. My only concern was whether performance would be severely degrading by basically never cycling the battery. A year later we have our answer: No.

    TL;DR: Leaving your Mac laptop connected to power all the time is perfectly safe, and won't negatively degrade battery life.

    How does Apple secure your data with account deletions? Does “delete” really mean “delete”?

    Posted: 24 Aug 2021 11:19 AM PDT

    If you go through the process of deleting your Apple ID, and all of the content associated with it (Videos, games, pictures, bookmarks, health data, Apple Pay, etc), does Apple delete the encryption keys to your content on their servers?

    If any of your information is stored in server backups, do they throw away those encryption keys so that your data cannot be viewed or compromised somehow? I know that Apple says "delete" means "delete". But really, what does "delete" mean to Apple?

    I've heard that Google has an entire team dedicated to ensuring that deleted account data really does become deleted by them encrypting your data and erasing those keys, so even if your info is stored in their backups - they cannot ever access it. I'm just wondering what steps Apple takes to erase your content from their infrastructure once you "delete"' your account.

    Also, their infrastructure includes hosting iCloud data on AWS and Google Cloud.

    MacBook M1 Air & Pro Display Issues?

    Posted: 24 Aug 2021 07:59 AM PDT

    Recently my 3 month old M1 air cracked for no reason. I literally came home to a cracked screen after being gone for two days. Took it to a repair shop... luckily I have Apple care or it would be $400-$500 out of pocket. Was informed that the MacBook screen was very sensitive to the point where if you leave a sesame seed in between the screen and the keyboard it could crack the entire display. Apparently it's been multiple articles about this throughout the year. This just seems like something that should be covered by Apple under the limited warranty. It's no way you should be paying $1000+ for a MacBook and the air being able to crack it.
