Apple's default apps are collecting user data even if users try disabling them, research from Aalto University claims, with it being an almost impossible task to properly accomplish.Apple's Advanced Data Protection featureApple prides itself on making privacy a key reason to own an iPhone and its other products. It has privacy policies like App Tracking Transparency that can limit the amount of data collected by third-party apps installed by users.However, a study by Aalto University that examined default apps and services included as part of a new iPhone found Apple's own apps can feed back a lot of data to Apple. Also, that data was hard to prevent from being collected in the first place.

Macworld It probably won’t surprise anyone that the iPhone 16 will have some minor differences from the iPhone 15. Slimmer bezels, a slightly different arrangement of cameras on the back, a new processor, and so on. Now, a pair of new rumors gives us some possible insight into other changes from last year’s iPhone. First, we have a leaker from Chinese social media site Weibo with an unproved track record who claims to have battery figures for this year’s iPhone 16 models (compared to the iPhone 15 lineup): iPhone 16: 3561mAh (+6%) iPhone 16 Plus: 4006mAh (-9%) iPhone 16 Pro: 3355mAh (+2.5%) iPhone 16 Pro Max: 4676mAh (+5%) The capacities for all models are just slightly different than this year’s iPhone 15 lineup, with the biggest change being a nearly 10 percent drop in overall capacity for the iPhone 16 Plus. However, measuring battery capacity in milliamp-hours doesn’t always give a good picture of battery life, as it doesn’t take into account nominal voltage output. How long your iPhone lasts is a factor of much more than battery capacity: the power utilization of the processor, RAM, storage, wireless radios, display, and other sensors all play a huge part. In other words, it’s still too early to know if the iPhone 16 models will last longer than the iPhone 15 or not. Another Weibo leaker claims to have the scoop on colors for the iPhone 16 Plus. We expect the regular iPhone 16 to carry the same colors, though the Pro models usually differ. According to this leaker, the colors for the iPhone 16 Plus will be white, black, blue, green, pink, purple, and yellow. That’s the same colors as the current iPhone 15 models with the addition of white and purple. Of course, these simple adjectives don’t give us a feel for what they will really look like. Green can be a very pale pastel mint color green as it is on the iPhone 15 today, or a deep forest green, or anything in between.

Apple has been having no luck arguing against the EU's Digital Markets Act, and it's paid the price in fines and forced changes to its App Store — so now it's looking for a European head of PR.Apple logo superimposed on a European Union flagIt perhaps says a lot about Apple's success in promoting itself across Europe that it's not been possible to confirm that the Head of Corporate PR role is actually new. Even in a famously secretive company, the issue of who runs PR shouldn't be a mystery.And there have definitely been people in charge, they just don't appear to have had this particular title. Tanya Ridd, for instance, was reportedly Apple's head of PR for north and south Europe, which you'd think would just mean Europe.
