No mention of whether any existing exploits have been found.

KDE Connect is Now Available for iPhone and iPad but…

Bild/Foto
An official KDE Connect mobile client is now available on the Apple App Store. The addition of this official iOS app means folks with an iPhone and/or iPad can benefit from a deeper set of integration between their mobile devices and their Linux desktop. So things like seeing battery level, notifications, shared clipboard, sending files, etc are what should work.

But, this iPhone so…. the app will not work in the background, which is a bit of a pain for things like notifications. The app is trying to address that, and as of now, the clipboard pushes from the phone to the Linux desktop, but not the other way. So consider it work in progress, but at least the app has made it from TestFlight to the main app store.

Yes, I know, I used to use the app on Android, and it did do everything. If you’re a Linux user with an Android phone, you certainly want to use this app.

Find My iPhone Helped This Mother Track and Save Kidnapped Son | iPhoneHacks

The Apple Watch has proven to be particularly useful in helping people receive timely attention from the authorities when faced with life-threatening situations. In a similar incident that unfolded in Atlanta, Georgia, one mother’s quick out-of-the-box thinking helped her track and save her nine-year-old son after the family car was stolen while the child was still inside.

Senior #EU officials were targeted with Israeli #spyware

source: https://www.reuters.com/technology/exclusive-senior-eu-officials-were-targeted-with-israeli-spyware-sources-2022-04-11/

The commission became aware of the targeting following messages issued by #Apple to thousands of #iPhone owners in November telling them they were "targeted by state-sponsored attackers," the two EU officials said. It was the first time Apple had sent a mass alert to users that they were in #government hackers' crosshairs.

The EU itself likes to incubate surveillance plans against its own population but the #politicians of course do not want to be monitored themselves.

How Volvo put Apple Watch at the center of its services vision | Computerworld

Volvo has unleashed a big improvement in customer satisfaction after equipping its 1,500 service engineers with an Apple Watch to use during their day. What, on the face of it, seems a small change reflects extensive cultural change across the company, which is actively engaged in digital transformation across its business.

I wonder why more companies don't implement similar solutions, and I don't know why this has taken so long. The tech is there. Maybe there8s an opportunity for a company that supplies bespoke solutions of this kind.

iPhones. The Most Advanced Surveillance Device Ever Made

So many believe the lie that an iPhone is a privacy focused device. The truth is sadly the opposite. In fact, as I will explain in this video, the iPhone is in fact the most advanced surveillance device ever made.

I'm not sure what Apple's motive is since the claim not to sell the data. But it does raise questions about State level partnerships.
