For those who use an iPhone or iPad, Apple has an update to 16.2 that has a very good data encryption method were Apple DOES NOT have your encryption keys!!

I just now updated my phone.

The new encryption must be turned on manually after update. It is hidden in Settings, apple id iCloud media & purchases menu tree.

Looks like there are problems in Apple iOS land. The release iOS 8.0.1 to fix bugs in 8.0, and 8.0.1 was pulled when it caused major problems like these:

reports began flooding in that iOS 8.0.1 was breaking cellular reception and other features like Touch ID. Apple eventually removed the faulty update, but not before an untold number of users were able to install it.  http://www.theverge.com/2014/9/24/6839235/apple-ios-8-0-1-released

Yes, it did say “breaking cellular reception”. And one of the main reasons I have a cell phone is cellular reception, i.e. making and receiving phone calls.

I was thinking of updating my phone today, thankfully I saw this article before I did so. Maybe I’ll update some time in October when Apple gets it right.

iOS 7.1.1 Update Turns Location Service On Without Asking

iPhone users beware!  I updated to iOS 7.1.1 and when I checked my privacy settings, I saw that Location Services was on. I always keep this off, except when I am using Google maps (rarely). Bad enough that the NSA is spying on our location, I don’t need Apple nor Google nor any other corporation doing the same. Just what I need, more ads, more junk email, etc.

Come on Apple, I bought an expensive phone from you. Don’t turn off a privacy setting – I don’t want to share my location with anyone, least of all advertisers and marketers.

My iPhone 5s Has Arrived

I got an email from Best buy that the iPhone I reserved had arrived in the store. Quite the surprise, I was not expecting to see it for a few weeks.  So to Best Buy Gary and I went after my work. Gary had to be present as the Verizon account we share is in his name. I am now the owner of an iPhone, which I don’t know how to use yet. My last phone was an Android.  On Friday when I have time I’ll learn to use it and install the apps I need.

The man at Best Buy got my email account connected to the new phone so I have enough to get started with.

I got the space gray color, at the store they said the gold color was very rare and they have seen only 1 of these.
