Apple needs more than HomePod to play in smart home

“When Apple announced in 2014 that it was creating the HomeKit for iOS devices, I thought it would give the company a lead in the smart home,” Travis Hoium writes for The Motley Fool. “Smart devices like thermostats were already becoming popular, and more devices were likely to hit the market.”

How Apple's HomeKit broke my digital heart

How Apple’s HomeKit broke my digital heart

“When Apple first announced HomeKit in 2014 I hoped it would be the unifying platform that let me truly control all my smart home devices as if they all came from the same company,” Jeff Gamet writes for The Mac Observer. “That turned out to be true, but in the end it doesn’t really matter because HomeKit has become a raging s*#t storm, and I finally have to accept that.”

How Apple’s Mac OS X Snow Leopard became synonymous with reliability

“Following the news that Apple had refocused their plans for iOS 12 around stability and performance over new features, many were quick to liken the move to a ‘Snow Leopard release’ of iOS,” Michael Steeber writes for 9to5Mac. ” In recent years, the phrase has reached mythological status in the Apple community, a catch-all referring to stable software and ‘the good ol’ days’ of the Mac.”

Yet another macOS High Sierra bug: Unlock App Store system preferences with any password; another one Apple should have caught

“Less than two months ago, Apple users discovered a bug in macOS that allowed anyone to log in with root access,” Jason Cross writes for Macworld. “Apple apologized and fixed it quickly, but now users on Open Radar have found a similar (but far less severe) macOS password bug.”

At Tim Cook’s Apple, Steve Jobs is long gone, and so is the ‘it just works’ ethos

“‘It just works,'” Adrian Kingsley-Hughes writes for ZDNet. “This is the phrase that Steve Jobs trotted out year after year to describe products or services that he was unveiling. The phrase expressed what Apple was all about — selling technology that solved problems with a minimum of fuss and effort on the part of the owner. Well, Steve is now long gone, and so it the ethos of ‘it just works.'”

“The expression ‘safe as houses’ will become a thing of the past if tech firms don’t get connected home security right, and the need to be incredibly watchful was visible in Apple’s latest security blunder this week,” Jonny Evans writes for Computerworld
