Apple Sued for Reportedly Selling iTunes User Data

It feels like almost every single day, Apple gets sued for something. We previously reported on a widow winning a case over access to her dead husband’s iCloud account, as well as the “Apple Monopoly” case where Apple has been accused of creating a monopoly over the App Store. Now it’s time for yet another lawsuit, this time over privacy.

Apple has been very loud in it’s “What happens on your iPhone, stays on your iPhone” ad campaign, however, does that include MacBooks and other Apple devices running iTunes? Because if it does, someone may be in trouble. Three unnamed individuals have filed a court case against Apple, for selling iTunes user data to third-parties.

The lawsuit, filled in California, accuses the Cupertino company of selling data regarding what users are listening to, liking and adding to their playlists via iTunes and Apple Music.

Apple is a very strong advocate for privacy in the technology community, making the whole case quite ironic. Apple has stepped up against organisations like the FBI in the past over a single iPhone, just to show off how much they care about their user privacy. On top of that, the company has multiple times released posts, ad-campaigns and much more addressing privacy as the reason to use Apple devices.

If this case proves to be true, Apple could risk their whole privacy-oriented reputation.

2019 iPhone 11 Could Stream Audio to Two Bluetooth Devices Simultaneously

A new supply chain says that the iPhone 11 will support streaming content to two Bluetooth devices simultaneously. The feature will allow iPhone users to listen to music or stream music to two devices at once.

The feature is already found on Samsung’s flagship Galaxy S and Note series since the last couple of years. Samsung first debuted this feature with the Galaxy S8 in 2017 and other Android OEMs like Motorola have since offered similar functionality in their smartphones.

This feature is actually a part of Bluetooth 5.0 and while the iPhone X and iPhone XS feature the same version of Bluetooth, they don’t support Dual Bluetooth streaming.

By default, while iPhones and other smartphones can connect to multiple Bluetooth devices at once, they can only stream audio to one of them at any given time.

This might not be a groundbreaking feature per se but some iPhone users are definitely going to find it useful.

Apart from the ability to stream audio to two Bluetooth devices at once, the 2019 iPhones are going to come with minor design changes. This includes a single frosted glass panel encompassing the rear cameras, triple rear cameras for the iPhone XS successors, bigger batteries, reverse wireless charging, and more. The Face ID hardware will also be upgraded to make it faster and feature a wider angle of view.

Our Take
Leaks have already given us a good idea of what the 2019 iPhones will pack. It does not seem like they will pack any breakthrough feature in terms of hardware. Most of the additions that Apple plans to make have already been implemented by other Android OEMs, including reverse wireless charging, ultra-wide angle cameras, and more.
