-

Apple has been hit with a class action lawsuit by customers who claim that information from their purchases on iTunes was sold to third parties, Billboard reports. According to a new report by Billboard, plaintiffs Leigh Wheaton, Jill Paul, and Trevor Paul allege that Apple was collecting and selling their data to third parties despite “touting its supposedly pro-consumer positions on issues of data privacy,” as Billboard points out. The plaintiffs reportedly claimed that this practice was done in violation of their respective states’ (Rhode Island and Michigan) privacy laws. They are allegedly seeking over $5 million in damages, according to court documents viewed by Billboard. The suit was filed today (May 24) in California’s Northern Federal District.
Billboard reports that the complaint claims Apple “supplements its revenues by selling, renting, and transmitting with third parties information about the music that each customer purchases from the iTunes Store.” The suit reportedly claims that Apple discloses full names and home addresses of its customers along with other information pertaining to music they have purchased on the iTunes store.

I’ve been pointing it out over and over and over — it’s hard to justify spending $1,760 for a maxed-out iPhone XS (UK pricing at launch) when the exact same model costs $1,349 in the U.S. And it’s even harder in a country like Hungary, where the price is even higher and the average customer’s purchasing power is far lower than in the U.S. Subscr...

Blend multiple images and create stunning double exposures with ease,” the “Fuzion” team wrote in a post on Monday.  The feature would work on the new iPhones -- iPhone 8 Plus, X, XR, and XS.  The app comes with features to capture portrait photos with automatic silhouette detection, choices from a variety of backgrounds by top photographers to blend with the portrait and options to add dust overlays, light leaks and colour filters. “The app utilises the powerful “TrueDepth” and dual cameras of new iPhones to automatically detect a person’s silhouette and cut them out of the background,” the post added. The editing app was released to a group of beta teste...
