steve would have personally fired every single person involved with ical before he would have allowed an issue big enough to make the new york times go unfixed

i wonder if tim is getting the message yet that he actually has to run the business and monitor the work being done and can't just focus on what celeb he'll invite to the next keynote

don't you have to have an icloud email account to get them?

No. I don't even use iCloud for anything except contacts. The calendar invites are addressed to my gmail, but only show up in iCloud calendar and don't go to Google at all(??). Maybe there's a Chinese Apple employee selling access to iCloud caldav infrastructure.

windows 10 refuses to let you access your calendar without crashes or bugs, so you won't be bothered by spam notification

I can access my calendar fine on windows 10. I can also delete calendar invites w/out sending notifications. its pretty sad you have to lie about it to make you feel better about your fail aids apple software.

Also its been a few months and I still hate pressing Home to unlock instead of swiping. it always takes extra presses and i accidentally open apple pay at least 70% of the time.

hi friends, im thinking of selling my '14 MBPr 15-inch for the new MBPr with the touchbar. is it even worth it? the upgraded GPU is p cool, but i feel like everything else is kinda the same minus form factor. I use it for light gaming and mostly programming

touchid takes a wildly inconsistent amount of time to actually unlock the phone

also my phone restarts when I unlock it once or twice a day

ios 10 is such a pile of garbage

The Touch ID on my 7 works way better than my 6 did. Don't have much trouble despite my hilariously sweaty/greasy fingers. Still can't get used to the no slide to unlock thing, but I'm trying to embrace the suck.
