Apple fined for slowing down old iPhones

Apple agrees to pay a £21m fine in France for not making it clear that it slowed down old iPhones.

Latest IOS is 13.1 as of Sept 2019. I'm sure 14 will be released shortly.

IOS 13 was released Sept and correct, iPhone 6 and below is not supported. So 7 and above still is. (14 hasn't even been announced yet.) Still ahead of other phones. Android guarantees support for 2 years. Some Android phones cannot be updated at all. (And not updating does leave you open to security vunarablilities, regardless of platform)

Disneyland was open 9am to 9pm today, but they called it a night at 7:45pm. Only one break down today, and let's hope that @TragicMike was able to work around that and got a chance to ride.

In happier news, the weather was much nicer today and this evening is crisp but dry, and Millennium Falcon: Target Run has collapsed into only a 15 minute wait by 8pm! New E Ticket! Chewbacca! See now! It's Fun, We Promise! Ahora!

And just as I typed this the fireworks erupted on the horizon outside my den windows, and they look really lovely in the clear, crisp evening tonight. So at least there's that!

Time to ditch PotC for the much better Shanghai version, too.

You may not believe this, but it's been reported by a couple folks in another thread that the VIP plaids have no access to Rise Before Dawn unless you already have a Boarding Group you got with everyone else at 8am. Even at the $1,000 an hour they charge for VIP's, if you didn't get a Boarding Group that morning the plaid can't get you in.

Can confirm. I have a DLR trip planned for March 21-24 with friends who are big Star Wars fans and have a LOT of disposable income. They were planning to spring for a plaid so we could skip the Rise Before Dawn madness, but we decided against it after speaking with VIP Tours and learning that there was no special access for either Batuu attraction (though with Target Run being added to MaxPass soon, I expect that it will be accessible via plaid at the same time).

What's a plaid except a color pattern?

Got group 8 yesterday and group 30 today. As soon as they scanned us in today they made the announcement that the ride is down. Currently waiting in line hoping it's a shorter delay.

Was down about an hour but then was backed up significantly. The hangar room had probably 300 people in it when we got off the transport and kind of ruined the illusion.

Wow. Both rides are off limits to VIP plaid tours?!? I kind of understand Rise Before Dawn, even though you'd think for those prices they could just pull out a couple hundred Boarding Group ressies per day for the VIP groups. But also Target Run?!? That one is just baffling, since the ride rarely gets more than a 45 minute wait and has a dedicated Fastpass lane that is currently going unused.

Maybe they are just trying to keep all the VIP groups out of Star Wars Land entirely because they know they can't get on Rise Before Dawn. Still, somehow I'm surprised that TDA is able to shoot themselves in the foot like this. And for people spending thousands of dollars on a VIP tour!! Just baffling.
