Apple will ban apps that collect user data despite the ban
In June of this year, Apple showed us new operating systems on the occasion of the WWDC 2020 developer conference. Of course, iOS 14 was able to get the most attention. At first glance, it was able to attract attention with the arrival of widgets on the home screen, the so-called Application Library, significantly better notifications in the event of an incoming call, and the like. But there is still one very interesting innovation hidden in the system, which represents a kind of new policy against programs that Apple users follow in the background across applications and pages in order to be able to deliver personalized ads.

However, this function was postponed and Apple plans to launch it only at the beginning of 2021. This gives developers time to adapt this news. Currently, the icon of the Cupertino giant, Craig Federighi, who is the vice president for software engineering, also commented on these connections. He asks the developers to play against the rules, otherwise they can really screw themselves up. If they decide to bypass this news, Apple will with a high probability completely remove their application from the App Store.
Various giants, led by Facebook, have already spoken out against this news in the past, according to which it is a so-called anti-competitive move on the part of the apple company, which will mainly ruin small entrepreneurs. Apple, on the other hand, argues that it tries to protect the privacy of its users and their personal data, which is often resold between advertising companies. According to the Californian giant, this is an invasive and terrifying method. How do you view this whole situation?
Adobe Lightroom took aim at Macs with the M1
When Apple showed us the Apple Silicon project during the aforementioned WWDC 2020 conference, i.e. the transition to its own chips in the case of Macs, a tremendous discussion broke out on the Internet almost immediately. Indeed, many people were of the opinion that there would be no applications available on this new platform, and therefore the products would be almost worthless. Fortunately, Apple managed to refute these concerns. Because we have the Rosetta 2 solution available, which translates applications written for Macs with an Intel processor, thanks to which you can run them even on the latest pieces. At the same time, a number of developers are also successfully preparing their applications for this new platform. And now Adobe has joined them with its Lightroom program.
Specifically, Adobe has released an update for Lightroom CC in the Mac App Store labeled 4.1. This update brings with it native support for apple products with the M1 chip, which will undoubtedly be appreciated by a wide range of apple lovers. At the same time, Adobe should work on preparing their entire Creative Cloud project for Apple products, which we should expect as early as next year.
Apple has announced when Fitness+ will launch
During the September Keynote, apart from the new iPads and Apple Watch, Apple also showed us a very interesting service called Fitness+. In short, we could say that it is a comprehensive personal trainer that will guide you completely through training, help you get in shape, reduce weight and the like. Of course, the service will primarily be intended for the Apple Watch, which will also take your heart rate and thus monitor the entire exercise. The first launch should then take place already on Monday, December 14, but there is one catch.

Agreement. I just deleted Facebook a long time ago, what do they care that I opened a banking application. Watching this shit laced with advertising and "funny" videos stopped entertaining me anyway.
