Latest Issue of Bon Appétit Shot with iPhones
The editors of the venerable culinary magazine Bon Appétit issued an unexpected challenge to its photographers for the March 2016 issue: No cameras other than iPhones. Some of the photographers were taken aback, while others were thrilled at the opportunity. Without their bulky DSLRs and gear, they were occasionally mistaken for tourists, but they reported mostly positive experiences and offered a few tips for making the most of the iPhone’s camera. And the photos look great!
I'm a long time Apple user - since 1990 - some would even call me a "fanboy".
But I'm having a LOT of trouble with Tim Cook's stance about Apple privacy. Will the iPhone become the "phone of choice" for terrorists all over the world?
I think I learned to accept a degree of loss of privacy when I had my first baby, 46 years ago. I think I was examined by everyone but the maintenance staff during my 24 hours of labor, and I mean "examined" in the most intimate way. Somehow, it's just never been a big issue for me since then.
I certainly want Apple to keep me safe from hackers, but as innovative a company as Apple can surely find a way to allow entry into an iPhone when under a court order for good cause. Perhaps there need be only 3-5 people on earth who can do this, but it needs to be done sometimes.
Suzanne, this is very much not the right article to discuss this in - it's about Bon Appetit using iPhones.
But the fact is, if the U.S. government can get into your iPhone, so can organized crime and foreign governments. And, more to the point, organized crime and foreign governments will be able to get into anyone's iPhone, including those of diplomats, military personnel, law enforcement agents, corporate executives, and so on. That's an unacceptable outcome.
