Credit to Author: Jonny Evans| Date: Thu, 13 Jun 2019 07:08:00 -0700
Apple will make NFC much more useful in iPhones running iOS 13, and these enhancements will impact the retail, medical, government and security industries.
What is Apple changing?
Apple already uses NFC to support Apple Pay and the Apple Pay Express Transit system which is rolling out at this time.
While it has incrementally extended the tasks NFC supports over the years, the company has limited its NFC support to the NDEF standard until now, but extends this with support for new standards in its Core NFC Framework in iOS 13.

Apple introduced an array of additional privacy protections at WWDC 2019. Many of these both offer protection and help us better understand how our privacy is undermined.
Why does this matter?
Apple CEO Tim Cook is passionate about the need to protect user privacy and this is by no means a one man mission.
Speaking with Vector, Apple’s VP Software Technology, Bud Tribble stressed the need to educate people into the needs and benefits of privacy, a topic he believes is much more” widely discussed now than before.

Los investigadores continúan encontrando nuevas formas con las que anunciantes pueden rastrear a los usuarios en sitios web y aplicaciones “identificando” las características únicas de sus dispositivos. Algunos de estos identificadores son bien conocidos, incluidos los números de teléfono y IMEI, o las direcciones Mac de Wi-Fi y Bluetooth, por lo que el acceso a […]<img src=”http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/sophos/dgdY/~4/WouE0sMIX1g” height=”1″ width=”1″ alt=””/>

Children are emotional. Protecting them matters. When it comes to technology, do you want developers you don’t know over whom you have no control watching what your children do on their devices?
Apple doesn’t
Apple recently cut developers off from using MDM software to drive third-party parental control solutions.
Developers were upset, and seventeen smaller developers you’ve probably never heard of got together just days before Apple’s WWDC 2019 conference with a well-organized PR campaign and a professional website to demand access to new API’s that let them develop parental control software for iOS.

Apple’s devices are far better defended against malware and viruses than other platforms, but does this mean they don’t need anti-virus software?
No, yes and maybe
I’ve lost track of the number of times Mac users have told me Macs don’t need virus protection because they are inherently more robust against such attacks.
I’ve also lost count of how many security researchers have said that Apple devices are becoming more liable to being attacked as their market share grows.
Both are right. Both are wrong.
