Users Can Now Leave Reviews For Apple’s First-Party Apps

Posted in: Today's Chili

Like most manufacturers, Apple usually bundles its own apps on its products, whether it be the iPhone, iPad, or Mac computers. For the most part these apps are functional and simple where they are good enough to get the job done, but not necessarily the best if you want more advanced features.

However, you can now tell Apple how you feel about their first-party apps because it seems that with iOS 15, Apple has enabled user reviews for their first-party apps. App reviews aren’t new and are useful to gauge how effective an app is, but now it looks like users can leave their reviews for Apple’s own apps.

We’re not sure how Apple plans to treat reviews of its own apps, and whether or not they will pay close attention to the ratings and complaints. After all, these are bundled apps so whether users like it or not, some of them already come preinstalled, so whether or not you like them, they’re there until you decide to delete them.

Perhaps this is Apple’s way of showing that they are seeking more feedback from users moving forwards to help improve their first-party apps, but either way, if you’ve always wanted a way to let Apple know how good or bad their apps are here, here’s your chance.

iPhone 14 Could Feature QLC NAND Flash With Lower Write Cycles

Posted in: Today's Chili

While SSDs are considered to be a bit more durable than HDDs due to the fact that they have no moving parts, they do go through wear and tear in the form of write cycles, and unfortunately it looks like the iPhone 14 could actually feature the use of storage that might have lower write cycles compared to its predecessors.

This is according to a report from DigiTimes who claims that for the iPhone 14, Apple will apparently be switching over to the use of QLC NAND flash storage, which could result in lower write cycles. There are apparently two reasons for this. One of those reasons is due to the global chip shortage that is expected to last into 2022, but the other could also be in anticipation for bigger storage iPhones.

One of the benefits of QLC over TLC or MLC NAND flash is that it allows more capacity in the same area, meaning that it would allow Apple to fit more storage without having to make the iPhone bigger/thicker. As our media files get bigger and apps become more powerful, we imagine it’s only a matter of time before Apple starts offering iPhones with more storage, and QLC NAND flash is one of the ways the company could do it.

That being said, we doubt that switching over to QLC means that your next iPhone’s storage will fail after a few months, but for those who tend to hold onto their smartphones for 3-4 years or longer, then maybe this could have an impact on its longevity. Then again, it really depends on how you use your device, so your mileage may vary.

Domesticated cats hunt for primal reasons, not because they’re hungry

Posted in: Today's Chili

It’s no secret that domesticated cats kill a vast quantity of wildlife when allowed outdoors, including everything from insects and rodents to birds. Cat owners are also aware that their pets tend to leave their kills behind rather than eating them, and there’s a good reason for that: they get most of their food from humans and seemingly prefer it … Continue reading
