However, one of the biggest updates that will impact all users is Apple’s new App Tracking Transparency feature.

The government was again accused of running an illicit propaganda campaign against its critics yesterday, as the opposition launched its mobile "censure debates". A group of opposition MPs working to promote public participation in politics gathered at a Bangkok hotel to launch the first in a series of debates targeting the Prayut administration. Prachachart Party secretary-general Thawee Sodsong accused the government of using taxpayers' money to sow division in society through its so-called Information Operations (IO).

Brand loyalty is a thing of the past for car owners. A recent survey shows that buyers no longer care as much whether there’s a Prancing Horse or Blue Oval on top of the bonnet. More important: Will my smartphone connect to the car’s infotainment system? Will I be able to answer messages from the car? Will I be able to get my Spotify playlists while driving? Seven out of 10 respondents (69%) taking part in a survey by Germany’s IT association Bitkom said that Android or iOS connectivity was a more important question before buying. The brand of the next car, on the other hand, is only an important matter for 65%. The younger the buyer, the more important good smartphone integration via CarPlay, Android Auto or manufacturer software is, according to the research. In the group of up to 29-year-olds, this is vital to 80% of drivers, and to 78% of 30 to 49-year-olds, meaning the vast majority of under 50-year-olds want to bring their own music and apps with them when driving. ... » Learn More about Car buyers today: Who cares who made it – will my smartphone connect?
